  NEVER AGAIN!!!!! - 2000 Volkswagen New Beetle
  By Piperboi - January 24 - 10:00 am

  I had nothing but problems since day 1! The dealer had my car more than I did. I take very good care of my cars, this one just did not see to want to hang in there. my egnition coil, window swithches, brake light switch, temp gage, emergency brake handle, glove box lever, cooling system, power locks, moonroof/shade, and gage cluster all went bad or broke! To replace a headlight you have to go to the dealer!! ($50.00) Breaks are VERY expensive too! I will never own a VW product again! If you are in the market for a bug..THINK TWICE! DO NOT BUY! The warrenty is awful! even with an extra warrenty i bought, i put in $3000 more!

  survivor - 2000 Volkswagen New Beetle
  By whodafunk - January 16 - 2:00 am

  vw survived a pretty good broadside from a big old econoline. car needs lots of work, but, driver, me is still walking and wasnt squished like a bug in my beetle. i was a messenger/currier in this vehicle and drove it 12 hours a day, stop and go, harsh city driving, these cars are reliable and safe and fun.

  Electrical nightmare - 2000 Volkswagen New Beetle
  By bugdom - December 19 - 2:00 am

  Our Bug has driven well but constantly has warning indicators that go bad - first the airbag light and now the check engine light. The worst part is that every time the dealer fixed them, the problem recurred within 24 hours. Now we cannot pass the emissions testing simply because of this issue!

  A Real Gem - 2000 Volkswagen New Beetle
  By Fretbuzzer - December 5 - 2:00 am

  We bought our 2000 GLS used and have enjoyed it more than any other vehicle we have ever owned. It has been very reliable as well as fun to drive (a hard mix to find). We are taking her for her 40k service this week and havent spent a dime on maintenance that wasnt a regularly scheduled service. Would buy another VW bug anyday! Have had great service at Ed Murphy VW in Schaumburg, IL!

  Interior - 2000 Volkswagen New Beetle
  By Linda Petty - October 5 - 6:23 pm

  The material on the doors are lifting & coming unglued. Paint inside on door is bubbling. I am not real happy with this. I take very good care of my bug. I keep her in the garage & as I said I only have about 35000 miles on it.I plan on keeping my bug for as long as I can, but the inside is falling apart. Coastal VW will not do anything about it. Said it was wear & tear. In 5 years your car should NOT be falling apart on the inside.

  What a joke - 2000 Volkswagen New Beetle
  By Clown - September 22 - 10:00 am

  Loved it the day I bought it. But I know its going to leave me stranded. Obviously the warranty is only 2 years... cause these sexy cars are crap! Every 2000 kilometers with the 2.0L 5 Speed, I add half a litre of oil and yup, 3 dealers say thats normal. One dealer said it was because the pistons are oval and they change shape while they warm up. But the other 2 dealers didnt say that??? The interior door handles peel front and back (they recognize the problem but wont replace them all - just one by one). The fuel door solonoid sucks... carry a toolkit and oil. Do I ever miss my Honda Accord.

  FUN car...but..... - 2000 Volkswagen New Beetle
  By Irby - July 29 - 2:00 am

  Fun car to drive, has a lot of pep. but i will not be getting another Beetle. And after 2 years of ownership (we bought it brand new with hardly any miles on it) i am ready to give it up. mechanically it is sound...but for a 2 year old car lots of little things have gone wrong with it as soon as we drove it off the lot. The drivers side window we were told is a known problem with Beetles. Also al of the face plates on the interior are coming away and becoming loose. the rear hatch almost never releases on the 1st try...usually it takes 3-5 tries before it will release.

  Great car, some sloppy workmanship - 2000 Volkswagen New Beetle
  By Dr. Mac - May 31 - 10:00 am

  I love everything about this car except the driver side window controls and the plastic bits in the sunroof. Increase the quality to those items and this is a car for the ages.

  Dont buy a Beetle/Jetta - 2000 Volkswagen New Beetle
  By The Rocket - May 2 - 10:00 am

  Read all of the other reviews because I have had every one of their problems. This car might be German engineered for the awesome motor and styling but the Mexican build quality with Mickey Mouse switches aint worth a peso. Unfortunately the only thing on this car that hasnt failed is the Check Engine light...Its still glowing strong!
