No more Bug and thrilled! :) by An MSN Autos Consumer on 10/13/2012. Trim: 2003 Volkswagen New Beetle GLX 1.8T, Owned 9 years.

Pros: Appearance
Cons: Always has engine and air bag lights on! To many sensors! Always in shop! Tired of VW Dealer charging $100.00 per hr for labor rates!
Overall review: Will never own another VW product again and highly recommend to stay away from a Beetle! I have since traded in the car.
