1999 Volkswagen Beetle 2.0 review from North America
"Great body design, somewhat reliable. Buy a Honda for less money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
1/2 of quart of oil disappears through a black hole every month.
Coolant level would go down and turn on Low Coolant every month.
Exterior remote mirrors don't work.
Rear window defroster works and sometimes it doesn't.
Radio is junk.
Speakers are junk.
Engine is solid and stable.
Spark plugs are a hassle to change.
Rear auto Trunk release lock, sometimes works other times is does not.
Excellent Factory Paint.
Seats are somewhat uncomfortable.
General comments?
Overall the car is Cute.
Strong Body and good engine.
Nice car to run at ease.
Engine sounds good up to 65MPH. After that it seems it's going to blow up.
