2005 Volkswagen Beetle review from North America
"Junk"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
What a lemon, the check engine overheat alarm goes off all the time for no reason. The dealer has worked on a fix 7 separate times! Still does the same thing. I have heard the same complaint from other owners. Anyone up for a class action lawsuit?
