 My wife has always wanted the New Beetle convertible.  So I did quite a bit of research online and read many reviews, pro and con.  After many months of searching,  we finally found the car my wife has been dreaming about. We've only had the car for one week.   It's a really fun car to drive, especially with the top down.  It handles very well on the highway and gets pretty good gas mileage.  There are a couple blind spots but that's normal for most convertibles. It's the heaviest car I've ever owned.  You feel like you're riding in a tank!!  Overall, I would recommend this car for someone looking for a fun drive.  Just watch out for all the stares you're going to get!!
