Consumer Description

CAR ROLLED-OVER VERY EASILY AFTER GOING OFF ROAD WHEN DRIVE LOST CONTROL ON ICY SURFACE. MY CONCERN IS BASED ON THE CAR ROLLING OVER TOO EASILY. DO NOT BELIEVE THE GRADE THAT CAUSE THE ROLL OVER WOULD HAVE CAUSED ANY OTHER VEHICLE TO ROLL. THIS INDICATES TO ME THAT THE VW BEETLE MAY NOT BE DESIGNED CORRECTLY.
