I have a 2000 New Beetle totally cute. Just got it some months ago and I love it. black Blue, nearly purple, all leather interior. One of my man friends was against it at 1st til he got in it. He said, " my name, if there is such a thing as a cool not girly Bug, you got it.." nevertheless I love it..

Yep. We have a 1982 VW Scirocco. it's such a great car. After 24 years, it still runs reliably. it's in original condition, with original paint that's still shiny the interior is original, and is perfect, with the exemption of the dash, which is cracked. It has a minimal amount of scratches, has no rust, and only one small dent on the fender. And, it gets 30 mpg. The thing that's really cool about it's that after 24 years, the original ignition box just went out. that is how good those things were.

I've got a sweet 73 Right hand drive I shipped back to the states with me when I has been stationed in England. I get many odd looks when I drive around in Washington.

I HATED MY BEETLE.

I owned 2. The 1st one I owned was a 2001 GLX Turbo. It had many problems with the mass air flow system that recirculates the air for the turbo system. I began Better Business Bureau Lemon Law preceedings and the night before my arbitartion date, someone from VW called and offered me a brand new 2002 GLX as a substitute they knew they goed to lose, and didn't want the car classified as a lemon .

That brings me to car #2. I got rid of it about six months ago. It was problem free in the beginning. Then it seemed as although everyhting went wrong. inside a period of some months the car started to blow fuses and have different issues. The biggest issues included:
coolant system failure, to get stuck in park on many instances, stalling usually, etc.

In my opinion, the new beetle is the most unreliable car made. I could understand one lemon, but not two in a row, from two different model years.
