Volkswagen Beetle Hatchback 2.0 3d (00) (2000/W) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Seems ok value although value's not as strong as expected.
Costs
5 speed gearbox is low geared, so fuel economy suffers (although performance is not electric!)
-
On the road
Driving
This is not a sportscar that's for sure. Buy for the image and the build, not the driving!
Performance
2.0 engine pulls well but is out steam too early. Sounds very harsh above 4,000rpm.
-
Living with it
Reliability
Has been ok so far, although oil light appears at 1400 mile intervals, dealer does not know why?!
Image
Still gets heads turning although the Mini is a better bet.
Comfort
Up front is spacious and airy, rear is snug at best. Ride is composed.
