1999 Volkswagen Beetle GLS 2.0

Summary:

I STILL LOVE my 1999 BEETLE

Faults:

Well I love my car. I have had it since August 2000 when my brother in law passed to me. He bought the car brand new in August of 1999. The problems barely started last month in August 2002. The car for some reason had one of its fuel injectors pop out that's when the check engine light came on. I got the problem fixed, but then during the process I noticed that one of the fans is not working which is the fan for the A/C. (still not working). Well after that the car started pulling and they went ahead and changed the gas filter which then the car started running fine again. A week later after the car filter was changed spark plugs changed and wiring changed the check engine light came back on. This car used to give me up to 250 miles per hour and in that week it only gave me 110 miles. The car is also making this noise inside the motor as if something was hitting inside. You can also still hear the noise that supposedly is made by the fuel injectors. HELP...

General Comments:

Well my car easily gets dirty inside since its black. Also the hand brake the little button broke off, and also the door handle through the inside the grey handle plastic started to come off right away. I sometimes have trouble closing the trunk it close it hard and it sometimes stays open.

1999 Volkswagen Beetle GLS 2.0

Summary:

The coolest and safest car ever

Faults:

Tires blew twice in 6 months.

VW logo on tire wore off.

Irritating blind spot.

General Comments:

The car is a dream on the road and an A+ where safety in concerned. It handles turns and corners exceptionally well. I am short - about 5 ft. - and have a problem driving most compact cars as I sit too low and can't see the road very well. But for a small car this gives me a great view of the road and the sides and is splendidly roomy inside. The only irritating thing is the amount of blocked space or blind spot especially when you make a left turn. Otherwise it's smooth, cool, fast and reliable. Trust me I know as I was in a huge accident that crashed my car into the guard rails at 60mph and I don't have a scratch on me though the car got totalled! So it's very very safe and sturdy. I will never buy any other car after driving and loving a Beetle. And what's more, it makes heads turn!
