Question for VW Beetle owners

I have a 2000 Beetle and love it. Here in Colorado we get a ton of snow and ice, and I've never had a problem. Stephen fits very comfortably in it, driving or as a passenger. Of course, he really doesn't like to drive it because it's such a "girl" car. Could be the baby blue color, mickey antennae topper and flowers in my vase, but who knows. Mine is a turbo gas. The only problem I've had with it is airbag related. The airbag light has come on four different times, and they've had to replace the whole bag. However, they've paid for it every time, even once it was no longer under warranty.

Great car, fun to drive!

I hear ya on this one!! tc, do you have the "Vapor Blue" ? I have the other "Special edition" internet only sale color, "Reflex Yellow"... I LOVE it. 2000 New Beetle, no complaints, I'd get another one!

I get about 27 mpg highway, 22 mpg city.... also a 150hp Turbo engine...and it handles GREAT in the new england snowstorms and icy conditions.

I have experienced some of the recalls though - like the Airbag light that stayed on, due to a faulty part... and my window "auto up/down" stopped working.... but all under warranty and VW fixed it no problem. I get great service from my dealer.
