  Volkswagon New Beetle - 2000 Volkswagen New Beetle
  By jamiebug04 - September 22 - 2:00 am

  I love driving my Bug, however I have had many problems with the electrical system..The windows have been fixed 5 times, the gas door has been fixed once, the Oxygen Sensors have been fixed twice, the trunk wont open with the electric switches, and the CD player wont work. However, I have had no problems with the engine. I would not recommend others to buy this car because of the annoyances of the problems.

  Over Priced Niche Car - 2000 Volkswagen New Beetle
  By fuscia - September 11 - 11:50 am

  bought used in 2002, Im so disappointed. Ive literally watched my car disintegrate around me. Im a fastidious car owner and keep my cars clean. Ive had electrical issues, the interior has been disintegrating since the day I bought it used. The window switches break, the weird rubber dash coating scratches easily, the vinyl interior is coming away from the door, hatchback wont close properly,fog light bracket broke,water pump melted, the suspensions shot after 7 yrs normal driving, speakers are starting to crackle after normal volume levels, the emergency brake rusted thru within 3 yrs,the brakes stick and wear the pads down. The car is meant to be looked at not driven on a daily basis

  Poor Electrical System - 2000 Volkswagen New Beetle
  By Duder - September 2 - 4:50 pm

  We purchased our 2000 Volkswagen Beetle new in November 1999 and traded it in today because we need to make room for our new baby. All in all I would say that owning this car was a positive experience and I would be happy to continue driving it if we didnt need more room. Our biggest complaint is the electrical system. We had to replace the mass air flow sensor at least once per year and the trouble lights on the dash would come on and turn off for no reason. The cost of unscheduled yearly maintenece was high, at least $800 per year. We did not consider another VW because of the electrical problems. Were gonna miss you little buggy. We all had some great times together and I loved smokin those Hondas just as much as you did! Sorry bout all the curbs.

  Great engine - 2000 Volkswagen New Beetle
  By greg2877 - June 6 - 8:56 pm

  I gave this little car 4 stars for the engine only. It is very sound and will last forever, if you keep up with the regular oil changes. I bough the car 2 years ago, and had to do zero repairs for the engine. The inside is a different story. The only thing solid for the car is the engine and the steering wheel. A lot of the inside is made of plastic and actually, under the hood, a little tongue comes out to open the hood, and that broke off, so now I have to magician my way to open it. Its tricky but can be done. The inside is breaking. The sunroof,door handles, locks, and glovebox. I would say, the inside would cost me around $1000 to get fixed. If I do the work myself.

  Good transportation - 2000 Volkswagen New Beetle
  By adermard - May 11 - 2:00 am

  Good car. Two major components needed to be replaced (clutch and cruise control) but otherwise mostly minor things have broken. Its small, fun to drive, holds things alright with the seat folded down. Comfortable on the highway and gets an unbelievable 44+ mpg at 90mph, 49 at normal speeds. Enough power, it feels equally as fast as a standard beetle. Interior is funky, you either like it or you dont. Everything was easily replaired but this is the list of things that have broken: mirror adjuster broke off, window switches, center console latch, the drivers window (warranty)

  My Blue Bug - 2000 Volkswagen New Beetle
  By DustyJones - March 22 - 10:00 am

  A lot of bang for the buck. I am a 6 foot, 240 lb male and have to say that the bug is the most comfortable and roomy car in its class. Theres plenty of head and leg room up front. This is the most enjoyable aspect of my experience thus far, but dont think for a minute that it ends there. The car has been extremely reliable and Ive found it quite a blast to drive. The 5 speed manual transmission has plenty of pep and is quite comfortable cruising at 90mph.
