1999 Volkswagen Beetle 2.0 GLS Walkaround, Start up, Tour and Test Drive

[@aquariangoddezz7108]

About to get my 99 VW Beetle in March ... I can't wait !!!

[@CorinGatwood]

Cool, I have a 1999 Passat, cool car, I have a vid on it, check it out!

[@1michmir]

I have a red 2001 2.0 automatic beetle with 98,900 miles and I thought the rpm was to high thank you your the only one that had talked about this from all the other videos I’ve watched.

[@andrefelixstudio2833]

I have. 2000 and it’s a rocket, I have fixed many things so it’s a very reliable vehicle great gas mileage.

[@BanditFMP]

I have 99 beetle myself and i lifted it 3.5 inches along with some all terrain tires and a cam with some exhaust tuning it is so fun to drive

[@vanessarodarte8484]

This isn’t even a car tour it’s a “talk the most shit about my gfs car that I can”

[@ericsparks2349]

Hey Thanks Jakeman. I just bought a 2000 on eBay. appreciate your joyride very thoughtful Thanks!

[@F-Man]

I have one - a '99, GLS, blue! Mine is still pretty good all things considered. BTW, the E-brake light and ABS lights may be associated with an ABS failure - check the in-dash fuse box (cross check with the owner's manual). Of course, the ABS is not a really critical system, but I would get it working again, unless your girlfriend is a good enough driver to know how to deal with wheel locking in the rain. It's a safety concern.

[@EmpyreanReaper]

My mom bought a New Beetle '00 in March this year. Yellow, 5spd manual.

[@tientrinh943]

Wow you really know the the details and years like the cup holders and side mirrors

[@clementine8397]

Such a cute car! I love the color, thinking about getting one in the next few years! :)

[@z1x1c1v1]

Congrats on 900 subs Jake!

[@firealarmanimateoutofservi8459]

We have a 2010 Beetle with the powered top convertible. It has a softer chime and also has a backlit center screen.

[@interflug4631]

I like this Porsche puppy !

[@norinarzonca3186]

Having problems starting any solutions on how to fix the problem?

[@BlakesCars2]

Nice 1st car! And wow that thing does rev high on the freeway.

[@Goodwillwinoverevil1984]

So cute/gorgeous! Always wanted one, but I could never afford it! My family's also a japanase car lover so they're rather biased.

[@arnask.4304]

Bubble bugs :) I so much love them :)

[@mymother3650]

about to get mine , just here to see if it really that good

[@FocusFord15]

5:08 WHAT YA DOING WITH MA DAMM CAR : thats your girlfriend right?

[@quehorassao00]

i have the same car and i find it fantastic,so much fun to ride

[@jwan_1193]

Do you know anything about the 1999 2.0 ? I would like to get one, I found one with 100000 km on the clock but now sure if it's too much

[@TotosSword]

Who else saw the girlfriend standing there?

[@HabibKhan-fg7xf]

crazy man 😂😂

[@ralphvaccaro2638]

Me 🙃

[@tinydog1117]

Just had same dash light problems until it fried all the wiring. Cause: someone who didn't know how to clear the ABS code tried and boom! A new ignition switch cured the gremlin. Next your fans won't turn and then the turn signal. And air bag. And it will run better when it's repaired.

[@Zzzzalazar]

i own a vw new beetle 1999 and its allot of fun to drive,my is a black color...BEAUTIFUL

[@britneyspears2683]

Did anyone notice the lady standing on the side of the road in this vid?

[@13crazydaisies]

I didn't get a good look at her but I thought maybe it was the girlfriend supervising the review of her car.

[@TotosSword]

Yup it's the girlfriend

[@ralphvaccaro2638]

His girlfriend

[@michellesaborioa]

Are those good cars?

[@nac5000]

is it normal my 4spd auto goes 70mph/100kmhr at 4000rpm on 4 speed ???

