The original? An absolute classic to look at and horrible to drive. The new one? Looks like the original was stung by bees and forgot it’s EpiPen
The new one (first generation)is essentially a Golf IV, so it’s at least a functional vehicle. Those are almost old enough to have a historic license plate in Germany.
what do you mean, classic beetles are a blast to drive
Maybe it was the one I drove - I found myself pushing the steering wheel in a bid to get up a relatively modest incline. I was also quite alarmed by how quickly things were passing me.
Then again, my daily at the time was an RX-8.
thats quite a point of comparison
beetles are fun but arent that powerful, and its an old car so you need to be on top of maintenance.
It’s an absolute classic.
A few days ago on my way home from work, I saw someone driving a convertible 1961 Beetle, I thought it looked so cool.
I had a long wheel base super bug. Was incredible. I still miss that thing.
My work collegue has a new beetle. It’s basically a monster truck in comparison. Nothing small about it.
A classic, but uncool? It was always a classic, pretty car. But I remember seeing a lot of them when I was young, so they don’t seem “special” to me.
