2000 Volkswagen Beetle GTi review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The petrol flap stuck shut once, but was easily fixed free of charge by the dealer.
The front disks became warped. The car had been left outside for over a month while I was on holiday. Again fixed free of charge.
General comments?
This is by far the best car I have ever owned. It's reliable, fairly quick, safe, comfortable and looks fantastic.
It isn't the most practical car in the world, the boot is rather small, and 45 litres of petrol will only get you around 330 miles. That's only slightly over 30 miles per gallon. Fairly poor by European standards.
The UK 2.0 litre spec has lots of great equipment. With the Winter pack giving heated seats and heated windscreen washers.
