2000 Volkswagen Beetle review from North America
"Regrets for the purchase of a Beetle"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have replace the water pump 3 times and it just went out again. It costs $400.00 each time.
General comments?
I have already replaced the head light bulb on the driver side. I replace 3 water pumps going in for another one. The radio only works when it is cloudy outside. As soon as I purchased the car the moon roof broke and the dealership said they were not responsible because it was not under warranty. I bought the car mainly because it had low miles. I drive about 55 miles a day 4 times a week to work. (Strictly highway)
