This little vehicle is extremely trust worthy, and gets 45 mpg regularly, just driving around with mixed highway and city miles. It starts at -30 degree weather, great car for your future kids to get to college on.

2006 Volkswagen Beetle Review:
My Volkswagen Beetle is a very soundly built car, loads of fun to drive, and absolutely a fuel sipper. It feels like you're driving and riding in a much larger vehicle.

2006 Volkswagen Beetle Review:
We just took delivery on a 2006 Volkswagen Beetle Convertible automatic. The car handles like a dream, is loaded with stock safety features, and puts a big smile on our face when driving. Its fit and finish are excellent. We have had no early onset problems. The 2.5 liter engine has great pickup. The car provides a sturdy and fun ride and has no cowl shake. Our first impression is great!

Pros: What do you like about 2006 Volkswagen Beetle?
I love the CD Player and MP3 jack. The chrome detailing is a welcome addition, as is the redesigned center console. The new engine also gives it a sporty edge and extra zip in acceleration. The redesign of the head and tail lights looks slick, too!
Cons: How would you improve 2006 Volkswagen Beetle?
None so far.
2006 Volkswagen Beetle Review:
This is my second New Beetle, and I love it just as much as the first! I love the new paint options, (mine is Salsa Red) and the new interior refresh. It is easy on gasonline, and reliable under the hood...this car is again, a winner! The front seat passengers enjoy large amounts of leg room and head-space. The vehicle is safe and incredibly fun to drive. I always wonder if people on the road are looking at my car and wishing they had it :)

Pros: What do you like about 2006 Volkswagen Beetle?
the seatwarmers are great. The satelite radio is fun, but not necessay. Everything is in arms reach. My favorite feature is the area under the radio. It's perfect to put sunglasses, ipod, wallet, etc. The aux port for MP3 player sounds GREAT. The new lights and exterior stand out from the other Beetles.
Cons: How would you improve 2006 Volkswagen Beetle?
I have the harvest beige color, and it is really hard to keep it clean, but I still love it and don't regret it at all. The driver seat squeeks just a little bit, but I'm sure my dealership will take care of that when it gets its oil change in a few weeks. Other than that, I love it!
2006 Volkswagen Beetle Review:
I went from having a Ford Explorer to my 2006 Volkswagen Beetle, so the change in what I was spending on gas was fantastic. I also went from having a 6-cyclinder to a 5, honestly you can't tell the difference. And don't think you're going to feel like just another person with a Beetle. The new lights and lines make it look noticeably different. It is so fun to drive, so really get the dealership to let you test drive it. If you get the harvest beige, the Mr. Clean magic erasers are awesome at getting left over adhesive and little skuff marks off the car :).

2006 Volkswagen Beetle Review:
I found the 2006 Volkswagen Beetle to be very nimble and easy to handle. It has all the power I can ask for in a compact car. With just my wife and I this is more than enough car for us to use and it is getting about 26 MPG and it doesn't even have 1,000 miles on it. My other car is a GMC Yukon XL that gets about half the gas mileage.

Pros: What do you like about 2006 Volkswagen Beetle?
smooth 5-speed and peppy engine
Cons: How would you improve 2006 Volkswagen Beetle?
Make it quieter inside, reduce the wind noise.
2006 Volkswagen Beetle Review:
My 2006 Volkswagen Beetle is a great, fun to drive, the engine is peppy with plenty of power, you get a lot for your money in this car. I have only a few concerns, the wind noise. With the CD going you'll never notice it though. Also, the car's ride is a bit stiff and it doesn't take bumps well. There is an engine (drivetrain) rattle/noise about 1,500 rpm that seems to get better the warmer the car gets. Overall this is a lot of car for the money. The base price gets you air, electric locks / windows, cruise, and more..

2006 Volkswagen Beetle Review:
I was very excited to buy my 2006 Volkswagen Beetle. It's cool looking and fun to drive, but belive every bit of bad press that you read because the build quality is awful. I own a 1971 VW that is actually more reliable than this thing. Save your money and sanity and buy something else.
