2000 Volkswagen Beetle GLX review from North America
"Don't buy this car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
When I purchased the car I bought a warranty that I found out does not cover anything. I had the timing belt replaced within the first month of owning the car. Now less than a year later the timing belt broke and ruined my engine.
General comments?
This car has been a fun car to drive. The power is awsome. I just wish VW was more reliable.
