Used Volkswagen New Beetle for Sale

The electrical problems have mostly been with the headlights (loose socket) and the windows. My car is a convertible, and whenever you open or close the door the windows tuck themselves under the canvas roof. When that feature breaks, it’s annoying. Also, passengers always thinking the door is locked because you have to hold the handle for a second before it lowers the window to open the door. There is no room in the back seat and the trunk is tiny. I had a roommate call it a “second glove box,” and I can’t say she was inaccurate.

Parts are expensive Moving the seats back in not automatic

My biggest con is the reverse. VW's that have 5 speeds the reverse is over and up, as opposed to every other standard I have driven where its over and down. It makes it easy to put into first and you think its in reverse or vice versa which almost caused several accidents. I don't like the fact that I fit in peoples blind spots, several times I have had SUV's cut over on me and cut me off. It's so small that I feel like if I were to have an accident I would get injured & sometimes the security system sounds off for no reason and scares the hell out of me or people standing nearby. When the turbo kicks in you use a lot more gasoline. I don't like the hum the turbo makes when engaged, it sounds like a weed eater. Also I don't like the fact that when I do have to do repairs the parts are twice as much and the labor is twice as long. I don't like the fact that all the screws in the thing are a special tip, it's like they want you to have to take it to a manufacturer. I don't like the fact that if you loose your key its $200 to have another one made cause you have to go through the manufacturer.
