True enough. Although it sorta is more of a classic design that made its way quite well, so they're still bought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen so too. Although I barely see any beetles out there. Not like I see many exotic cars out there tho. Volkswagen, Renault, Ford, Peugeot, Fiat are the ones I see the most, in quite simple cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well there are prices and road tax to consider [at least in Scotland] so it's always better to get a cheaper, more efficient car for cost effectiveness than an exotic car.

Not only is the design a complete miss, it's also expensive for what it is, unpractical, and there are so many other cars that can fill its role at a much better value. I don't know about where you live, but there's a reason they do not sell well at all in Europe. Most of that is premeditated. The Europeans hated it because it was widely viewed internationally as a definitive European car. (The British especially hated it because it wasn't British.) You go to Europe you get in a beetle however it wasn't very appealing next to something like the American muscle cars. Due to it's small size it was perfect for the narrow European streets. Combine that with a cheap price tag (and British royalty) and it was practically everywhere. Now days VW generally has high prices for all the vehicles they sell. Though the beetle it's self has improved a lot from the old compact vehicle. 12 minutes ago, Eredoc said: Well there are prices and road tax to consider [at least in Scotland] so it's always better to get a cheaper, more efficient car for cost effectiveness than an exotic car. "Labour of love". There are a lot of people that spend years bringing a car up to modern standards, including fuel efficiency. In my area alone I've got people driving Packards (everything from grill to fins), Dodge, Mustang, and a guy with something similar to a low lying race car.

The looks are to brag I think. As long as a car doesn't move at 2km/h and does its job while not being completely ugly, I'm good. 52 minutes ago, (XB1)MK Ultra K11 said: I drive a cardboard box.

Though the beetle it's self has improved a lot from the old compact vehicle. But you're talking about the old beetle, which was the people's car literally. There was nothing wrong with that one, since it fulfilled its role perfectly. I'm strictly talking about the new one, which is this generation and the previous one, which were expensive and unpractical. It has nothing to do with reputation or premeditation. As a European and a petrol head, I can tell you that this car is not hated for its past, but for what it is now compared to other cars on the market. You don't even have to look far for a better alternative, as VW themselves have 2 much better cars for the money. The Polo and the Golf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do like Audis or even mini cooper but are more expensive and costly to repair. Well, as long as I keep it maintained and it'll be reliable for years to come, I'm happy with my beetle.
