2001 Volkswagen Beetle review from North America
"A money pit"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My brakes had to be replaced at 18,000 miles.
My side window wouldn't roll up.
The fuel door wouldn't open.
My alternator had to be replaced.
Both of the headlights burned out.
The left turn signal light burned out.
The rear tail light burned out.
The radio and CD changer had to be replaced due too bad wiring.
General comments?
This car is a money pit. In eighteen months, I have had to pay about $800. in repairs. It is fun to drive, but I can't wait to get rid of it!!
