Review

I love this car. It's awesome. I feel safe in the b\Beetle. It's quiet, it comes with an enormous amount of standard features, and for about $20,000, you can get a really decent vehicle. This is my first VW, and I've heard horrible rants about their warranty department, so hopefully everything will go smoothly, and nothing major will go wrong. I've only had the car almost a month, and as of right now, I couldn't be happier! It has a great sound system, great air conditioner, great interior, is extremely comfortable, has beautiful new head-lights, the list goes on.

Favorite Features

I'm so happy with how cold the air conditioner gets, and how great the sound system is. It runs GREAT, is QUIET, and I feel really safe while driving.

Suggested Improvements

I haven't noticed it to be as fuel efficient as they have been advertising..

This is my favorite car that I have ever owned! I am 59 years old and love to drive this car! It is comfortable, easy to get in and out of, smooth in handling, has plenty roomy, and is just plain fun.

Favorite Features

It is easy to put the top up and down, comfortable, easy to drive, and has lots of pep!

Suggested Improvements

I can't think of any.

New Ride

Review

I just recently traded an underpowered 2.0 5-speed manual Beetle for a 2.5 6-speed automatic Beetle. It's even the same color. The new vehicle has significantly more power, better ride, and better build quality. The engine purrs at a quiet 2,200 rpm's at highway speed, making travel much more enjoyable. It has the same great features as my '01 model. This is a good car.

Favorite Features

The 6-speed automatic transmission and power.

Suggested Improvements

Figure out how to muffle the engine noise better inside the car.

Still Fun, but No Improvement

Review

The '07 Beetle still lacks the charisma of the old Beetle. So? We should expect more for the more money we pay. How about power seats (sit higher, too), locks, mirrors, a better stereo (MP4), free DVD navigation, cool electronics? Eliminate the pillar and rear blind spots. Give it a better trunk lock. How about the top receding into the boot with an automatic tonneau cover or an power hard top? Give it more power. The handling needs work. It has a firm ride, cut the sponginess. Hey, give it better gas mileage, please! Also, give us attractive mirrors.

Favorite Features

The looks. The ;07 model is better than '06 for the following reasons: the top release doesn't wrench your wrist, it has better steering, faster starts, the engine sounds better (and probably is), it comes in cooler colors, gets better gas mileage, and the knobs and things actually work!

Suggested Improvements

Make everything power. How about a diesel or hybrid convertible? See above. Anyway, it is better than last year.
