Reviewing: 2002 Used Volkswagen Beetle GL

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
Cons — Blind spots

For some reason, it has its good days and bad days.  Braking still is amazing, handles like a beauty.

Build quality, have had a few things go wrong. Various electrical problems.

Appearance, black exterior, black leather/ cream custom interior

Cost, easy on gas, very easy to maintain...so long as its not an electrical problem

Fun factor.  my personal road legal go cart

Pros — very safe, handles like a dream
Cons — few too many bugs

Reviewing: 2002 Used Volkswagen Beetle Turbo S

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

180hp with a twin turbo engine for a 1,800 kg car. This is the better power/weight ratio than most Porsches.

Pros — nobody suspects a thing
Cons — everybody wants to race you once you start moving

Reviewing: 2002 Used Volkswagen Beetle GLS TDi

Its simple a Golf for people who want to be different. Practicality wise, there is no rear headroom for adults, the boot is tiny too, access to the engine is tight, even topping up the oil is a challenge.... On the upside the TDi engine is amazingly economical & is suprisingly fast & handling is spot on. Also a very safe car to crash in. Fellas, girls love it, but men might think your gay...lol.. All in all a bit disapointing, I wont be getting another.

Pros — Economy, reliability, strength, style?
Cons — style? completely impractical.
