This is the 6th bug I have owned. I love everything about this car. I love that its sitting up on 15's. I love driving it: the pickup, the sound, the smell. I love working on this car. I love the fact that I can still afford and get OEM parts for this car. I really love that I can get away from road bullying SUV's and ride tractor trailer tailwinds with this car. I love that this car is made of metal not plastic. I love that it is air-cooled and has the engine in the back. I love that I can still push this car off the road when I run out of gas! I started out using this car as a joy ride, but it soon became my daily driver. The is nothing like being behind the wheel of a genuine VW.Sep 23, 2013

Love the car, bought it for my 16 year old son. Trying to get it driving better. When it runs it runs well. Looks awesome and the 16 year old loves everything about it. EXCEPT that he cant just crank and drive whenever he wants. Looking for some experienced opinions to get the most out of this beautiful car. Thanks!!!Jul 09, 2011

I love my Lilly. The paint on the outside it in good shape it has some rust. It needs a new top on it and not to mention that my husband hit a deer in it last summer and now we have to put a new hood on or have this one fixed if that is possible. We always get looks and people saying the it is a very cute car and I have to say that I do agree with thatApr 29, 2010

handling was great because you couldent reach an unsafe speed. was on fire alot. and the parts are super cheap...but you'll need all of them. But everyone in town has a look at your car cause its a beetle.Nov 21, 2009

It is fast and it is crazy fun to drive. Super loud and great on gas but bottom line its just a for fun car. It has a performance built super beetle engine. The one my dad has has a red white and blue theme and a spoiler and mickey thompson offroad tires.Sep 23, 2009

cette auto est splendide elle fait tourner les tetes et ma fille adore faire un tour avec. j'ai passé plusieurs heures a la mettre en parfaite ordre mécanique et essayé de prendre des pieces d'origines, j'espere pouvoir la garder encore bien longtempsMar 26, 2009

Performance: handles well on the highway, motors right along at any speed, brakes well
Build Quality: built well, top seals and rubber have needed attention, gas heater cooks you out, never stuck in snow with rear engine
Cost of ownership: gas mileage is great, maintenance is average like most cars.
Fun Factor: I have driven many many cars, from luxury suvs to sporty MB convertibles. Nothing has ever been as fun as this car!Jul 04, 2008
