| “2002 New Beetle Gls - Slugbug Awesomeness” By: Mirada_12
This is probably the most fun car I've ever had. While the 2.sl0 engine isn't the peppiest without a turbo, it certainly can get up and go when it needs to. The best thing - it is so incredibly roomy for the driver and passenger.
Pros:
Color, Comfort
Cons:
No turbo in this model

2002 Used Volkswagen Beetle GLS 2.0 Review
By: Michael5592
It's a lot of fun and had some great options... sunroof, heated seats, etc. Lots of great memories in this car as well. The one problem for sure is that there isn't a cd player available as well as it's expensive to fix!!
Pros:
They're actually a lot sportier than you would think!
Cons:
no CD player available!!

| “New Beetle Sport, Still Fun After Six Years And Counting.”
2002 Used Volkswagen Beetle Sport Review
By: PJChilds
In the fall of 2002 I decided to downsize from my Lincoln MkVIII. I was really looking for a Subaru WRX when I spotted my Reflex Silver New Beetle Sport on the lot. The Sport model features the 150 HP version of the 1.8T (Volkswagen/Audi) engine and is absolutely loaded with all the options (except auto trans) and has unique 17 inch wheels which feature body-color trim inserts. This car is very much what you could call a "sleeper" because on the road the only outward sign of performance potential is the automatic rear spoiler, which pops up at over 45 mph. A peak under the fuel cap will show two recommended tire pressure ranges, for sustained speeds of less than 100 mph and over 100 mph. I had considered trading up to the 170 hp Turbo model, or the more powerful Audi TT, but have found for $1,400 and about six hours of greasy fingers and busted knuckles I can upgrade the turbo and re-flash the ROM to end up with about 270 hp. I would also recommend putting on a set of Bridgestone RE 960 AS tires. They're awesome in all kinds of weather.
Pros:
Fun to drive, great seats, great brakes, lots and lots of highway go power. Gets lots of compliments after six years.
Cons:
Mileage could be better (it's a turbo thing), poor design causes the driver seat to wear out on the outside edge, car washes can be mean to the silver wheel paint.

2002 Used Volkswagen Beetle GL Review
By: Magdalena14
I absolutely love my little car except for the electrical problems I had with it in the beginning. Nothing warranty can't fix though :) It's absolutely beautiful inside and out and very roomy insisde although it doesn't look like it. It is a blast to drive. The gas mileage is great and the maintenance is not too bad considering it is a German vehicle.
Pros:
fun, cute, cheap on gas!
Cons:
recall issues and electrical

You cant mistaken the New Beetle for any other car on the road. 6 Speed, 180hp, two tone leather seats, 17" delta X alloy rims that dont come on any other model VW. Unique front and rear bumper and a rear spoiler that goes up at 45mph and down again when you stop.
Pros:
6 speed, fast

Blind spots

| “Great Local Driver”
2002 Used Volkswagen Beetle Turbo S Review
By: Andrew7563
Great performance on the street, lacks all the high end power you want for highway driving. Impractical for any long period of time. Overall, great car for the money, blows away all the others in its class in the sprint.
Pros:
Lots of power in the low end
Cons:
Impractical
