2000 Volkswagen Beetle GLS review from North America
"The New Beetle is a great little car for the price"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The rear hatch refuses to open when it is cold.
The door handle is peeling.
Gas flap refuses to close and has been replaced twice.
The car has sluggish acceleration.
General comments?
This car handles great for a car of it's price.
The interior is very roomy in the front, but the rear seats are not useful.
It has 50,000 miles on it and I have had no major problems.
The dealer is very helpful and is always nice.
I intend to keep this car for many years.
