2001 Volkswagen Beetle GLX review from North America
"I am glad I waited for the turbo!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
This car is a dream to drive! Although I have had it less than two weeks, I have found absolutely nothing wrong with it. The other cars I currently own/drive? 1994 Suburban, 1995 Mercedes E320 wagon, and 1980 Mercedes diesel.
I worried about the fact that this car was manufactured in Mexico, but it seems to be just as well-made as the German-made VW's I have owned in the past (1972 VW bug and 1975 VW Scirocco) and much superior to the 1979 VW pick-up that was manufactured in the USA. It will be interesting to see how I feel about this car a year from now...
