2003 Volkswagen Beetle GLS covertible review from North America
"Not for city people parking on the street!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The front headlights can be easily stolen by popping it out with a screwdriver. $350 to replace with a VW new replacement.
Passenger side coveritble top wing won't go down all the way.
Windows rattle when you shut the door.
Cup holder is very awkward.
General comments?
Cute car.