[@robertdavis32]

I've rode in my friends 04 beetle and its the exact same color as this one, and i can agree, it is cramped, but I'm more looking forward to riding in my other friends 09 beetle with the 5 cylinder I've heard its got wayyy more pickup to it

[@KaitlynBaines]

Thank you for your video I'm thinking about buying a red Beatle the same exact model

[@Jakeman21642]

Please don’t do that. This car was an absolute nightmare to own 10 years ago. Can only imagine what parts and service availability is like today.

[@KaitlynBaines]

@@Jakeman21642 Really sorry to hear that 😕

[@ibrahemhassanali3807]

I liked ur taste of music cuz u listen to the beatles ❤❤❤❤

[@williamalexander9877]

Great video. Would you Recommend a 2002 VW Passat? I am asking because I heard that MK4 VW's have more problems than newer models and i wanted to know from you and what you think. Thanks

[@TheMakeupFreako]

thanks so much!! this was so helpful!!

[@clementine8397]

If I get one in the next three years what year do you recommend? Thanks for the help!

[@ShodyHarajukuBarbie]

Great video and details! #LIKE👍🏽 I would like my 2nd car to be this car!

[@hassanmiller6475]

You still have this car and what year is this car and what state is this car from

[@Jakeman21642]

Dude it’s my high school girlfriends car. This video is like 7 years old idk if the car is even still alive. Obviously not for sale.

[@kluwe801]

@@Jakeman21642 probably at a junkyard about to get crushed..

[@caityheasly9546]

I've watched tons of videos and read multiple articles on this car, all have had alright to good reviews, high safety rating for the size and build of the car. I feel that you either got a poorly made version or you have WAY to high expectations for what the car main function is for. This is really a gentle car, not a race car. You can't diss a car just because its paint is a bit off, which is what you mostly discuss.

[@Jakeman21642]

Or I'm just not an idiot/an outdated and sponsored review that has to be positive. I know what a beetle is and what it should be like (I own a 71 convertible). At no point in the video did I say the car was unsafe (these are German and insanely safe, this one had been in a horrible accident at some point in its life and was still fixed and alive) nor did I ever say it wasn't fun to drive. These cars stay planted on the road and have great steering feel. I just lived with MULTIPLE real world examples of this car and like most older German cars they're insanely unreliable,expensive and complicated to fix and just do not stand up well over time inside and out.. I'm an automotive technology major with years of experience in the industry and know many people that would agree with me on the fact that these are some of the worst cars out there you can buy.

[@brandonb4224]

