Pros

SELLING IT.

Cons

YOU NAME IT.

Purchased As New

BE WARNED: This car is cute, but its problems aren't. Since buying this car, brand new:

the brakes were recalled;
the brake lights were recalled;
the thermostat experienced a fault;
the electrical system is faulty (some windows will go up and down/some won't);
the top louvres got stuck and the top broke them off;
the hydraulic arms that hold up the trunk broke;
the driver window is loose and rattles;
the cd player broke;
the gas mileage is awful; and last but not least
the heater broke.

Every friend and/or family member, who has driven this car, complains. I'm about to get rid of it and can't wait!...read morehide

Pros

Fun, safe,

Cons

check engine light goes on every 1-2 months and to find out which of 2000 problems it could be means

except for the &&%%^ check engine light that goes on every 1-2 months this car would be perfect. The indicator light according to the service dept. of my VW dealership could indicate a problem with one of 2000 things! Naturally they keep my car for minimum of 2 days and $$$. Very frustrating. Otherwise, I love this car so much I am thinking of upgrading to a new one....read morehide

Pros

Adorable! Great of gas, fun to drive, easy to own!

Cons

problem with the radiator reservoir, fixed right away though.

This is the best car I have ever bought. I absolutely love it. The only problem was because I got a BRAND NEW one there was a leak n the radiator reservoir that probably happened at the factory. It was fixed right away. If you are looking to buy one in South Florida, go to Gunther VW of Coconut Creek. They were wonderful. They made sure I got everything I wanted and were super nice. I worked with Michael Lair and I felt like he really cared and was not just a salesman.

I am so happy with everything I know my next car will be coming from Gunther and I will most likely get the Eos Convertible next! If I can give up the beetle, that is!...read morehide

Pros

Great economy, great styling, my partner and I love the look. Plenty of space for the dogs in back.

Cons

With convertible top, not enough trunk storage.

My partner and I think this is just the greatest little car to come out in a long time. The ride is nice and smooth, the gas is awesome, and the looks we get on the cape are phenominal.
