Small engine, but it's fun to drive. It's a manual transmission, so that's always good. I haven't had any problems with the tranny. The stock brakes suck, but that can easily be fixed. Mine is red with some mirrored side trim and a spoiler. Overall, I think it's a good car, good maker, and it's fun factor is definatley up there, not to mention, it's good on gas!

Pros — Good Fun Factor
Cons — Not a racer...

I bought this car after owning a 92 Honda Civic Hatchback. I was so stoked when I was approved for the loan and test drove it. When I got it home, I had a few issues within the first week. After I spoke with a few other Bug owners, I realize that these cars are not all that. I will have it paid off in a few months,,,, I think I will go back to a Honda :)

Pros — Its cute and blue and roomie inside
Cons — Repairs are high dollar

Bought car recently and have spent a lot of time trying to get it in good shape. The car drives fine but seems to be geared a little on the low side. It is a 5 speed and the gear ratios just dont seem right a little to narrow at the low end and not tall enough in 5th
