2000 Volkswagen Beetle

Pros: excellent handling, good fuel economy, roomy

Cons: a little noisy, warning system startling

Review: Every time my in-laws go out of town, my husband and I get the pleasure of borrowing their 2000 Volkswagen Beetle to drive. Our car is an older sedan, so driving the bug is a real treat, and my husband says he would love to own one himself.

Cons: Very small, minor visibility problems.

The Bottom Line: Great first new car due to low price and excellent safety and warranty. Good car for a young family or second car for older family. Fun and good looking!

Review: The Volkswagen New Beetle is one of the most enigmatic cars on the road today. It has recieved accolades and awards before it even entered production, and has recieved high ratings such as safest car in it's class (subcompact). It's bulbous...

Pros: reliable as a gun, ride comfort, safety, cruisability, 113mph top speed

Review: I've been driving a 2000 New Beetle since last July, and I couldn't be more impressed with it. I tell folks that although the New Beetle is sort of a novelty-type car, it is as reliable and fun to drive as any car in the same price range. My beetle is...

Pros: Reliable, smooth ride

Cons: Hard to clean seats, long dasboard

Review: My father got a bug a little while ago and this baby rocks! It's quick, runs on diesal, and is a smooth ride. It is honestly a GREAT car, whereas most people would think it is just some fancy little novelty that will wear off in a few months. But, since...

Pros: great options, good price, reliable, fun to drive, etc.

Cons: Cup holders aren't very useable & no compass

Review: What a car! I can honestly say I have never liked a car as much as I do my New Beetle. I find myself out washing it at 6 in the morning on my days off! And people always smile when they see it and I get tons of looks driving down the street.

Pros: price, safety, driving feel, reliability, mileage, good service

Cons: small car, no built-in cd.

Review: I bought my VW Beetle last March. I chose it because it was relatively inexpensive, I no longer needed a "family car" (we have another one for that), and I wanted something amusing and distinctive, but at the same time reliable and safe, and...

Pros: great gas mileage; roomy; cute; fun!

Cons: you'll get too much attention?

Review: I've had my Beetle TDI for 3 months now and I've never been happier with a car. I commute about 50 miles a day and the gas mileage I get out of this automatic turbo diesel is incredible! 35-37 mile per gallon in commuting traffic! (That's better than I...

Pros: Excellent aesthetics, fun driving and great fuel efficiency!

Cons: Trade off / backseat space for front roominess

Review: It's funny that one of the marketing slants on this car has been "Based on alien technology". And as hokey as it sounds, it's probably not far from truth. (grin) From the exterior design and style that has made you rubberneck a few times as...

Pros: suspension, steering, package, size, economy, style, expensive feel

Cons: a bit rough, buzzy engine, size, style, bit more $ then most cars in its class

Review: To tell you the truth when I first saw the New Beetle I laughed. I said to myself who would buy a car that is that cute. Come on, it looks like a toy. A couple weeks later I met my new girlfriend... guess what she drove... yea, a yellow one too. So at...
