Review 1 of 2

Price Paid:  $19000.00 from Sonnen Volkswagen

Year / Model Reviewed:
2007 New Beetle

Summary:
I absolutely love my new beetle! It's Gecko Green with tan leather! Previously I had a 1999 Toyota Corolla. Extremely reliable but, the beetle is so fun to drive and I feel extremely safe. The doors are heavy and the long dash makes you feel very safe. I love the pep and Sport mode (which I call Super Beetle mode). I've taken this car on two road trips: Las Vegas and LA and was very happy with the engine performance and comfortability. I highly recommend the beetle!

Strengths:
Engine is quick to respond and breaks are sturdy. I love the sunroof, sounds system, iPod jack, and overall design. While the trunk is small, I am able to fit much more than I thought. Overall, I love the look, drive and safety.

Weaknesses:
The trunk release button has acted up and I have to press the button twice. The dealer will adjust free of charge.

Review 2 of 2

Price Paid:  $0.00 from Volkwagon dealership

Year / Model Reviewed:
2007 NewBeetle

Summary:
I am seriously looking into buying a Volkwagon beetle and I test drove it and it was wonderful. I have a close friend who owns one, she bought it brand new, it's great. She's never had a problem. I will say I've read great reviews on the car. The only concern I have is when something does break down with it, i was told they are very expensive to fix, can anyone tell me if this is true?

I also would like to say that I went to Carmax and had HORRIBLE customer service, they wouldn't even let me test drive without first running my credit to see if I was preapproved. Where has anyone ever gone and they wouldn't allow a simple test drive?

Also... for the person who bought a NewBeetle from Carmax, your problem is Carmax, I've heard that from at least 5 friends of mine who went and purchased a car from them. I am refering to different models, such as a Jetta, Honda, Beetle, and another Honda. It's Carmax, don't believe a word about the inspection crap they advertise and what they call "customer service". Trust me... they suck.

Strengths:
Volkswagen NewBeetle has more room than you think before you drive it. It's a smooth comfortable ride. The engine sounds great.

Weaknesses:
I would like to see it have more trunk space but it was decent. As I said before, I would like to know about repair costs and is it worth it when it is brand new and has a warranty? Anyone comment please?
