2001 Volkswagen Beetle GLS review from North America
"I will NEVER purchase a Volkswagen ever again!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My turbo has gone out three times in 7 months.
My gear shift went out on me in the middle of a long drive.
The leather seats are uncomfortable and are beginning to tear.
General comments?
I like driving the car cause it just glides as I drive, but having the car less than a year and having to spend more on parts and labor than my monthly payments is not worth it. I can't wait to sell my Volkswagen.
