2003 Volkswagen Beetle review from UK and Ireland
"Wonderful"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
When first bought the drivers window let in a lot of noise at high speed.
The dealership fixed immediately for no charge.
If you take out the VW service pack, check when you take car to garage to make sure they know you have the cover; their computer systems do not tell them automatically and they may charge you for services by mistake and have to refund later.
General comments?
Excellent car for both city and open road.
Great acceleration and power for motorway driving.
Easy to park with small turning circle.
CD player now fitted as standard a real bonus.
