Used Volkswagen Beetle for Sale

The new VW Beetle is a great car, though its base model could use a little more pep - sometimes it feels like it lacks power. However, thanks to its small size, it's a capable city car and darts around the road and into tiny parking spots with ease. There's enough trunk space for most routine trips, though if you're moving, you'll want to rent a truck - getting more than a few week's groceries in the back can be difficult. I never have had any mechanical problems despite driving the car every day for years, so the build quality seems to be good.

I love ever part of my car. It is great is the heavy Vermont snow storms and does well on ice. Although it looks small, the back sit and trunk open up to a very spacious storage space. It is great on gas mileage and has required few repairs in the past eight years I have owned it.

I was so excited when the redesigned beetle debuted in 2012 that I bought it within the first few months. I regretted this pretty quickly as I noticed some issues within the first couple of weeks. For example, the curved windows would not roll up all the way. I researched online and found this to be a common issue. Volkswagen repaired them with no questions asked because they acknowledged how common it was and that it was the design of the cars fault. It became very inconvenient as I needed mine replaced multiple times. I imagine this has been fixed in the newer versions. Other than that I love the look and feel of this car. The price is a little expensive but that goes with the novelty of owning a beetle compared to other typical compact cars. The gas mileage is less than average and definitely an issue if you have long commutes. I average about 25 MPG which is way less than small cars from that same time frame. Fortunately I have a short commute. The interior of the car is luxurious. It is much bigger in the back seat than older versions but still not somewhere I would want to be stuck for a long road trip. Even the standard version comes with leather heated seats and unique details like color changing lights along the interior door panels. I also liked the inclusion of a phone charger hooked but it is already outdated as it is for an older iPhone charger. It is also located in the glove compartment with a short cord so you are unable to reach it while you are driving.
