2003 Volkswagen BeetleVisitor, Boynton Beach, FL, May 02, 2013 10:25Electrical Shorts in headlamps, battery is ruined in less than a year from no recharge, Electric motors for top and windows are crap, fabric on the interior is falling off, hinge on drivers side split in two for no apparent reason, A/C unit died, Oil Plastic Dipstick crumbled into the block, Over heated and now ceased up with a blown head gasket (no temp gauge), Piece of crap! There are about thirty other items that are subpar on this piece of crap! NEVER BUY GERMAN AGAIN!Flag ThisLike0

2003 Volkswagen BeetleVisitor, Pedro, OH, January 12, 2013 10:42We bought this care for our daughter and it has been nothing but trouble. A money pit. Now we're told the problem is the modulator and there are none to be found.Flag ThisLike | 1 person likes this1

2003 Volkswagen BeetleVisitor, Sacramento, CA, August 20, 2012 07:28I've had my beetle for years, doing a god job on maintaining it, etc. Yesterday I pulled forward out of a parking spot, heard a loud crack. Apparently I ran over my left light eye (lens?) cover. REALLY?? How does that fall off??????? Possible glue issues?? Recall? Dont feel like this should be my responsibility. So the lens isn't good to use anymore. Anyone else experience this???Flag ThisLike0

2003 Volkswagen BeetleVisitor, Arlington, VA, May 26, 2011 09:33Never again! I purchased this car used at 74,000 miles. It now has just over 100,000 miles in the three years I've owned it. I've replaced brakes, rotors, tires, the left window, battery and ignition coil. Now I'm told I need to replace motor mounts and the gear shift - it's a stick. So, I still owe $3,000 on a car that is worth $2000 and will take another $4,000 to fix. Enough!!!Flag ThisLike | 3 people like this3

2003 Volkswagen BeetleVisitor, Salt Lake City, UT, September 02, 2010 09:14I really enjoy my 2003 New Beetle! It's super fun to drive (it's a 5 speed manual). I bought the car one year ago, it had 64,000 miles and it now has 75,000 miles. The biggest downer is that we've put a total of $1,300 for repairs (that includes the oil changes and 2 new tires-the dealer we bought it from paid for half of the amount). All in all, that isn't too bad.Flag ThisLike | 1 person likes this1
