Overview & Reviews

Volkswagen's New Beetle compact carries over into 2008 with just minor changes to trim level names and optional feature lists.

• Cute yet classic styling, lengthy standard equipment list.

• Aged design, so-so power, lack of rear-seat space and cargo room, subpar side-impact crash test results.

  Fun, Fun, Fun - 2008 Volkswagen New Beetle
  By Terrence - June 1 - 8:43 pm

  I shopped for a small car that was comfortable and has good visibility in all directions, VW won. This car looks small from the outside, not so when you get in. With tilt and telescopic steering wheel and three way adjustable seats, comfort comes easily, making entry and exit a breeze. Tiptronic is fun, the heated seats are hot, 6-disc CD changer/Sirius is cool, 17" low profile tires give it a great look. Lots of head room too. I got triple-white and love it. I threw out the flower holder.

  The Bestest Car Ever! - 2008 Volkswagen New Beetle
  By Lane,D - February 20 - 5:56 pm

  My mother went and bought this car for her Birthday and we have loved every cotton-pickin minute of having it. It gets pretty good gas mileage. You would think that a small car like the Beetle-bug would be really tiny in the backseat, but it is really comfortable.It is the best car that our family has ever had. I also think it is really cool to have a car that there are only 1,400 of in the whole United States.

  2008 New Beetle Fun To Drive - 2008 Volkswagen New Beetle
  By Stanley - February 4 - 9:23 pm

  I gave my 2004 Toyota Camry to my son and I purchased a Red Beetle with a Black top. I have owned my car for two months and I just love it. I shopped around for a convertible car that is fun to drive. The New Beetle is perfect. The gas mileage is not as good but is so much more fun to drive. My husband is a large guy over six feet tall. He has enough room in this car but back seats are for small children. He was not sure about a small car but he fell in love with it too. When I was sixteen my Dad had one of the old beetles they have made alot of improvements. Great job VW. People stop me all the time and tell me how much they like my car.

  Love my New Beetle! - 2008 Volkswagen New Beetle
  By Karen1963 - December 19 - 10:10 pm

  I wanted this car for a long time before my husband bought this one for me as a surprise Christmas gift in 2007. It is so easy to drive, and the seats are a good fit for me. I have the automatic, so the gas mileage isnt the best, but I really love the experience of driving it every day. This is the best car purchase we have ever had and I will likely own this car the rest of its life!

  A Slice of Heaven in every Ride - 2008 Volkswagen New Beetle
  By Ireland3 - June 22 - 9:50 pm

  I purchased the yellow SE in July and have been driving it everyday just smiling. The handling is great,and the seats are comfortable. I just love all the fun it is to simply go anywhere now in my new "Sunflower Yellow" bug. Gets tons of compliments and fits in the smallest spots. I updated mine with "daisy" steering wheel covers, flower vase, license plate, and seat covers for an even cuter look.
