Volkswagen Beetle 2009

2 star review

The interiors of this car are not up to the mark when considering its price.

Volkswagen Beetle 2002

5 star review

What a great car, bought it from possibly the worst VW dealer in Cheshire, I was a bit worried about buying a car with high miles from such a bad dealer, but the car was great. It had 77,000 miles when I bought it, had it 2 years and didn’t spend a penny, not even tyres. Great fuel economy and reliability, build quality is very good, go for the TDi model, choose your dealer very carefully,great little car for the money.

Volkswagen Beetle 1.6 3d 2004

5 star review

This is such a girlie car and I love it. It’s cute looking and comes with a flower vase, what’s not to like?! It also has a decent engine and drives really well. It’s totally reliable and well built. A reinvented classic that has become a classic itself - pity you boys have to miss out!

You either love or hate the Beetle! I love it. Well built. Little room in the back though.

Volkswagen Beetle 1.4

5 star review

Perfect! This is a car built for girls and I love it! It was a toss us between this and the Golf but the beautiful curves won it for me.I would say that my Beetle is ideal as a car for one or two people to use but should not be contemplated as a family car - there is not much room in the back!
