Volkswagen New Beetle
Are you looking for a 2010 Volkswagen New Beetle?
Q: How can I convert my 1999 Volkswagen New Beetle to battery power?
A: the only way convert a car from gas to hybrid is to do it your self. you need a good knowledge of all systems and know how to fabricate your own parts. it is very time consuming and very expensive
Q: Why is the Volkswagen New Beetle switching to 4-cyl engines in 2010 or 2011 from the current 5-cyl engine?
Is there something wrong with the 5-cylinder engines?
A: they probably think it’s cheaper, and it probably is. Also, making an inline 4 is easier than an inline 5, and it’s most popular, and better gas mileage. The list goes on.
Q: Can you fit an infant car seat in a Volkswagen new beetle convertible?
I’m looking at cars and if a baby popped into my future I’d like to know how easy it would be to accomodate it, at least for a while?
A: yes
Q: Has anyone ever had a volkswagen new beetle?
The convertible one….how well do they hold up during rain, snow, other harsh weather? How well are they on gas? Any information or reviews you might have on them just tell me because im thinking of getting one. Maybe like a 2006 model.
A: Great place for you to visit in your research:

I have a ‘98 hardtop NB, and just love it

Q: Does the Volkswagen New Beetle Convertible break down a lot?
I really want a New Bettle Convertible, but after having a 2000 New Beetle I am scared to buy it. My 2000 Beetle broke down all the time. I was hoping you guys can tell me if you have one and that they have fixed all the problems I had. Does your New Beetle break down all the time? PLEASE HELP!
A: Well, the 2007 model is still too new to provide any long-term reliability information yet, but Consumer Reports has some blurbs on it. You’d need a paid subscription to the site to see the full review, but one quote from them says:
“Reliability is still well below average.”
I knew someone who owned a 2003 model, and she also had some problems with it; she ended up trading in for a Toyota Sienna (she was actually my friend’s mother, so the van made more sense for her anyway). If you’ve had trouble with them before, you might want to reconsider sticking with the New Beetle and possibly look into some other options.
Q: I need information about the volkswagen new beetle and convertible?
im planing on getting this car (my first car)…but i need to know some stuff first. ok well 1. does the convertible have a roll bar ? thats really important to me i want to be safe!! 2. i hear i breaks down alot and i dont want that so if i buy it new one will it to that? 3.what yr should i get? 2007? and thats about it just need some advise …thanks…
A: The vert has the latest rollbar system, that extends in case of a rollover. I have a ‘98 hard top, and I’m very impressed with its quality, handling, and huge ‘fun’ factor.
Go on this online forum, and ask all the questions you want.
It’s a very friendly place, and I hang there a lot.
Sometimes you can get an awesome deal on a bug there, because almost everyone there already has one, and most of them are very anal about maintenance and car care. This way you know what you’re getting. Even if you don’t find a car in the classifieds portion, you’ll get tonnes of information. There are no ’stupid’ questions either, and nobody will ‘flame’ you like some other car forums. Hope to see you there
Q: I want a new Volkswagen Beetle Convertible . What are the good and bad features???
I really, really want a new volkswagen bug convertible for my b-day. What are so,e of the good an the bad features??? I really want one. Please tell me the features!
A: Good: probably one of the safest convertables, they have rollover protection, airbags, abs, etc. Very good warranty, good performance.
Bad: Have some minor issues, these will be covered by warranty but will have a few trips to the shop. Very little luggage space but typical for a convertable.
Q: If you have a Volkswagen New Beetle- Is it true they break down or have other major problems?
Or if you know someone thats had problems with it? What kind of problems do they have, if they have any lol
My friend tells me they aren’t good cars and I really want one so I’m just wondering what other people have experienced with them.
A: Listen to your friend.
New beetles are famous for electrical problems and transmission issues.
Besides that, because they are a German vehicle, they are very expensive to fix and maintain.
The only way I would possibly recommend one is if you leased it brand new and turned it in at or before the warranty ran out.
Q: Is it weird if a guy drove a Volkswagen New Beetle?
I don’t know why, but I am so attracted to them for some reason. Lol!

javadic – Well, the retro ones were considered okay, except the new ones have been seen to be more feminine.
A: I’m 21 and I drive a red Beetle. When I was younger I always wanted a blue one. But after having mine for almost 3 years, I kind of want a GTI. Sometimes I feel people ‘overly’ look at me and I feel awkward. But they are very fun to drive. I suggest maybe getting tinted windows and changing the rims.
Q: Volkswagen New Beetle growth in the US?
Do you think the New Beetle has the potential to grow in the US market? Why?
A: No. It is a 10 year old tired design.
Q: Is the Volkswagen new beetle a reliable car?
So I’m 17 and my dad just bought me my first car a 2002 beetle which I love and have always wanted one; but ever since everyone tells me they’re no good and things always go wrong with them. So I’m contemplating on getting a different car…but what if I keep up with maintenance and etc. Do you think it will be ok? So have you had any problems with one or heard so?
A: It is a VERY RELIABLE and SAFE car.
Any car that isn’t taken care of will eventually become a problem, so as long as you are keeping up with the maintenance etc you will be fine.
I owned a 2000 1.8t that I bought new, drove it until 2006 (165K miles)
when we had the miss-fortune of running off the road and hitting a tre at about 70 mph.
Both my wife and I lives were saved by the car and it’s seat-belts and airbags. We were completely unharmed. Unfortunately it was totaled so we bought another. A 2006 and we love it very much.
I have been restoring old VW’s (air-cooled ones) for 30 plus years and I can say with lots of experience that I wouldn’t buy a different car.
Nothing compares to the New Beetle, it is fast, fun, safe, and big inside.
I am 6′3″ and I have no trouble fitting inside the car comfortably.
Keep your car Dear! You were right to get it in the first place.

Q: Volkswagen New Beetle year 2000 how many miles?
So I am looking at buying my first car. I have been looking for quite sometime. I have always wanted a Bug, and I finally found one for under 3,000 and it is a year 2000 and it has 170,000 miles, it is in good condition and works great. I know that is a lot of miles. Is it to much, that the great deal is not worth it? Also what is the limit you would go on how many miles a 2000 car would have? If you could help that would be great thanks!
A: Ideally it should have around 90,000 miles on average. I wouldn’t buy that car with that many miles unless you are a mechanic.
Q: Is a 1999 Volkswagen New Beetle a good reliable car?

A: No
