2005 Volkswagen Beetle Reviews, Pricing & Specs

This car is fantastic for summer activities and even winter activities. It runs great and purrs like a kitten. It gets great gas mileage and its very easy to maintain. This is the best car to drive! Manual is so much fun.

Great piece of engineering; a lot of fun with either the top up or down. I own a black on tan leather with multi spoke alloy wheels and XM radio and it's an overall great car. My wife use to drive it but now with a baby is a little difficult due to space, but we love the car

Only hybrids get better fuel economy, but this will run biodiesel. Handles like an Audi TT, because it is built on the same platform. Never have to tune up, because there are no spark plugs, etc to worry about.

It's small so I can handle it very well and feel comfortable on the road. I like the fact that it is good on gas and is very stylish. I like how smooth of a ride it is too, you would think since it's so small that it would be a bumpy ride.

Rear seating space, is not for adults, and barley accommodates kids. Engine is very peppy especially in Sport mode. Heated seats are a real plus in the winter time. A/C could get colder faster but it does chill down well on the hwy.

Very cool car, huge fun factor, fast. German handling is a winner. Holds the road well. Easy to control in snow. Well equipped and nice interior. Excellent ergonmics Not hugely practical but makes the best of the shape and interior

Gas mileage is good and is fun to drive specially with top down. Front seats are very spacious and comfortable. Accelaraton is slow but then again is four cylinder.

Overall the bug is a keeper... other than the cons described above the car drives great and is soooo fun and cute...I believe with the new model that came out this year there is a huge improvement on all the things describe as being a con. I dont like the new body style...its looks like a mini cooper and a Porsche combined and simply take away from the classic look the bug is all about... I feel they should have had two optional body's to choose from... the reason I feel people buy them is because it is a bug (that's why I wanted one anyway)... that is just my opinion.

massive dashboard. Best to have a 1.6 or a diesel as have been known to be gas gusslers

This car is one of my personal favorites. It has a rich history behind it. This car truely shows off its german engineering with slapstick shifting. It has a lot of features that no other car would ever have. Nice comfort
