Beauty! - 2000 Volkswagen New Beetle
By Leonine - June 8 - 10:00 amRead the other reviews, problem is crappy dealers not the car. They should be able to have them fixed the first time or so. Mines been very reliable since 1999, only a few minor glitches. Would I buy another? I am. Two New Beetles. Love em!

Power Buggy - 2000 Volkswagen New Beetle
By Gunnerdd972 - January 2 - 10:00 amPurchased 00 Red Beetle w/ manual at 39,000 miles. I checked the car out on Carfax, and the cars history came up clean, and no major defects. Ive had the car over a year, and still no problems. Gas mileage is a huge factor in this car alone, plus overall exterior and interior perks such as heated seats and leather. Dependability and longativity of the vehicles engine was also in the back of my mind before purchase. No matter which make or model you buy now days. Some tend to be more dependable than others, its like playing Russian Roulette. I highly reccomend the New Diesel Beetle for gas mileage and power.

I love this car - 2000 Volkswagen New Beetle
By I Love my Beetle - October 12 - 6:53 pmSince I got this car, there was only one problem with it and it was EZ Lubes fault. Took it there for an oil change and the next day oil was on my driveway. I recommend getting a Beetle. Its one of best cars I ever had and I think its really reliable. All these other people who had problems with it probably didnt really take good care of their Beetles. My Honda Civic had more problems than this car.

Most fun Ive ever had - 2000 Volkswagen New Beetle
By prettygood - September 2 - 10:00 amI wasnt looking to buy a Beetle when I was shopping for a car. But after buying one, I dont know if I can go back. The engine is amazing, the interior is very comfortable (the heated seats are a must, and the overall interior look is addictive. Strangers smile and wave at you just because of the car. Most people would not consider a bug because of the looks, but everyone I know has become a fan of my car.

Life in a Bug - 2000 Volkswagen New Beetle
By kgirl - August 28 - 10:00 amMy bug is a problem free vehicle as long as I perform all of the maintenance exactly on time. It knows when something is late and will then cause problems. Local repair places wont deal with it however. www.newbeetle.org has a very active community that has taught me much about the car. I also have a Vag-com from Ross-Tech Industries to read my cars computer and save trips to the dealer.

Bug delite - 2000 Volkswagen New Beetle
By michael99 - April 16 - 10:00 amThis car is so cute. i wanted to sleep in it the first week we got it. Early on week took a 1,000 mile road trip. It was wonderful. I was surprised how little road noise there was. The car is now over three years old. It works perfectly. I have moved to a hilly area and would prefer a little more tourque in the higher gears. The body has held up well. The interior has done well but then I had the seats covered from the beginning. Overall, it is a fun car. It still competes well with the new models. I will probably keep it another 4 years (50,000) miles before buying another VW. PS This is our 4th VW.

Very glad I bought it, so sorry that someone else totaled it. - 2000 Volkswagen New Beetle
By mpls5 - January 26 - 4:48 amThis was my first new car, every other car I ever had, including a 1974 superbeetle convertible, started at over 100,000. I had some small problems the first 5 years. No problems the next 5. Drove pretty rough the last 2, but probably mostly my fault. :) I really wanted to get the car to 200,000-probably would have if a 21 year old hadnt sideswiped into me at 75 mph, sending me spinning across three lanes of interstate and into a cement barrier. Car dented on 3 sides on the outside, none on inside. Airbag didnt deploy and didnt need too, though I did get sore. Very safe car. Handled a lot of less than ideal conditions- well, including spending over 10 yrs in MN, only 1 yr of it garaged.

Buy one - 2000 Volkswagen New Beetle
By vw man - January 16 - 1:43 amThis car is cool! The punch from the low-revving high torque engine is great down low, but when the turbo kicks in it has even more power. The power is great, the build quality is amazing, pictures dont do it justice. Everything is nicely made and nothing creaks or rattles, it is solid and tight to the road. It drives like a Porsche until you hit a bump at which point it turns into a Bentley and you dont feel it. This car oozes with engineering perfection. The amazing thing is on a 150 mile trip I got 43 mpg and thats not just highway. What a car - its balanced in every way. Buy this car!!

Fun & reliable - 2000 Volkswagen New Beetle
By Jenny - November 29 - 1:03 amI bought the beetle new in 2000. I was looking for a small car with good mileage. The diesel version I drive gets nearly 50 mpg on the highway - love that! Safety was really important to me as Id be driving my kids around town. The beetle has great safety ratings. What I didnt expect was how fun to drive this car would be. It is solid, hugs the road, and is super aerodynamic (I dont know what the last reviewer experienced but my beetle never even flinches in windy weather). Also, it has a great little sound system with a 6 CD changer - load it up, fill the tank, and your good for 500 miles. 150,000 miles and no major problems with this car.
