We bought this Beetle new, proud of its diesel fuel mileage and its reputation for being a clean diesel engine. Now everybody knows that these TDI engines are not as clean as advertised, but we do like our bug! The Beetle is totally cute. It's totally fun to drive. It's like driving a go cart! I've driven it in the country and in the city, and I've appreciated its peppiness, speed, and feistiness. Even though it's small, I've felt safe in the Beetle. The Volkswagen dealer has been pretty good to us when we've had problems. Unfortunately, we've had several problems with the Beetle, including doors that are stuck, engine problems, etc. This may be due, however, to the fact that we don't drive the Beetle regularly, preferring to "keep it up" and not put so many miles on it. But the Beetle still looks good even after 12 years of driving, and it still makes people smile. About the only thing that could make the Beetle cuter is if it were a convertible! And it has plenty of storage room, too! Enough for an IKEA run!

I really enjoy how well the vehicle controls, it feels buttery smooth on the road. It's very affordable and well-made for the price you pay and is rather unique compared to other budget car options. The gas mileage is pretty decent as well. Due to the low cost of the car, you can find ones with little quality of life features you'd expect in a luxury vehicle. For example, I bought mine at a way lower cost then other vehicles in the area, but it came with heated leather seats, a killer sound system and a well working A/C.
