this is a head turner, looks like porsche. it has a much softer ride than a porshe and it handles the road close to one. has plenty of power up winding hills i drove it up 3,000ft. mountain in drive and it never hesitated in the climb.it also has real good stoping power from its 4 disc brakes. awsome sound system

Critical Review
I bought my VW Beetle 2012 three months ago. Driving off the forecourt I mentioned the window wasn't working properly. I was told it just needed to be reset. Well, not one day has gone by when it hasn't needed to be reset. The tachometer was frozen, and 46 psi in each tire had somehow been overlooked in their haste to sell me this car! I suspect that the speedometer is also malfunctioning. The mileage is also very poor. I love Beetles - my first and second car was a Beetle. I didn't like the 1st re-design and I waited years until I saw this model. I fell in love with the retro look immediately but I've been hugely let-down, by all involved sales/service staff. I want to give them back my car. I just don't want it any more! We keep being told that our concerns are being "escalated" but no one with any authority phones us back as promised - and we end up again with someone who can't arrange for the car to be returned. The men at the top just don't want to know it seems! (So far the tachometer is the only thing that's been fixed.) When I pay $20,000+ for a car I don't expect it to start spending days at the dealership from the very beginning!

i maintained this since new stays undercover drives once a month for 10 miles or less for lubrication purpose then back into garage undercover only has been washed 4 times replaced tires after 5000 replaced battery 3 years ago this car is like new never a problem we are over 70 time to let someone else take care of it first offer over 20k and it could be yours no dealers, this one is special!
This was by far one of the coolest cars I've owned. It was also the newest, lowest milage vehicle I ever purchased and somehow it was the least reliable I've owned. Frequent fuel pump problems (among others), I was at the dealership or mechanics at least once per quarter. I was relieved when it was totaled.
My car is mechanical good. Interiio has few stains no tears in cloth seats. Tinted windows. Does need cleaning. All 4 bumpers need to be replaced. A new paint job. Drives perfect only 110,000m
Fun to drive
Comfortable for 2 adults

Not correct well maintained you do not hear engine
Beetle sel convertible white dark brown top shipped from Jacksonville FL to Hollywood Gunther VW did not have this model color.My first Beetle was a middle model I just wanted top of the line My error.We leased it as our fun car which it is. There are no negatives it is as far as cars go great, handles well accelerates well and surprises others by its performance. Yes I traded a BMW Z-4 in for my first Beetle which I will be returning to as I am a sports car two seater guy. VW should never get rid of the Icon that made VW what it is today.long live the Beetle even as an electric car. Arnie

The Best Ever. My wildest expectations. Relived my younger. Years. I would buy a new one again. If still made them.
Never have had a problem with it. Good gas mileage. Totes adorbs. Only thing I would change is more advanced technology within the car!
