ho wouldn't love driving Herbie!!!  He's cute, excellent handling, acceleration, braking and general performance, built to last (we're at 74,000 and going great), cute appearance (great space pod), wonderful gas milage (average 38 on trips and 28-30 in town), has been a low maintenance vehicle (other than oil changes and a few bulbs (which I've learned to change myself) cos of ownership has been low, and on a scale of 1-10 fun factor is a 15!!!!!

Pros: Cute, great gas mileage, great performance, and really fun to drive
Cons: none

Exciting and fun car to own and drive, looks fantastic with the top down! Performance is not bad, with good pick up on the 2L 8V engine which used to power the older generation Golf GTi. Interior is pretty simple and functional, except that huge long dashboard, not too friendly for Spore car market as I need to stretch to reach my IU for my cashcard, trick is to keep separate cashcard for manual parking. Definitely a good-looker on the road, not very common, and if you are into seeking a second glance from other road users, this car will do the trick nicely. Practicality is pretty much on the low side, tighter rear legroom due to additional safety feature in the rear, and a relatively almost useless trunk space! Solidly built soft-top, windnoise hardly intrusive when driving top-up even at highspeed cruising up to 120km/h, and body is solidly built without the common body jerk, as compared to Peugeots and Renaults CCs. Swaped my original VW 16" grandma rims for a set of sporty 17" wheels, while ride quality suffers a bit but sure looks much better! Suspension a bit on the softer side, but not too bad for a heavy car. Gas consumption is a bit on the less economical side, at approximately 390km per approximatelly 50L full tank, mixed city/ expressways driving, usually lasts me for a week. Probably will keep this for a while before I decide on a new convertible... maybe the Volvo C70, Audi A4 Convertible or BMW 6-series convertible.

Pros: Excellent looks and lifestyle purchase
Cons: Impractical unless you are really single

We bought it pre-certified from the VW dealer in 2005. This convertible is the biggest piece of **** we have ever had. We have spent THOUDSANDS of dollars fixing this car. Now that the warranty ran out we need to pay 1600 for an ignition coil (car loses power and stalls out in the middle of intersections) and the back two windows are stuck in the down position. Please sell this calr asap if you have it!  

Pros: Pretty car
Cons: falls apart like a child's toy

this is 1 cool car to drive get attention from everyone they all look specially if your a guy driving it.
others come and go but this remains it never gets old if you pull up outside Monte Carlo in a 3 years old Mercedes it shows your poor but if you do same with a 10 years old Beetle it shows your style and character.
i recommend this car to everyone. it is built to last just like a German U-Boat and its solid like Panzar Tank what mroe can i say

Pros: fantastic amazeing sexy
Cons: none

I love my car. It is very easy to use and I feel comfortable driving it. The only problem I have had
with it was that the rear light is constantly popping
out and it does not have a fast enough pick up, if you
try gunning it when your in a problem, its very scary.
Rarely ever fill it. But there is NO trunk space or space
for more than 2 passengers unless they are under the
age of 6!

Pros: Cute, good on gas
Cons: Rear light pops out, no trunk space and little space for more than 2 passengers

I love my car so much. It's so cute and i love that its small because its easy to park and its a great car to start on. It did have a couple problems with the trunk and the seat to get into the back when i first got it but i got it fixed while it was still under warranty, so all is good.

Pros: It's easy to park.
Cons: The backseats only fit two people.

This vehicle is the best car I have ever driver or owned. It is solid on the highway. Vehicle will stop on a dime without nosing down or swaying. Car corners beautifully, hugs the road. Handles very well on a windy highway and in the snow. Have never fishtailed in the snow or ice. This car has proven to be perfect in every aspect, in my opinion.... in addition to being cute and stylish

Pros: Visual appeal, especially with convertible  
+ Ride comfort  
+ Steering  
+ Performance of manual-shift diesel  
+ Resale value  
Cons: Performance of non-turbo convertible  
- Backseat space  
- Cargo space in convertible
