Used Volkswagen Beetle for Sale

I drive a 2012 Volkswagen Beetle. I bought the car based primarily on the styling. This is nothing like the New Beetle. It is much more masculine and sporty. The wheels are larger, the overall shape is much wider and lower. The interior the car is also significantly upgraded. The cute factor has been taken away and the car looks and feels like premium small car. The dash is simple and flat and has an awesome extra glove box as a nod to the original Beetle.

This was the first car I bought for myself. A great little vehicle that gets me around from place to place. The biggest downfall of this car is the space. It's a small car with only two doors and a hatchback. The car has heated seats, which are a god-send during the colder months. It hugs tight to the road and I always felt like I had control over the vehicle. The mileage was good, though the maintenance was expensive due to it's compact size and German parts. It's small body made it easy to fit into tighter spots and had little to no blind spots. I didn't really take it to the shop any more often than any of my other cars. Awesome little car to drive!

I was so excited when the redesigned beetle debuted in 2012 that I bought it within the first few months. I regretted this pretty quickly as I noticed some issues within the first couple of weeks. For example, the curved windows would not roll up all the way. I researched online and found this to be a common issue. Volkswagen repaired them with no questions asked because they acknowledged how common it was and that it was the design of the cars fault. It became very inconvenient as I needed mine replaced multiple times. I imagine this has been fixed in the newer versions. Other than that I love the look and feel of this car. The price is a little expensive but that goes with the novelty of owning a beetle compared to other typical compact cars. The gas mileage is less than average and definitely an issue if you have long commutes. I average about 25 MPG which is way less than small cars from that same time frame. Fortunately I have a short commute. The interior of the car is luxurious. It is much bigger in the back seat than older versions but still not somewhere I would want to be stuck for a long road trip. Even the standard version comes with leather heated seats and unique details like color changing lights along the interior door panels. I also liked the inclusion of a phone charger hooked but it is already outdated as it is for an older iPhone charger. It is also located in the glove compartment with a short cord so you are unable to reach it while you are driving.