@@Jakeman21642 son, I am 43 years old and have bought, sold, traded, built, and raced more cars in a week's time than your little "college experience" will ever ever ever be able to supply to you. And EVERYONE in the automotive community would not agree with your horrible understanding of German built cars. They are highly over engineered, last forever, and actually are some of the easiest cars to work on (almost child/idiot proof, you know, like yourself). And 3500 revs at 70 miles an hour is "a bit high"? Are you high? 🤣 Or maybe just don't know jack about cars because you're girlfriend got this car for her 16th birthday, so unless your a pervert, you yourself is also very very young and dumb, and have a shit ton to learn about cars, the automotive industry, and how to identify what a "quite bad accident" you attempted to show us in the video. Bro, 1) missing headrest have zero to do with this, what you think the flew out the back seat when the car got hit 😆 2) the area inside the truck under the carpet where you showed it was "molded back together" that's actually called seam caulk and is used on all hidden areas of body work from the factory, and is every trunk in every car in the world. 3) the cracked license plate light, would be non existent in a really bad accident, slightly cracked/shattered like this one indicates a very slow 5ish mph backing into something or being rear-ended in a drive-thru restaurant style of "as minor of an accident as you could have" type of collision. Also the re-spray that far up into the rear of the car only means the body paint guys did a poor attempt at blinding the paint, or maybe they did a fine job and your just nit picking (because we couldn't see any difference in the actual video (which shows you have shit tons to learn about audio/visual recording/editing to help you produce a product that isn't trash, unlike that fine little automobile your girlfriend's parents bought her, knowing she will most likely wreck being her first car, or her dumb ass boyfriend will wreck knowing she is to stupid to keep your ignorant ass from driving, so they got her a car can be considered "just nice enough to enjoy and learn a few lessons in, but not so nice that it would hurt the the wallet if/when she or her moron boyfriend undoubtedly wreck and total it. 😉 Because trust me, once you fuck up her first car, she will learn a valuable lesson about trusting cocky little shitheads that are still wet behind the ears, and that son, is very very smart parenting 😏 Man oh man how it must feel to be so blissfully ignorant to real world experience and knowledge. I found over a hundred inaccurate bits of knowledge in your very very hard to watch video, but fortunately for the both of us, I have an actual life outside of slapping a little real world knowledge into young punks heads, so I've had to cut this lashing down into only a few snippets of brutally honest and accurate bits of automotive/parenting/& life information. PS, Best of wishes to your girlfriend, that you either learn a ton, loose the cocky shithead attitude, and actually become beneficial to her, or that she see straight through your foolish bs in less than 10 seconds of your next video, like I did in this one. Or best of wishes that she replaces you with a young man with an open-mind to learning and gaining experience through actual experience. That way, either way she ends up with a man beneficial to her, and some idiot who will clearly be laughed at around every corner in every room where he is at with actually knowledgeable men and women of the automotive industry. 🤷🏻‍♂️🤦🏻💪🏽🤣🙌🏼🇺🇲🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@josesantiago5449]

Soon I'll be going to college and i thought on getting a manual one is it any good? Can someone give some recommendations

[@Jakeman21642]

+Jose Santiago Unless you want a car that's perpetually broken stay away. I work in the car industry and these things are BAD. You can find so many nicer cars for the money!

[@thatvwgirl]

I have a 98 5-speed and it is the most reliable and fun car that I've ever owned. I love my beetle and would highly recommend one.

[@kessg95]

I have a 2001 manual and I am in love, honestly it's the best I have driven my husband has a 2009 dodge and I still prefer my car to his manual and all!!!

ahhh thank youuu! i thought my VW was the only one that gets over 3000 rpm on hwy speeds i guess thats typical for all bugs.

[@skymontclair]

Are you tall or short? I’m 5’10 and my mom thinks I’m too big for this car

[@Jakeman21642]

I'm over 6 feet tall and can fit in the front and back of these beyond comfortably. Especially in a model without the sunroof these are honestly some of the best cars for tall people.

[@Zzzzalazar]

i have the same car and i love it.you are to much negative about this fantastic car

Very slowly

[@thecarexpert21]

So have you named the car? Oh and, did who ever buy the car even read the carfax before buying it?

[@Jakeman21642]

She named it Brutus but it will always be the Blue Turd to me. And no her parents didn't...they bought it from a "trusted" person on craigslist who said he was the first owner and it had never been in an accident and was mechanically sound.

[@monke121]

Where the engine it’s normally in a rear right??

[@genesclean1]

No front wheel drive engine in front

[@tracypatchin2197]

I would buy it. Do u want to sell it?

I need my engine light to go away so I can get a clean inspection sticker, heeelp. D:

[@luiscolon6292]

Why do you show her license plate

[@Jakeman21642]

+Luis Colon No sense in hiding it. Nobody can look it up and it is illegal if they do find a way. People see your plate on the road every day so what difference does it make?

[@dgatan]

+Jakeman21642 Not illegal to look up someones license plate. In fact, google search it and you will find several websites that will allow you to pull someones plate and information.

[@Jakeman21642]

+ReelOne Well this was my ex's car so I REALLY do not care and if someone wants to find my plate and lookup where I live I've got guns. Not worried/ don't care at all.

[@dgatan]

+Jakeman21642 They got guns too, and don't care either
