      My old Beetle story - When I became driving age my mom had a 5-speed Camry and I begged her to teach me to drive it. I could shift the gears once I was moving, but I had trouble taking off smoothly (or stalling) from a start until a family friend let me practice in his Beetle. We just drove around the neighborhood starting and stopping until I figured it out. I love the sound of those old Beetles.

      This is truthfully one of the better ones you guys have done of late. LOVED it. Also, kudos for outputting the amount you guys do.... it’s mind blowing... I can barely get one out every two weeks... would love to connect and just hear out your process and stuff. Next month tho I have a vehicle every 6 days..... no idea what I’m gonna do if I just keep to my normal posting schedule.

      I'm glad this murderous car is almost gone. An original one (old beetle) had a parking brake that failed and almost took out my baby sister when we were growing up....seriously though, it is a bit sad to see an icon be temporarily retired. A RWD electric manual version is totally doable and sounds amazing!

    My first car was a 1974 british racing green Super Beetle. Indestructible. Had a bad muffler, a shot steering gear ($85 wholesale + $110 to install it in 1982) and a blown head gasket. It ran for 6 years. LOL! It had a sunroof and only left me stranded after a crooked mechanic screwed up the brakes so they didn't release after a few uses. Probably wouldn't go as far to say I regret not having it, but it was almost a right of passage in my day. Nice video guys. I hope you got to drive the '78 convertible that was in the background.

Best part of the car was the lifestyle package which but the lime green into the leather with a center panel and green stitching on the black leather, also had green inserts between the spokes of the wheels which made it a very unique vehicle around town.

    Lots of fun memories in a beetle from about 17 years ago. My cousin had one of the old style ones from Mexico, and he was the cool older person who drove me and my high school friends all over the place. I remember cramming people into the back seat of that thing, and the lack of windshield defrosting, and the heat only coming through some weird vents just under the doors (which could get clogged with leaves), and the crazy loud rear engine. You didn’t even need a tach because you got used to the vibrations under your ass telling you when to shift.

    Good review. Also, don't go to a public library to look at Consumer Reports magazines. The Beetle, Wrangler, and Mini Cooper do not score well for reliability surveys, even though many like the looks and how the Mini Cooper handles. My choice is a cheaper hardtop for a more reliable model from a different company, and a motorcycle with a lot more of a convertible view and wind feel.

    The Beetle had a cool version for rally competitions, there was no street version of it to profit from the victories. It could have been the sports car from VW. A manual version with a punchy boxer engine would have been amazing. Today if the company wants to sell it, they have to say that is an SUV or a CUV. Congratulations guys on bringing good vibes on a car where evolution showed that wrong choices are harmful. There is no other car that started as close to a 911 than the Beatle. One is the car that every car enthusiast loves, the other one could have been the one that everyone bought, but it went on directions that brought its life to an end. Which is fine. Happy Holidays! ;o)

    Girls at my school always have a modded out jeep theyll never go offroading in, a corolla, or a beetle.

    If the beige and black seats are uncomfortable, then I’m heartbroken. Dang it. You two are a hoot though, thanks for the informative review.

    I was thinking Mini Cooper or fiat 500 as a competitor to the beetle

    Under 23k US for convertible and appearance package is well priced. And as always, you guys delivered with your review.

    I am sad. I used to own a 1978 Beetle. They should not kill the brand. It is like getting rid of the Big Mac.

    Since its being sold in the USA, I would think of it as more throwback to the 1979 VW Beetle convertible which was the last of the old Beetle sold in the USA. The Mexican Beetles were unknown to most Americans.

    Personally I think the bettle will come back as a hybrid hatchback as that’s a chance for vw to fill in a market they’re not present in. Hybrid for the future!

    Ha you saw our fire damage. Thats one fire out of many, the vast acreage of devastation is jaw dropping. Here's hoping that cliche corner never turns into Mordor.
