YEAH, IT'S SUPER BEETLE
HERE TO SAVE THE DAY
FROM CRAPPY ECONOMY CARS

HE FIGHTS AGAINST THE YUGOS
AND SMITES THE WICKED MARINA
FROM THE BRITISH LEYLAND REALM

MY HERO :D

I fail to see how this is a car. It is neither obnoxious, nor green.
WE DEMAND MORE OBNOXIOUS GREEN CARS

BUT THAT WOULDNT BE A NEW CHARACTER

It's a bird.

It's a plane!

It's Ronald Weasley's car!

nah that's a ford anglia

Actually, the Super Beetle did have a few more differences from the classic Beetle. Namely, they were either 10 or 18 inches longer to accommodate the bigger front trunk, the suspension was changed for better on-road handling, and in the later 1303 models the windshield was curved. Some Volkswagen fans despise the super beetle, claiming it was a horrible manifestation of the original formula, but I disagree fully on that, and think it was just like any other bug. In fact, the only "negative" is that they can't be turned into a Baja Beetle.

THANK YOU YOU ENORMOUS CAR NERD 8D

but like i said- major difference. i imagine that by and large what most people who used the superbeetle would have noticed above all else was precious, precious AC.

Lol, true! But some standard Beetles had A/C as well, although it's not nearly as common as in the Superbeetle, and it was mostly aftermarket. Yuh, I'm moreso just a nerd for old school Volkswagens. I myself own a 1968 Beetle. :3

i know mexican beetles had AC :o
i've never owned one, never learned to drive. but always loved 'em.

Yuh, love the late model Mexican bugs. <3

Bugs aren't that expensive for a later model that runs. With fairly standard wheels and a faded paint job a Beetle should only run you a couple thousand, which is relatively cheap for a classic car. Wouldn't suggest it if you like the more cushy things in cars though, a stock Beetle is 100% economy car. They squeak, they bounce, the seats are made of woven horsehair covered in a tattered houndstooth leatherette material... But then you see the brighter side of the Beetle. It has far more personality than any car before it, or after it, plus they're REALLY easy to work on. Most problems can be fixed with just basic tools, and they run forever. As said earlier, the Super Beetle will be a little better if you do all your driving on the road, and might cost a little less too, but don't take it to any shows because the snobby vintage purists will just turn their collective noses up at you.D:

also don't take it if there's any signs of rust. :o
mi husbando owned two. first one was good but then he got a 68 superbeetle with a mega rusted out floor. thing was like the flintstone mobile.

Hehe, yeah! I had a '74 Karmann Ghia like that, and the funniest part is that it was even orange. I should have painted leopard spots on it and named it Fred. Wish I woulda' kept it though, Karmanns are quite rare, and they look like a million bucks, plus they have that classic VW reliability. My '68 has some rust holes, but nothing that can't be fixed, just a bit on the doors, a big hole under the rear window (Sucks when it rains! and some on the trunklid. XD

haha poor old bugs, all rusty.
i've heard some amazing stories of how they've been jury rigged. like one that in order to engage the starter, someone had to pull a string they'd rigged out the window back to the engine...
