Message from the seller

5 speed. Leaking coolant, water pump or possible headgasket issue. Mileage approximate (too lazy to jump it lol)

  • Reliability (2)
    2 out of 5 stars
    This model year is notorious for electrical gremlins, fragile plastic interior trim, and frequent issues with the automatic transmission and cooling system.
  • Maintenance (2)
    2 out of 5 stars
    The tight engine bay makes routine DIY tasks frustratingly difficult, and replacement parts for Volkswagen's unique components can be more expensive than its domestic rivals.
  • Technology (2)
    2 out of 5 stars
    Standard features like power windows and a cassette/CD player were acceptable for 2001, but the lack of advanced electronics and simple dash layout feel very dated now.
  • Comfort (3)
    3 out of 5 stars
    The front cabin feels incredibly airy with massive headroom, but the iconic sloping roofline makes the rear seats very cramped for adult passengers.
  • Dynamics (3)
    3 out of 5 stars
    Sharing its chassis with the Golf MK4, the Beetle offers a stable and predictable ride, though its soft suspension leads to significant body roll in corners.
