2002 Volkswagen Beetle GLS review from North America

"Don't buy it unless you want to smell like crayons!!!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Smells like a crayon!!!

General comments?

Well at about 50,000 or so miles, my car started smelling like crayons!!! So I thought to myself my daughter must have shoved a crayon down the air vents!!! BUT NO!!! Here I find the confirmation to my nightmare!!! It's the car!!

So I called the dealership when I didn't know what was wrong with my car, and I said my car smelled like crayons, and as if the rep didn't know anything about VWs smelling like crayons, he said oh it's only 1,000 to take the dashboard part and look for the crayon!!! Ah! thank god I decided to look it up on the internet... well for those people that think that the smell is a VW trait, why does the car not smell that way right away? Why doesn't it smell that way when it's parked at the dealer? Because let me tell you something if that car smelled that bad (and it's not a little smell, it's like I get out of the car and I smell like a crayon!!!) I would have NEVER purchased that vehicle!!!

VW should know better and how long have they been making cars??? Don't they know what not to use!! I can't even imagine how bad that is to breath in anyways!!! So what are my choices?

1. SELL THE CAR? AND WHO WOULD BUY IT? AND IF SOMEONE DID BUY IT BECAUSE I SOME HOW MASKED THE SMELL, HOW TERRIBLE WOULD I FEEL?

2. TRADE IN THE CAR AND GOOD LUCK TO ME.. I'll get a penny!!!

I think it's time for a class suit!!! I am calling my lawyer... and if anyone is with me e-mail me at maria1985268@yahoo.com

VW SHOULD TAKE CARE OF THE ISSUE... NOT FAIR!!! PLUS PROBABLY NOT GOOD FOR YOU AT ALL!!!
