This wasn't a review of the car; it was a review of how it was treated and maintained throughout its life.
I have a 2008 convertible with 70k and its a peach. It's a shame such a lovely car and future classic wasn't properly looked after
For a moment let's consider that it's a 16yo rental that is still roadworthy.
German precision engineering 👌 it wasn't built to last forever. It was built to drive until the last mile.
It’s not done a lot of miles in its 16yrs but they were all almost certainly tough miles
I’m astonished that the power roof and windows still work at all, we have a 2008 in lovely condition and we love it but they are prone to electrical faults on the windows and roof. To be fair I imagine it’s had a real hammering over the years and being baked in the sun day in day out. Don’t be too hard on it it’s not been loved by anyone, it’s only there to make as much money as it can until it dies. Sad really !!
Was is the fix for the issues you have with the windows and the top because we have the same car with those issues
@@scottmattson4765Take a look at “New beetle forum” you can get all the info you need to fix your car.
I have the dark flint 2005 GLS 2.0 convertable vw beetle and I love it. So with your window not lining up with your top that can either be your regular is misaligned at the bottom you can adjust it manually. Or after you get out of the car and close your door unlock your car and hold the unlock for ab 2 seconds and the window will do down, then lock the car and the window should do up. There supposed to go down then up after you shut the doors to fit into the roof.
That Beetle was not maintained well. Any car is going to be in that condition without maintenance, especially after so many years. I would have no problem taking a Beetle in that condition and bringing it back to what it should be. I can do some of the work myself, and I have an awesome mechanic who can do what I can't.
I am Greek and I know that this car will definitely have 300,000 kilometers and not 50,000 every car rental in Greece goes down the kilometers to keep it longer
I have a 2008 convertible has 64,000 miles on it and I love it besides Volkswagens aren't smooth running card especially the older models it's 16 years old and your not walking
I grew up on Karmann Beetles and Ghias and progressed to 911s. I have to say I love a New Beetle Convertible. I'd drive one.
Tbf shitboxes can be the most fun. You have extra courage from not caring about the car.
Not getting this vid? Hire car been totally abused but still all works🤔
Nothing to get... hired a new looking hatchback, was given this- a leaking old beatle that just about kept itself together at 50mph
Mine got 54,800 orig miles is a 05 conv Flint edition!! No problems except the windows regulator of the rear pasanger door !! But run perfect..!!the problem to much plastic in the car!!
Tenner a day, you can't complain 🙄🙄🙄
bro that aint 50k miles. it's a laptop and 5 mins work to return that clock
Bloody hell, we may not have the 5 amigo's, BUT we have an EXTREMELY rare "guy" that drives, (but not very often) 🤫🤫🤫🤫
Evening Jerry, rare but not extinct! Got a couple vids in the edit that you may enjoy with a few more of us in!
Why don’t you guys upload a lot? I want more trackday videos and I’m sure other do as those videos bang
Mines in better condition and its high mileage with bits missing 🤣
I have a 2006 18T in mint condition with a manual roof...I love it and love to drive it....if yóu don't and don't want to, then don't. Don't have anything more to say about this "review". Oh, and let your wife speak her ówn mind next time...😉...
You should have "sh*tbox" in the title, might have gotten more views as ppl need to know if u were lying & tryin to get Clickbaits! 😄 Btw step by & compare it to my GTI Clubsport 👍 ("40 Years" as its called in Australia, if your from there?)
*Don't get a convertible VW ok
its a hire car arsehole what do you expect , after 16 years of hire its doing better than some ,
