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!!
I have a 2001 Beetle and I have to agree with the review I just read. I have never been more disappointed in a car than I have with this Beetle. I have replaced the battery and the alternator recently, as well as the driver's side window. Then two weeks after the replacements, my car decides when and if it wants to start at all! The status today?: Dead. I've spent a lot of time and money on this car and would love to get rid of it. My gut said Honda Civic three years ago, but my heart said Beetle. I'm going with my gut from now on!
