Beetle TDI - A good car....or just an air polluting bug?

Date of Review:  Jun 10, 2003
The Bottom Line: If you are in the market for an economy car, I suggest checking around prior to making a decision on the TDI.
Review: Looking almost exactly like it did back in 1998, the Beetle TDI looks like it belongs on the shelves at your local Toys R Us store versus a car dealership. Looks can be deceiving though, the Volkswagen Beetle is hardly a cheap toy. Since the...

VW Beetle 2003 - Big surprise

Date of Review:  Feb 19, 2004
The Bottom Line: I definitely recommend this car. Ride is great, manual transmission is smooth, fun to drive and ride in it. Great for commute and use by singles/couples!
Review: My husband and I were looking for a small commuter car with good mileage. We looked at Mazda 5, Ford Focus, Suzuki Aerio and etc. Finally we decided to see VW Golf but instead we saw cute little red VW Beetle in the dealer's parking lot and took for...

Fun car, but avoid 2003 models!

Date of Review:  Jun 28, 2008
The Bottom Line: Excellent convertible, but problems in the 2003 and 2004 model make ownership a nightmare.
Review: I have spent a good amount of time in recent year VWs, and like them very much. The idea of a convertible Beetle can't help but make most people smile, but this 2003 (and most 2003s, from my experience now) has brought just about as many frowns as...

Hate Driving until I met with the NEW BUG....

Date of Review:  Aug 31, 2004
The Bottom Line: Anyone who hates driving should give this a try! Driving will never be the same again!
Review: I do not like driving at all. But after I drive the new beetle, even getting stuck in the traffic jam is a lot of fun.
I choose to have the 'white' beetle so it is easier to mix and match with clothes. There are a lot of features that I fall in...

The Lime Green Beetle!

Date of Review:  Aug 7, 2006
The Bottom Line: I would recommend this car to anyone who wants a compact car, that gets great gas mileage and handles well.
Review: I bought my car used from a reputable dealer. I had problems with it after less than 600 miles. The car had 52,000 miles on it. Here are the good and the bad about the car:
Good- Very compact, easy to handle, drives well, lots of head room for...

Now I actually ENJOY my commute!

Date of Review:  Jul 28, 2003
The Bottom Line: A fun, sporty, safe car that will make you smile every time you're behind the wheel.
Review: As a recent college graduate, I have been waiting for months to buy my first new car. For the last 3 years, I've been driving a real beater - an '89 Acura Integra. Well, the Acura has served me well, but as a young professional I felt that it was...

I love my lil bug!!!

Date of Review:  Jan 29, 2008
The Bottom Line: Every girl should have her bug!
Review: This was my very first, brand spanking new car! I'd been dreaming of buying a Beetle since I was 15, so when I was finally able to buy one, I was in 7th heaven.

The car I had at the time, was a Saturn, which was previously owned by my...

Zippy and Fun

Date of Review:  Mar 26, 2004
The Bottom Line: The best car I ever owned, I never leased the same car twice, my next car will be the VW Beetle GLS Turbo convertable.
Review: I purchased the 2003 VW Beetle GLS Turbo. Very simply I LOVE IT. There is so much to say about this GREAT little car. First off you must understand that by purchasing one you become part of a cult. As you can tell by the look of it, it's not your...

Date of Review:  Dec 5, 2007
Review: I bought my (used) 2003 Turbo Beetle because it reminds me of my pug! I was in the market for a non-gas guzzler and always wanted a beetle. As soon as I got the gear shift in my hands, I was hooked. It was so much fun to drive. I got a black beetle...

luv my converible 2003 beetle

Date of Review:  Mar 16, 2008
Review: My husband and I just bought a used 2003 beetle. It's convertible, and the color is mellow yellow. Compared to our big truck and SUV, it looks like a toy. We bought it because all I do on my job is drive - so it gets great gas mileage, and it's...
