2001 Volkswagen Beetle

Pros: Everything.

Cons: Price. Armrest gets in the way. Easy to curb fender flare.

The Bottom Line: Great car, well worth the money. If all you care about is reliability, though, look elsewhere.

Review: I never thought that I'd end up owning a VW Beetle. After all, I thought that they were cars for washed up hippies and trendsters. Boy, was I wrong....

After my '99 Sentra was stolen (good...

Pros: Cute (no kidding!). Handles great. Humungous amount of room in the front seat. Solid.

Cons: I'll let you know!

The Bottom Line: I could be wrong, but I just bought one and am counting on at least 12 good years out of it. Don't forget the unbelievable cuteness factor!

Review: My first new car! So what if I am 48 years old? And what have we chosen? A funny-looking little bug that the young car salesman kept referring to as "nostalgic"! It's been a family joke of sorts that someday I would get my Volksie Beetle; now Our Day has...

Pros: Gas efficient, roomy, great features, nice looking, perfect!

Cons: Front seat cup holders hold cans only. 2001 models have tape decks.

The Bottom Line: Unique yet reliable.If your skeptical,take a test drive, plan on falling in love with it though. You won't come home without it!! It's a great ride.

Review: Well, as you might have caught on by my title, " I miss the buggy", I no longer have my beetle. I had a "2001" Volkswagen New beetle. I purchased it in "2003" with 52k miles on it for $10,250. We treaded it in for $10125.00. The beetle was silver ...

Pros: reliable, economical, roomy and fun!

Cons: lousy side view mirrors, tiny sun visors

The Bottom Line: Beauty is much more than skin deep. If you want a fun, economical and reliable car that bucks the econobox look, get a New Beetle.

Review: This is for all of you who would like a real world review of the New Beetle. I bought my dark blue 1999 NB in July of 1999 with 6 miles on the odo. GLS with auto, sunroof and tan leatherette (read vinyl). Added only mudflaps.

It has been...

Pros: Fun, zippy, and comfortable

Cons: small for families

The Bottom Line: Fun, Fun, and more fun. The bug will make you smile.

Review: Every time I get into my New Beetle I smile. I call her my "Happy car".

I have a 2001 GLS, techno blue with the leatherette interior, 5 disc CD changer, and winter package. When people ask me about her, which happens almost daily, I tell...

Pros: Cute, fun, economical, surprisingly roomy!

Cons: Cupholders, tiny backseat, tiny amount of trunk space

The Bottom Line: GET THIS CAR!

Review: Beetles are my dream cars. Forget BMWs, Mercedes and the like, the Beetle is it! I have wanted one of these cars since I was a little kid, and when the new models came out in '98, I thought I'd die before I ever got to drive one, much less own one! In ...

Pros: Styling, Excellent interior, Excellent handling, Powerful, Safe, Attracts attention

Cons: Only a 4-seater, small trunk, no standard CD player, Attracts attention

The Bottom Line: Economical - great gas mileage, low insurance rates, a BLAST to drive, loaded with standard features, solid build quality. Would definitely recommend!

Review: I always looked at the New Beetle and just laughed. Then I drove one. Unlike many Beetle owners, I'm a guy. I like guy stuff. I don't view the Beetle as a "Cute Car", but rather a finely tuned, well designed car that's just a BLAST to drive!
...

Pros: Cute car with great gas mileage and awesome ride!

Cons: The small backseat!

The Bottom Line: I would recommend this car through and through. After comparing endless cars before buying this one I have to say it's one of the best decisions I have ever made.

Review: When my former car came to the end of it's running life I decided to start looking for a new car with some pep in it. The search began with Hondas, Toyotas and Subarus. My attention slowly turned to Volkswagens, and I began to look at the Golf and the...

Pros: Superior handling, acceleration, comfort, dependable, and really fun to drive

Cons: cupholders are too short in the front, lack of side headroom in the back seat.

The Bottom Line: Farvergnugen! Fall in love again with a Volkswagen!

Review: I too never thought I would buy a new beetle--it was just all wrong to put the engine in the front! I had to replace my '96 Mustang GT because it was a real POS, so I went looking for a Jetta and the Blue Vortex 1.8L Turbo GLX caught my eye. The Beetle...

Pros: Cute! Handles smoothly, very responsive, economical, great gas mileage, large front seat!

Cons: None so far!

The Bottom Line: GREAT CAR! A great deal as a certified used car with a great warranty! Good car for a small family!

Review: We bought this car as a Volkswagon Certified Used Car. It is WONDERFUL! We really love it! We bought a 2001 New Beetle with about 20,000 miles on it in December of 2003. We had driven several models and makes, mostly Toyota. I had always wanted a VW ...
