2001 Volkswagen Beetle GLS review from North America
"CRAYONS"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Door handles peel
EPC Light On
Noticeable reduced power and gas mileage when carrying passengers in the back or items in the trunk.
General comments?
Love the way it looks.
Love the way it runs.
Hate to have it serviced because I know it will cost a fortune.
No one locally will touch it to service it more affordably.
SMELLS LIKE CRAYONS for some reason and always has... no matter what!
Good car overall.
