Pros: Styling, Interior roominess, handling and stability (a bit choppy)Mileage, ease of driving, quality materials
Cons: Seat adjustment controls are too quirky, could use some chrome/rubber dress up along "running boards"
The Bottom Line: Newer diesels can run on biodiesel fuels which save money. They are cleaner than ever and very dependable.
Purchased July 31st after researching fuel efficient cars, we decided to give VW a try even though Consumer Reports consistently pans VW for below average reliability. This Bug came with the option one package including power 2 way sun roof and the ...

Pros: Power, Updated Styling, Option packages
Cons: 2.5L is a new engine
The Bottom Line: If you have been waiting to buy a Beetle or Mini Cooper this is a great new option. Lots of power and great price tag.

Pros: Great looks; quick; handles great; good gas mileage; very comfortable on trips. Snug, leakproof top.
Cons: Very small; really a two-passenger car in spite of four seats; trunk is a joke.
The Bottom Line: Buy this car if there's only two of you and you have the 25k and want a fun, fast bug that turns heads. Probably a collector's item down the road.
This is the third newer VW we have owned; we also had a 2002 Golf (great car!) and a 2001 Cabrio convert. And we've probably owned about a dozen old Beetles over the years. So we are quite familiar with VWs. This is one of the "funnest" cars we have ever ...

Pros: Great engine and power train, excellent economy and power
Cons: Rattles everywhere! Drives me nuts but I live with them.
The Bottom Line: They way fuel prices are the only way to stay ahead is to go far on a gallon of fuel. 40 mpg is hard to beat.
The car looks great from the outside. The inside is another matter. My car is plagued with rattles! It started with the sun roof. While in the tilt position the sun roof glass would start "clicking". I took it to the dealer 6 times to get it fixed, it ...
