I have a VW Beetle for over a year now and I love it and interior materials are nice. 2017 I have the 1.8 engine and it packs a punch 🥊.

Great review as always Sam, Thank you.

You're an awesome reviewer!

Actually liked you and didn't think you were biased until I seen this video... You gave a perfect score wow.. credibility is out the window

I enjoy your videos.

I LOVE the green Beetle! Back when "Blackwater" was the current hit from the Doobie brother, I hd a green convertible bug with black vinyl interior and roof. A 4speed trans and it was dreadfully slow, but back then it was all about the slow ride!

"As you can see I'm dressed for winter". In shorts ;)

Love this color combo and there are exactly none for sale within 500 miles of me. I would basically have a choice between black, black, black, or that dull-ass blue.

Have you gotten to the Buick Tour X. Would love your feedback. It's #1 on my list of new cars.

3. 2. 1...hey my good friends!! Sam is the man!

I just rented one in Hawaii the other day and fell in love with it making me really want to get one when I returned. Yes my minor complaint being a car enthusiast was the transmission, as far as automatics go I wish it had a DSG but compared to other automatics it wasn't that bad.. The rental had 3K miles on it and donned the check engine light which I was pretty upset for this to happen even being a rental car. I own a 2000 Golf 2.0 with a supercharger and I can see why I get a check engine light.

Nice! I’ve owned 2 VW Beetles in the past and found them quite nice! I wished they would have put a manual transmission as an option; sales might’ve spiked!

I wish my three VW's had been reliable. I also wish they'd bring back the European Passat. That would get me back in the showroom.

I love that car i want one

Only lights to come on for my ‘10 Tiguan were for burnt headlight/ running light and “tire pressure too low” ... which is overly dramatic 34psi vs 35psi recommended

They still make the beetle??

hey friend; if mfgrs didn't try to "tune" for high mpgs, would cars actually get better mpgs...are you sure the budack system isn't more for emissions than mileage as that is was VW got "burned" over in the recent diesel thing? Even a V12 Ferrari can have great hp yet get really good emissions numbers and I doubt the V12 was tuned for "mpgs"...I can see that constraining an engine through tuning and transmission performance might be a mileage thing, but I believe its more for a an emissions things; less fuel being burned, lower emissions (curious to see the design of the top of the piston? maybe the engine will loosen up over time; how many miles on your review mule?

in 2001, I traded my 1995 Eagle Talon that I had for 5 1/2 happy years due to craning my "injured" neck to get in. MPG was about 34.. I found a used 1999 Silver Bug loaded but no spoiler and added the 6 CD changer in the trunk. It had its issues with the trunk release and I was fine with it being my very first bug riding on the euphoria of it all AND BOOM OMG the interior lights at night. I had her 5 years until my husband died and insanity made me dump her and his Caravan for the Honda ORANGE Element..... Welllll at 16 mpg city driving of a 2 cylinder engine with the constant reminder of my grief purchase, I was cornered at the VW lot, on my way out actually and a salesman nearly blocked me with his car asking if I was looking. He takes me INSIDE and behold a 2.5 liter (ZOOM ZOOM) sunflower yellow loaded WITH a custom spoiler. I leased it and stupid me BOUGHT it "again" you could say. So from March of 2007 until today, I still have her at 73000 miles but I do have 2 other cars a 1991 Chevy S-10 Blazer 4.3 engine and a 2015 KIA Soul Exclaim. Up until a month ago, my LowBug had NEVER given me issues. Suddenly on the downshift approaching a stop in traffic I hear CLUNK and FEEL clunk under my seat. I'm afraid the transmission is on its way out after doing the required work on her :(

Is the beetle like the bug
