2004 Volkswagen New Beetle Pros and Cons at TrueDelta: Owner Pros and Cons by rcolin
Member5266
Reliability & durability
Despite having an extended warranty the vehicle was in the shop so often it became too inconvenient to own.
Materials & workmanship
Had to have some items repaired multiple times.
Fuel economy
Less than 25 mpg.
Powertrain performance
Sluggish response.
Past personal experience
Owned a 2001 New Beetle and had the same reliability problems. Had an extended warranty, but the vehicle was in the shop too frequently to be useful. Purchased the 2004 because it was convertible.
