This is the most reliable auto I have EVER owned ! It gets 52 MPG and the only repair has been a burned out head light, which my husband replaced himself, with the help from a service manual. Took about 15 minutes to accomplish !
I've been driving my Bug since Jan. 2001 and would not have any other!!!!
