 My wife wanted a beetle ever since they released the new version.  We bought a certified used, so had a warranty on it which has come in handy.  Don't buy a Beetle without a warranty!  We had 2 or 3 warranty repairs that would have been $400 or more.  Now that it's out of warranty, we've spent about $1,500 on repairs that are quality issues, from leaking cooling systems to exhaust pipe cracks to window motors. The interior looks stylish but cheap and is cheap. The armrest, mirror adjust switch, and a cup holder are broken. Sun visors are worthless; back seat folds down to an odd and annoying position; glove box is too small.
