2000 Volkswagen Beetle 2.0 from North America
Summary:
A very nice looking lemon
Faults:
"check engine" light keeps coming on at random. Dealer says they can't find anything wrong with it. It goes through tires like nothing I have ever seen. I just got 2 new front tires six months ago and they need replaced again. It makes a whining noise when I back up. Dealership says it may be an internal transmission problem, but they also tried to tell me that the warranty won't cover it because it's normal wear and tear.
General Comments:
I hate this car and I swear I will never buy this or any Volkswagen product again in my life. I can't wait until I can trade this car in.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? No

You are aware that the VW is a front wheel drive vehicle and the BMW rear wheel drive, aren't you?
They exhibit completely different handling characteristics.
