Explore the 2010 Volkswagen New Beetle

A fun little convertible that makes driving a joy.

I was very impressed with the state-of-the-art of this car especially for 2010. Since I am a CD user, it's nice to find a vehicle with a superb CD player (VW's Monsoon audio system). The vehicle handles nimbly and the head room is excellent. Driver and passengers enjoy panoramic views out the Beetle's big windows. I think if you've never driven a New Beetle, you'll be an instant convert after a test drive. I like buying used to save the high costs of a new vehicle

A fun little convertible that makes driving a joy.

This used vehicle meets a lot of my objectives: price, mileage, reliability, fun factor. The color is candy apple red (salsa red) and it sure is a head turner. I really enjoy it.

Most fun I’ve ever had with a car!

So many people have come up to me to tell me how cute this car is. Everyone has their own, “ When I had my Beetle” story, and they’re all great memories. The car is a real head turner and the front seats have terrific leg room. People are amazed at how much fits in the trunk. My going to hate it when I eventually have to put her down.

Best looking car ever. Fun to drive

Best looking car ever. Looks small but actually very spacious inside. Fits my 6 feet frame with room to spare. Cons: Not very fuel efficient for a small car ~20 city/25 highway

Mechanical Issues at Less Than 60,000 Miles

Loved the design of the car! However, I had major transmission issues at less than 60,000 miles. It had to be taken in twice for transmission. There were other issues too, including spark plugs and headlight replacements. It shouldn't have had so many issues for the amount of miles I drove it.

Great choice for inexpensive style and fun!

This is really a very good car. It is clearly not designed for a lot of general purpose use but for a fun, casual car to tool around in on a nice day it's hard to beat for the money. It is in excellent condition but not being used much now that my daughters have moved away.

Clean, great running, and nice handling vehicle.

Roomier than I ever expected from what one would consider a small vehicle. Handles well in all traffic situations. Fantastic on gas mileage - 30+MPG...
