    5 Stars NEW BEETLE, A MUCH BETTER BUG Diamond review 24/10/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages The uniqueness of the whole package. Turns heads like no other small car. Turns a corner like a sportscar. Surprising fuel economy. Flower vase.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages It’s no getaway-car, lack of rear headroom and boot space, constant nose and fingerprints on the windows.

    Yes, the Bug is back, and better than ever! There are times in your live, when against your better sense and financial abilities, you suddenly realise that you cannot spend one more day living without a new toy. I experienced this hellish sensation about 1 year ago when I first met the New Beetle. Three days later the car was in my garage, I was blissfully infatuated with it and my bank manager was in tears. Both loved and hated by motoring journalists since it’s first debut a few years ago, this is certainly a car which evokes discussion. Traditionalists have always been divided over ... more

    4 Stars Doesn't bug me. 04/06/2012
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Iconic design, drives well in all conditions, durability, quality manufacturer.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Petrol consumption.

    I always wanted a VW Beetle - and spoilt that I am(!) - I was lucky enough to have one bought for me as a Christmas present. There it was....sat on the drive with balloons and a banner - and it was all MINE.....and I've loved it ever since! That was 8 years ago - and to this day, I don't have any regrets whatsoever about this car because its served me very well. It was an ex-showroom car and was 6 months old when I received it. It cost the purchaser £13,999 as a ex-showroom model. I'm sure I don't need to describe what the car looks like - on the outside at least because I'm sure you've all ... more

    4 Stars Bug Goes Golfing 26/01/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages A beautiful, individual car.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Basically just a Golf, not lightening quick, gearbox

    When the New Beetle appeared as a concept car back in 1996 it was met with immediate interest and acclaim for its styling. And there is certainly no car that can compete for individuality. But is the Beetle just a Golf with a different body? Is it the best car in its class? Does it betray its origins? Answering the last question first, I have to admit that it does seem to betray the famous origins of the first VW. If you don't know by now Volkswagen is German for 'People's Car' the only vision for Hitler's Third Reich that survived history (thankfully). But the new Bug isn't a family car at ... more

    5 Stars Heresy. I like it more than the original 03/04/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Stylish, gets you noticed, well build, It's a beetle!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Poor over-the-shoulder visability, possibly overpriced

    When I heard VW were going to produce an updated verson of the Beetle I was sceptical at best. But then I saw one. NOTHING prepares you for you first look at this little darling. It's like they've taken the feel of the classic beetle a distilled it. Then added the luxuries of a modern car such as hendling, safety, aircon and such. The first thing you notice as you climb into the comfortable, slightlet bucketed seats is the size of the dash. It's truly immenense stretching out in front of you untill it meets the down curving windscreen. The instuments are neatly laid out and have a stylish ... more

    5 Stars I love this car 02/04/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages fun, stylish, nippy.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages a bit squashed in the back

    I have always wanted a VW beetle. When I first learned to drive I wanted an original one, but my Mum wouldn't let me. (Had to listen as she was lending me the money to buy a car) As soon as I saw the new beetle I wanted one, and now - at last - I have got one. I bought mine new earlier this month, and have now done just over 1200 miles, and I just love it. It is such a stylish car, and still turns heads just about everywhere you go. It is much bigger on the inside than I thought it would be, and the front seats go forward a long way, making it easier for passengers to get in the back. However ... more
