1998 Volkswagen Beetle GL review from North America
"I love it!"
General comments?
I absolutely love my new Beetle. The only problem I have had with it is that the "Check Engine" light keeps coming on and going off. The dealer said that it was an oxygen sensor, so I took it to get a new one and it works fine! No more light!
The car handles great around corners and generally on the street. There is plenty of room inside. It may not be the fastest car around, but, it is fast enough for me!
I will definitely buy another Volkswagen car, possibly another Beetle.
