What a lemon - Want lemonade?? by Kathy - California on 09/21/2004. Trim: 2001 Volkswagen New Beetle GL, Owned 3 years.

Pros: Cute car, fun to drive
Cons: Service problems since day one. VW corporate and dealers not willing to back a bad product.
Overall review: I would not buy another VW if my life depended on it. This car has been in the shop more than 10 times... headlights, windows, EPC light problem. The computer has been replaced twice, and emissions problems are constant. They told us to drive it until it died and have it towed back to the dealer. Not a satisfactory response for a 18 year old girl that drives 100 mile to/from school.
