2003 Volkswagen Beetle Review
ProsIt gets great gas mileage, which is very helpeful considering how high prices are these days! As I previously mentioned it has heated seats, which are awesome in the winter! There's more pros in the review! ConsIt can be a pain to make some repairs because it isn't built like a typical car.

A Very Fun Car To Drive! — This is the first car I've ever had and I love!! It's so much fun to drive! I have don't have a convertible but there is a sun roof. The front seats are heated so I have almost instant heat in the winter!! I am dork and I change the flowers in the vase according to the season! Beetles look small but a lot can fit in them! I can flatten the back seat so there's lots of storage room! Best of all I have a six disk CD changer, so I always have lots of songs available!! It's also great when it's hard to find a place to park because I can take that small space that everone else is afraid of not fitting in...well most of the time!!

2003 Volkswagen Beetle Turbo S Review
ProsIs Awesome ConsRead my Blurb

Beetle Turbo S — The Performance is really pretty awesome, it does very well on straight aways and up hill, down hill, and around tough curves. its wide stance seems to help a lot with balance. Build Quality- i have had to replace the door latch because it shorted out, but found everything I needed on VWvortex.com That site is a GodSend I had to replace the belly pans because I hit ice and it tore into my belt...it seems to be a Warm Weather Car, but still handles really well in the snow. The Appearance is really cute with the blinkers in the front like Freckles and when I replaces the headlights i could change light color in the blinkers there and just connect then to my funning lights. Anything that breaks is rather pricey but VW has Quality parts. Over all this is an awesome car and I wouldn't trade it for anything!! Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) | ||

Great For The Looks And Reputation, But Needs Some Final Touches — This car has been through quite a bit in the past few years...last year she got rear-ended, and we also had to replace the clutch after another minor collision. another wreck came around when she got T-boned by a ignorant college stucent. the headliner is falling apart and the glove box handle has been broken off by not realizing that the glove box was locked Primary Use: Family transportation | ||

2003 Turbo Review. — Good aceleration. Great breaking and handling. The only repairs it has need so far is 1 or 2 bulb replacements. I like the exterior color an I absolutley love the interior! It's so pretty. It goods good gas mileage although it does need 91 or higher octane rating in gas. It's super fun to drive. I love it! Good for short trips or long trips!

Prosfun, fast, and funky ConsIt's pretty little, which could also be a pro.

I Love It!!!! — Oh man. . . My 2003 Turbo S bug is my first car, but my mom has a new Mustang, and I know I'm a bit biased, but mine is so much better. It drives better, accelerates faster, and gets better gas mileage. It's bright blue so it's very easily distinguishable and looks fun and peppy. Which is my personality to a tee. And even though it's really not, the interior looks as if it were personalized just for my car. Which is absolutely awesome. The rear spoiler confused me to death at first, but once I read the owner's manual and found out what it was, I think it's cool and all of my friends are amazed :P They all want to ride with me everywhere I go. . . Which leads to the only problem--It doesn't hold quite enough people! Primary Use: Commuting to work | ||

Good On Gas, And Fun To Drive! — Ok at acceleration, fast once it speeds up. Transmission catches sometimes when trying to speed up from a slow speed too fast. The Cup holders SUCK!!!! The cream seats suck because they attract too many stains. Gas is great, and yes it's fun to drive!! :) Primary Use: Commuting to work | ||

Murdered Bug — love this car! i never thought a stock beetle would be this quick! when it's running right the ride is perfect!! this car is so fun to drive! gas mileage is great and you should just have to do the regular scheduled maintenance. i've had to repair it a couple times already! the water pump has gone out twice and i did a partial rebuild of the motor and at about 120 thousand miles i am replacing the clutch and flywheel! the interior and exterior are perfect and nothing beats the sound of my turbo winding up!!! |
