my niece is gonna be 16 come march and my sister is asked me what i know about the new beatles, well i told her that as far as i knew they were reliable and a also safe car . further more they'll be getting a new one [i know why buy new, but that is just them] and my niece wants it to be pink...... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) , any ways i told her that she should check to see if it could be ordered from the factory in the special color.
so what issues do they have and, what do you repair shop guys think? |

I agree with the Captn on this one. Stay away from automatics. I went through 5 transmissions on my Jetta VR6 in 120,000 and blew the motor. I maintained per the Mfg. spec's but found out that the oil pick up was too close to the pan. My Passat was a stick and I had 0 problems in 100,000 miles with that car. Go with the Beatle and a stick you should be all set. Go with white as most of the rest of the colors are "tri colors" and body shops will not put in the work to make them correct.
