2005 Volkswagen Beetle Review:
I recently purchased 2005 Beetle from a dealer. Before I got it home a hub cap fell off. Then driverside window would not roll back up and air conditioning didn't work. Back up lights were out. Driving home in a hard rain the driverside windshield wiper fell apart. Found the CD player would not work. While on the interstate the driverside headlight simply fell off and was hanging by the wiring. This car is a piece of junk and I don't feel safe driving it.

Pros: What do you like about 2005 Volkswagen Beetle?
I have a 2005 beetle convertible. I love the car, and am getting ready to purchase it, I have been leasing it for 4 years. Not sure whether or not to purchase the extended warranty, I guess better safe than sorry, right?

Cons: How would you improve 2005 Volkswagen Beetle?
A little more umph (power), better cup holders, but other than that, it's good the way it is.

Pros: What do you like about 2005 Volkswagen Beetle?
I love its steering, gas mileage and overall looks. It is a great little car and is easy to learn to drive in. I was also surprised by the amount of space in the trunk and the fact that a six foot man sat in the back seat without any sort of complaint. I am planning to own a beetle for the rest of my life.

Cons: How would you improve 2005 Volkswagen Beetle?
I would give the bug more comfortable seats and make folding the back seats down easier.

2005 Volkswagen Beetle Review:
I love this car regardless of the fact that the engine has been known to be "sluggish."

Pros: What do you like about 2005 Volkswagen Beetle?
Fun and easy to operate

Cons: How would you improve 2005 Volkswagen Beetle?
Better drink holders, trunk opening with only one beep would help. I'd like to see them in two tone colors and more of a choice in color, like deep black cherry would be a real eye catcher, or even a nice shade of purple.

2005 Volkswagen Beetle Review:
Absolutely love it....can turn it on a dime, and it handles very easy. Everything is easy to find once inside and belted in. LOTS of VIEW from windows is a great feature. I love the sunroof and you can't beat the cloth heated seat feature, as it stays warm or hot, whichever you prefer, without fading out after you use it for a while, like the last car we had.
