• Cute yet classic styling, long list of standard features.

• Aged design, tight rear-seat accommodations, limited cargo room.

  Luv, luv, luv my dream car - 2007 Volkswagen New Beetle
  By jik - September 8 - 7:00 am

  4 of us carpool 1 way 30 min. Backseat ok for normal size. Gas mileage could be better but luv, luv my dream car. Someone is always commenting about it as I did for many years b4 I bought it. Coworkers are happy I finally bought it because they were probably tired of me talking about it for about 5 yrs. I dont have a garage, unfortunately, but it is great in the snow. Havent had any problems to date. Love to go riding on beautiful days with the top down.

  Would buy another - 2007 Volkswagen New Beetle
  By Kshobe - August 27 - 6:16 am

  I drove the car from Arizona to Mississippi and back. I got 24 to 30 MPG on the trip driving at an average speed of 75MPH on the interstate. I get 23 - 24 MPG driving around Phoenix on a daily basis. I love the torque. It is hard not to spin the tires from a full stop. I get some strange looks from the Mustang owners when that happens. I am 63" and have lots of head room but I had to remove the center arm rest to make room for my elbows. Now there is a big hole in the console but Im comfortable. The road noise is the one thing I wish was better. Thankfully Phoenix put rubberized asphalt on all the freeways. It is very fun to drive.

  LOVE MY BEETLE - 2007 Volkswagen New Beetle
  By khlv - June 7 - 1:50 am

  I traded in my Red 99 for my new Sunflower yellow (GREAT COLOR) 07. Talk about a GREAT deal! Great price, and they fixed all (but 1) of the features that bothered me in my old beetle. Cup holders were moved, both seats can be raised, and a LOT more power! that extra .5 in the engine REALLY makes a difference. SO FUN TO DRIVE!

  My second New Beetle not as good as the first - 2007 Volkswagen New Beetle
  By eliteboi - April 5 - 10:51 pm

  I previously owned a 2000 New Beetle 1.8T. That car was GREAT. It gave me very few problems, and it never left me stranded. One of the worse mistakes I have made. Ive had lots of stupid problems come up. I bought the car with 68k miles, and all service records. I had no warning and the water pump went out, at 68.5k. Replaced two wheel bearings, the tie rods, the door speaker. I could go on. I have had this car a little over a year. The best part was when the inner axle snapped getting off the highway. I think my car must be a lemon. It is getting harder and harder to justify keeping it. My car looks great, but it doesnt perform half as well as my 2000 did, which had twice the miles.

  Luv Bug - 2007 Volkswagen New Beetle
  By Bug Luver - March 18 - 1:23 pm

  Love my Bug I get so many compliments on my car. It is so much fun to drive and my husband who is 6 2" has plenty of room and is comfortable, it is my favorite car, the only improvement would be mpg, other than that the best car I have ever owned

  in love with my Beetle - 2007 Volkswagen New Beetle
  By birulo - September 10 - 3:42 am

  Bought this car new from the dealer and its given me a couple of problems but overall I dont regret the purchase. Its sole appearance makes me happy every time I look at it. I seriously love my car. My only complain is that the parts, oil changes and even the coolant are very expensive. To be objective, I have to mention that entering its 4th year (2011), little things here and there started to break down, for example the interior roof liner is coming loose on the edges, antenna broke when covered the car with an ordinary car cover and one of the windshield washers seems to be clogged. My compressor died this year too ($2000)... and the battery and the headlights but thats to be expected

  Pams Bug - 2007 Volkswagen New Beetle
  By Pamela Ross-Fogel - September 21 - 11:03 pm

  This is my favorite car that I have ever owned! I am 59 years old and love to drive this car! It is comfortable, easy to get in and out of, smooth in handling, has plenty roomy, and is just plain fun.

  Nice Ragtop - 2007 Volkswagen New Beetle
  By Kayemtee - August 4 - 10:13 am

  My wife chose this car to replace a Sebring convertible. Wanted a clutch again before we got too old. Performance is adequate at best; acceleration reminds me of my old bugs of my youth. Clutch is not as smooth as Japanese cars. Great head and leg room (Im six-two). Very quiet with top up at high speeds (much less wind noise than the Sebring). Heated seats (with five settings) are great! Gas mileage is poor (24 mpg) for a small car with a clutch with weak acceleration. Nice, solid build quality, pretty looking, but it is a chick car. Oil change is very expensive due to synthetic only and a non-standard filter. Trunk holds a lot but small opening. I like the car but glad we lease.

  First Time Beetle Owner - 2007 Volkswagen New Beetle
  By S.Horton - July 11 - 2:26 pm

  I have owned by Beetle for 7 months and have had no problems. I love this car. At first the look impressed me the most. I finally found a 5-speed, green model which was hard to come by. The way this car handles is great. It hugs the road and is the ultimate road-trip car. The fifth cylinder can really be felt on a steep incline and the cold-weather package has helped me through many a snowy morning! It handles in 6 inches of snow, no problem, and the sunroof makes the summer weather even better! If you are looking for a fun car with a low-maintenance feel and features then this is the car for you!
