VW Beetle in general Reviews

I am lucky enough to have an old Beetle and a new Beetle and think they are the coolest cars around. Stupidly a few months back I decided to sell my newbie and buy a corsa as I was clocking up more miles than I would have liked. What a mistake... I missed Widdle (Cyber green Beetle) from the moment I dropped him at the garage and have spent the ...

This was a spontaneous purchase - I'd actually walked into our local VW Dealer to buy a Polo which was on special offer. Whilst talking to the salesman, he asked if I'd be interested in a New Beetle as he had a few pre-registered cars which were unused and, in effect, brand new. I'd noticed them on the roads and had always admired them but I'd ...

Yes, the Bug is back, and better than ever! ------------------------------------------- There are times in your live, when against your better sense and financial abilities, you suddenly realise that you cannot spend one more day living without a new toy. I experienced this hellish sensation about 1 year ago when I first met the New ...

It is my goal in life to own a VW Beetle. In fact it is my goal in life to own at least two (both at the same time if I can afford!), an old one and a new one. They are the snazziest, coolest, funkiest little, well, littlish, cars in the world. I know people say there's nowt like the original, and true, it may not have exactly the ...

I don't own it, but WANT IT! It is so lovely, and I'm not really bothered about cars on the whole! - Advantages: Gorgous Green Colour, Lovely Shape and look to the car, THE BEST LOOKING CAR ABOUT - Disadvantages: expensive as new

I have a very battered Mexican left hand drive "old style" beetle that I am totally in love with. It is a "new" B reg. so dates back to good old 1984. He is called Bertie, well El Bertie for his full title,I have had him for the past 10 years and cannot wait to be able to afford to bring it back to the pristine condition it ...

All my respect is given to the new VW Beetle! As I live in Cornwall where all the mellow surfers live the old rust bucket beetles are very common, but I don't see so many new ones.They are the nicest thing ever. I am determined to own one of those beasts. It is like a bubble car and is rounded off and looks smart! If any one was stinking rich ...

Ok. I first saw this car, and I fell in love with it. It's one of the best shape car's Volkswagen has EVER brought out. And not to mention, such a better shape than the old style beetle. Don't get me wrong, that'll always be a classic. But, this is so gorgeous. If you have the money, this is one car to buy. However, I would say personally ...

I fell in love with the new model Beetle the first time I saw it....its a very endearing shape with a 'smiley' front end. Its a fun car with a few unusual additions such as a mini vase for a flower next to the steering wheel and numerous drink holders. In particular, one of the great features on this car is the boot ...

Just want to say congrats to VW. They have done an excellent job with the new VW Beetle. They have capture all of what made the original Beetle such a success and updated it to modern day standards. I also commend VW on their handling of the aftermarket garages for the Beetle. They should teach BMW how it is done. Thanks to VW for not bullying the ...

I have to say that I completely agree with the good Iain Massey. The Beetle is totally C.R.A.P! Does the Dome have a family of dwarfs? He says he can fit a family of 5 in the thing. It would appear to me, that anyone with a family of 5 would be better off with, to pick a couple of examples at random, a 90bhp TDi Golf (se) or a 1.8 20V Turbo ...

I feel that the all new VW beetle has done its predacessor more harm than good. It appears to me that VW reckoned that it would sell no matter what engine they put in it. O.K. the old one was not a rally machine but when they can produce a 2.8 , V6 engine which develops 204bhp.it seems to me that they held back a bit on a 2.0l 115bhp. engine which ...

My first car was a Beetle, so when I got the chance to use one of the new models in conjunction with my job I jumped at the chance. I was presented with a sort of mint green model which brought about a lot of envious stares from my colleagues. From the outside it looked so stylish, I couldn't wait to have it all to myself. I started ...

The new Beetle is a head-turner. Every where I drove I attracted attention from all ages and sexes. This is not a car for shy people. VW have not let their standards drop. The car drives beautifully, is nippy and handles corners without any problem. The only problem some people may have is that the shape of the car means you cannot see ...

A fun, frivolous and, to some extent, practical car. If you want a car that will bring a smile to your face within 5 minutes of getting into the driving seat every time you drive then the New Beetle is for you. Engine is lively and responsive although the ride is a little too wallowing especially on 'B' roads. Suspension ...

The Beetle would not have been in existence if it had not been for Adolph Hitler. It was the concept of Ferdinand Porsche in 1934, but produced in Germany as a peoples car. So why has it become such a cult? We bought a Beetle in 1973. In this year 1.3 million Beetles were produced. We loved our Beetle. But I,m not sure why? It ...

I think that the new beetle is a great car. My father has owned one since they were first introduced in Britain. Although many of the looks of the ‘Original’ Beetle have been lost the car still remains an absolute stunner to all. It has to be one of the best looking economical cars ever made, the styling inside is great, but ...

My first impresion when i saw this car was, wow. IT looked very strange! The whole body looked very chunky and cool! The tyres werr covered with these great rounded rimes that gve the car an almost toy look! The car is going to apeal to the younger market, but older people and those who dont like to show off as much may be scared of even taking it ...

After deciding to hire a car for the day I could not resit when i was offered a 2litre injection w reg beetle by the hire company. The amazing feeling of space inside is incredible and the long windscreen takes a while to get use to. With heated seats, ajustable steering, air conditioning and even a flower pot this beast has everything a girl ...
