Never did I think a car almost as old as I am would be this amazing! My little red bug, which will be a legal adult next year, is more reliable and sturdy than any of the newer cars in my driveway! With proper maintenance this little car should last another 18 years if not longer and until it dies or I have to I will keep it as my car. Its gas mileage is high enough to make so called 'high mileage' car owner squirm. It's little but I've taken it off road, over fords that other cars wouldn't cross, out of state trips, and over a few obstacles that it probably wasn't intended to cross. For a compact car it packs a wallop! I can carry multiple weeks worth of luggage, plus a guitar and gig equipment, and anything else I'd need in it easily without even trying to pack it and still able to c... (more)
Story
"Where are you?" My clients asked. "I'm up the hill." I reply. I get an "umm" from the other side. "I don't think we can safely get up there." "I did it in my bug" I say. "You have a quarter inch less clearance than us!" They say. I had driven across a ford and up a hill in my bug to get to the parking lot. And my clients in a van didn't feel safe to do it. I was proud of my little bug.
Pros
-Rough and Ready. You can take this little thing anywhere! From mountains, to rivers, to mud, to city, to cross country trips. -Built in vase! You can be artsy and hippie. Because who besides artsy hippies drives bugs?! Seriously though the vase is a point of jealousy to my friends and if you put the right size flower in you can get it to spin with the A/C -Roomy! It's surprising but this car gives you a lot of room! The trunk is small but if you aren't carrying passengers in that ridiculously small backseat it fits a lot, and I mean a lot of stuff. -Fuel Efficient! I average 40 somethin... (more)
Cons
-Uncomfortable small back seat. Yes. This car seats four. Comfortably it seats two. Three is okay. Four? Those Poor people in The back. For short runs you can handle four but practically The most you should plan to hold in This car plus any personal items

I loved the look of the car. However, it had huge problems with accelerating.
Story
driving around with friends and listening to music. High school days were a lot of fun.
Pros
It looked great, the A/C worked well. Steering was very nice.
Cons
I did not like the blind spots or the acceleration of the vehicle.

The car sales team was extremely helpful and friendly. If the sales guy that I was assigned to was busy, they made sure that someone else on their team was available to assist me.

Very helpful in finding an affordable option! They were also patient in u making the right decision for our budget and what was right for our family. I think they also had a wide variety of options on their lot for us to choose from.
