Waterheads rule
I love my beetle, its only broke down 4 times in the past 2 weeks. The only bad thing is that someone stole my engine but for some reason it still drove home. I popped the hood and there was no engine. I still cant think of why it still runs with out an engine. I guessing its because of the battery but it still eats gas.

The old beetle was fun car. It may have been hopelessly outdated even long before sales ended in the united states - but it had a hard to describe charm about it. I guess you could say that it had character, it had a soul. It's almost the way a car should be (but not quite)
Function before form - without the form part  The "New beetle" on the otherhand... hmmmmm. Quite curious about that car. The two most frequently asked questions about New Beetle before it came out were: 1: is the engine in the back? 2: is it air-cooled? O.K. it's understandable that the thing isn't air-cooled with emissions laws being as strict as they are - but really it needed to be rear engined, VW screwed up big time in that respect. After all, looks aside - the most important thing to would-be owners was if the car was rear engined like the original.

old beelte for sure they are a classic. i think they should have tried to make the new beetles air cooled, i think that would have made it sell better.

Man I love old beetles.. the new one's aren't even beetles.. they're not air cooled and the engine isn't in the rear.. they don't sound a damn thing like the old beetles.. the real beetles... and they should've stuck with the old style.. plus.. i love my old 72 super beetle convertible..

I prefer the old Beetle. I got a new one because it was "safer" and more reliable. Not! The engine overheated and the trunk wouldn't pop within the first 3 weeks of my purchase. The only good thing is that I got a GLX (turbonium) and it was quick.

i personally have a 69 beetle. right now it is in project statis. my goal is to get a 911 turbo motor into the back of it and have 3 racing seats in it. right now it is sitting at my friends shop with now interior, no dash, no engine. right now it is just basically just a shell with wheels and a suspension.
