1998 Volkswagen Beetle Sport review from North America
"Always reliable and fun to drive!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The cassette player broke, but the dealer replaced it.
The plastic shield under the engine broke. I bought a new one and replaced it.
General comments?
I recently bought this car from my father who bought it brand new. I've been driving the car for the last few months because my car died.
I've always owned and loved Volkswagens. They're very reliable, but of course all cars have their problems. I've been very lucky with buying this car because I know how it's been treated and about the minor problems in its past.
