2000 Volkswagen Beetle review from North America
"A fast and sporty little cutie"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The engine light came on tonight and I have owned this car for 3 days.
I just bought this car from a dealership on Sunday. Today is Wednesday and the engine light came on while on my way home from work. This is hopefully not a bad omen of what is to come!
General comments?
The car is quick, sporty, and handles extremely well. I love driving it so far, just hoping that the mechanical problems aren't that serious. After reading the reviews here, I am a little skeptical about my purchase.
This is a very comfortable and roomy vehicle.
I have to smile every time I look at my little Beetle.
