  New Beetle 2000 - 2000 Volkswagen New Beetle
  By Peoria - October 9 - 10:00 am

  Ive had no serious problems with the vehicle, very satisfied. Great: value, ride, performance, comfort & reliability. Surprising versatility with hatchback design - carried lots of stuff that looked like it wouldnt fit. Only nuisance problem has been the oxygen sensors - hopefully rectified with the recent recall & repair.

  By Cara_14 - June 25 - 10:00 am

  i really enjoy this car, its fun to drive and really cute. Although i did have minor problems , sensors, the a/c smells horrable, drinks a lot of gas, peeling inside the car...all cars have minor problems unless u catch a lemonthen ur screwed, but overall it drives well.

  The wonders of diesel! - 2000 Volkswagen New Beetle
  By MD - March 4 - 10:00 am

  Have had this car for 2 1/2 years with only normal maintanance. No issues and a fun car to drive. Still love the retro-design. Im 63" and feel like Im in a cavern. First car Ive ever had where I CANT drive it with the seat all the way back.

  Miles of Smiles - 2000 Volkswagen New Beetle
  By Hairyb - February 2 - 10:00 am

  1 sevice issue resolved under warranty. I smile everytime I look at this car and little kids smile as well. With an automatic transmission I usually get 40 MPG. Big people fit in the front but not the back. No cold weather starting probems.

  I love my beetle - 2000 Volkswagen New Beetle
  By cabstewart - January 27 - 10:00 am

  I have had my beetle since Aug. 2000 - new. I have had less problems with it than we had on our Honda Odessy van. In fact we have had no real repair problems with the car. This car is fun to drive and gets pretty good mileage on the highway (30 mpg -gas engine). I agree with the reviewer who mentioned the interior door handles peeling, but other than that, it has been a keeper.

  Great little car - 2000 Volkswagen New Beetle
  By Bob Kunkel - January 24 - 2:30 am

  I was looking at hybrids, but after seeing the actual mileage, I went with a used Turbo Diesel Beetle. It gets great mileage and is a good, comfortable, and stable vehicle at home, in the city, and on the highway. At 70 mph it tracks straight, and is very stable. Its gas mileage on the highway is 53 mpg, and in town combined has never been less than 41 mpg. If it was only city driving it would be less, but I have never been a strictly city driver. All in all, this is a well done car.

  So you want to know about reliability? - 2000 Volkswagen New Beetle
  By Sam - December 25 - 8:10 am

  I bought this car in 2004 with around 50,000 km on it. I wanted a TDI and was not disappointed. Averaging close to 60,000 km a year I no have over 400,000 Km on the car and it runs like clockwork. The TDI is the best invention yet. Reliable, efficient and relatively quiet. I get consistent 55- 60 mph in my 75 hwy and 25 city driving. I laugh when people talk about reliability when they drive a car for a few thousand km. Vw is quality and I have the km to prove it. I cant wait to purchase another TDI from Volkswagen. My hope is a new TDI tiguan as soon as we get them. Best car I ever owned.

  Great Car, who needs a hybrid - 2000 Volkswagen New Beetle
  By AJM - October 8 - 2:10 am

  I was surprised by the features and how solid the car is. We have gotten over 50 mpg on the highway but mostly see 44 overall avg. The TDI powerplant runs well in the WI winters and offers power that few gas engines can offer. I purchased used for under 10 grand with heated leather seats, sunroof, 6 disk, 5 speed, alloys, etc. Why waste money on a hybrid - TDI is a "green" alternative.
