2007 Volkswagen Beetle review from North America
"Unique, fun, economical, and hopefully reliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Brand new, so nothing. Will give updates as I put more miles on.
General comments?
This is a great car. The 5 cylinder has plenty of power and the handling is better than similar cars. The design is a classic, very unique; cuts into the rear headroom a little, but whatever. My only slight problem with the car is that I wish it handled better. (It handles well, but I am looking for more) Maybe I will upgrade suspension later on. I know VW has had some reliability problems in the past, but I honestly think that these redesigns will be Volkswagen's savior.
