2000 Volkswagen Beetle review from North America
"Buyers beware, research this vehicle before buying... while fun and friendly a warranty is a must!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Battery has died twice in less than three months of owning the used VW Beetle.
Alternator was replaced within two months of owning the used VW Beetle.
Slight chipping of paint on side mirrors.
Trunk latch has some trouble opening - this may be an eletrical issue.
Power window switches are slow... will need to be replaced soon.
General comments?
Overall paint job is beautiful & unique.
The used VW Beetle drives smooth & with great zip.
The entire stereo system is great!
The Beetle's back seat is a bit uncomfortable for more than an hour drive.
