No issues in 4 years.

It gets in tight spaces, great for shopping centers. Bright red makes it easy to find and it has an amazing shine. Surprising amount of legroom in the front.

It was a decent car

It was a okay car. It got me to point A and B. Gas mileage was alright. Probably wouldn?t buy again unless it was a great deal

Great around City-Stiff box on the Highway tho!

This car is excellent on gas and gets Around city like a champ. However, on the freeway it shakes God awful and won't perform going over 70 mph so stay at 70 mph. It is the best advice i can give. Ive had minimal repairs. The car is awesome. Low maitenence, oil change easy and cheap.

Fun Buggy

Great on gas, ample trunk space, easy to maintain for the DIY person. Needs rear wiper, a bit more power. Excellent for our purpose. Fun to drive.

45 miles per gallon beetle

This is a 2013 Volkswagon beetle TDI. I love the car. It is fun to drive. The gas mileage is incredible. The only downfall is that it will only hold for people.

Immaculate Car Inside and Out

We looked and looked for VW Beetle for our daughter. We found this car, drove it and fell in love. She is beyond excited to own it and loves driving it. This car will last her through college. Great find... Thanks to Cars.com and Gravity Auto sales where we purchased the car.

best car I've driven in a long time.

I loved the gas it saved me, smooth ride and it had speed. It was the most enjoyable car I've owned. Would like to find a 200o- 2007 to drive again

A Dream Come True

This car is incredible! All the features are beyond awesome and very user friendly. It's super comfortable with very easy adjustable seats & lumbar support. The design is great, a wonderful update of a classic. My car has the classic style hubcaps that give it that extra special VW Beetle feel to it. The second I saw it online I knew it was the one for me & I'm over the moon I found it.
