🙄 yeah sure, all that knowledge! Mercedes and other brands are clearly missing on your vision and innovative points of view. Please don’t waste it answering to comments on TH-cam videos. Kid, if you don’t know how to drive stick just say it. It’s america, no one will judge you for your poor driving skills and preferences. Also, are you sorry or not? Put your shit together
I had a 2002 Turbo S. I loved that car. We did have many electrical problems until VW changed the whole unit with the speedometer etc. But that little car lasted 230,000 miles. The timing belt broke and killed the car. We paid someone to change the belt ( I'm not sure, but i think it was a chain? Not sure...) but when the engine blew, VW said it still had the original timing belt. We paid someone to do nothing and were misled. I believe this car would still be going if that belt didn't break. That was a fun... great 6 speed straight shift. I loved it.
I love these but I wanted one in blue so I bought a regular turbo Beetle and I'm slowly building it up into a Turbo S "tribute car" of sorts in the same way that people used to do up Mustangs to look like the Shelby version. :P
I have a black turbo s… 2003 great fun fast car btw they make 211 hp stock and ask for way more boost for some reason.. wonder why vw under reported the hp.
@@Ferraridude13 IMO they should have done a Series 2 RSi alongside the Golf R32 that was similarly priced and equipped. They were so expensive because they were low production homologation specials with lots of extra bits of carbon fiber and chassis stiffening that doesn't really translate into anything useful on the street. If I could get something that looks and sounds like an RSi but maybe in a color that isn't silver and with a comfier interior you wouldn't be able to convince me there was any car cooler.
Manual cars are more fun to drive, automatic cars are boring to drive. Everyone should learn to drive manual, it would keep people off their cellphones.
“No automatic is available or wanted” we need more of that nowadays
Sorry to disappoint you(actually, I'm not sorry)! The manual transmission is nearly dead. It's on life support. That's not changing anytime soon.

Even Ferraris and Lamborghinis are using auto trannies these days. Nobody wants stickshift anymore :)
NOBODY KNOWS HOW TO DRIVE MANUAL TRANS ANYMORE... SADLY
@@johnnymason2460 just say you don't know how to drive, that would be easier.
Still driving my 2002 Reflex Silver Turbo S...97000 miles.
I love this little car.
Nice, low miles! 😊
I have a black 2003 turbo s 189k miles bigger turbo lowered and Oz racing wheels, so fun
Wow 6.6 seconds is quite fast.
Such an amazing engine.
Very beautiful and nice this car
My neighbor had one of these!! The alternator blew and he took it into Carmax to trade in for a Nissan Versa Note... these suckers are rare
Saddest thing I’ve read today

Remember the days of the trunk-mounted 6 disc CD changer!!!
But yeah these were great cars, a round GTI, surprisingly quick, and predictable handling.
Hoovie bought one for The Car Wizard, and the Wizard named it Wartortle

Damn i like my beetle. I only wish I had this motor
Just picked one up yesterday :) 209,500 miles
Very nice this little car
No automatic available 😍
That's a deal breaker for me. Even the Audi TT with the same engine eventually got an automatic.
Well slushboxes win in the end🤷🏻♂️
@@johnnymason2460 American moment
@@imnotusingmyrealname4566 Exactly! This is America. We prefer our automatics.
@@johnnymason2460 no, only soccer moms prefer autotragics, they are inferior in every way
Ngl that’s pretty fast for a non RSi Beetle.

That wasn’t available in the US unfortunately 😢

@@Ferraridude13 who wouldn’t want a VR6 AWD beetle with a massive spoiler? 🤔🥴
@@gratigo1 nothing wrong with it in concept. But at $130k it was a bit ridiculous.
