Mooses VW 411 - 1998 Volkswagen New Beetle
By Knoxville Moose - March 2 - 10:00 amIve had an amazing experience in the 98 Beetle. Its my first car and is an excellent option for the teenage driver. Its incredibly safe! After being rear ended in a nasty collision that left a Stanza totalled, both passengers in my car walked away without a scratch. The car took quite a hit and was driveable; however, it is especially hard to repair because of the build of the car and its low level. The Beetle has rarely failed me or even let me down in the least. Its fun, its safe, its reliable, and it gets the attention of the opposite sex;)

Love it even with problems - 1998 Volkswagen New Beetle
By Monifa - February 15 - 2:00 amLove the car. Had a bunch of electrical problems with the door windows and trunk. Very expensive repairs. I had a accident in it and was extremely safe. The accident could have been deadly in another car. Fun to drive, great handling. Dream car forever!

Awsome Car! - 1998 Volkswagen New Beetle
By The pocket rocket - January 15 - 11:46 amMy mom bought my 1998 Bug a few years ago. She bought it used and fell in love with it as sonn as she drove it. It is awsome. She has now sold it to me and has gone and bought a 2002 (used) turbo sport. We call it the pocket rocket becuase it is so fast and fun to drive. We have five VWs (2 Bugs, a Golf, Jetta, and a Eurovan) and we love them all. They sometimes have small problems, but never anything bad. We will buy VW probably for the rest of our lives.

No Major Complaints - 1998 Volkswagen New Beetle
By Derek71 - December 7 - 10:00 amConsidering my experience with VW as well as that of friends who own one, Im not so sure Id buy another. I say this because it depends heavily on the individual car you get. I have had almost no trouble with my Beetle which is rapidly approaching the 6 year mark. My complaints are limited to minor frustrations. The lightbulbs burn out rather frequently and cost $75 to replace. You try getting at them yourself. Also, the tapedeck is junk. Even when you use CD or AM/FM the tapedeck decides to engage and tell you "No Tape". Yeah, thanks for the update. I replaced the automatic window switches myself ($40 part + a screwdriver to pop it off).

My Love Bug! - 1998 Volkswagen New Beetle
By funnymermaid - October 9 - 11:19 amIve got around 80,000 miles on it. I bought it approx 5 yrs ago, when it had 50,000 miles, from my elderly Mom. Weve both took great care of it, kept it maintained. Ive had very few problems, just regular normal problems. Ive just now had to replace the AC compressor due to small leak, only $400! I still love, love, love my Bug!
