No speed without a tune up action...

Classic And Fun — Tested a couple of ovals and super beetles. They run great and fairly easy to work on, all that’s needed is a proper toolbox. Cheap trims and parts given that there are so many of them today. Negatives might be fuel consumption, heating, safety (fuel tank up front) and that they are rather unpredictable in higher speeds.

#1 Of The Compact Cars — Bdunk Bdunk Bdunk is all you here when my Beetle goes by. Though a bit slow, it gets me from point a to point b. Its lively and fun, but uncomfy. Amazing gas mileage, cute, and reliable as the sun, this is a classic. Plus, there not to hard to find, considering they made 22,000,000 of them!

Primary Use: Commuting to work

Good — Good car. Reliable as any new car. Not very luxurious. A bit on the slow side, but fast enough for the interstate. It was very affordable. Very fun, beats my old Geo by a longshot. I love it, and I bet the 19,999,999 other beetle owners in the world love it too.

Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.)

It's A Pretty Stock Car Performance Wise, But It Looks Real Cool And The Chicks Dig It. — Pearl white with chrome trim, lowered onto 5 spoke California style wheels, fabric sunroof, and with Red, White and Blue racing stripes.

A Fun Little Car To Play In! By sunflowergal

This car is great for a single person or couple but the back seat will not accommodate a car seat and growing toddler. The car is not made to carry any cargo. It would be perfect for a second car! Read More

This Has Been A Great Car To Drive By NanasCar

The heated seats are awesome and the security system is wonderful. Really good tires. Love the car. I'd say the only negative would be getting into the back seat... it's kind of hard for adults... b... Read More

Little Fun Bug By Eliana_U2

Being a small car it's very comfortable on the front seats, it's a good quality product and reliable, service is a little pricy. I love the style of the car but one thing... It's too feminine. Handlin... Read More
