Why should car people need opinions any more than anybody else?

BTW, Beetles have been ugly since their inception.

b4 i answer that, first tell me if you're a guy or a girl.
If your a guy, i would like to know your sexual preference. Based on the above data, I will give you my comments. Thank you.

if you're her only source of light on cars, i'd say she's swimming in some pretty deep sh|t without an oar

I would get a Miata if I was a chick

A white Cabriolet if I was a lesbian chick

I guess a beetle would be my 3rd choice

I like the way they look, particularly the light green ones.

Depending on which version you get, it can be pretty quick, the Turbo, or get great mileage, the Diesel, or get something inbetween, a regular one.

People I know that have one think it's great. I think the only demographic group that it doesn't appeal to is male virgins.(90% of Anandtech members)

For a German car they see to have reliability problems.

I am waiting to buy this baby

A hetero, male friend of mine got one of these a few years back when they had just come out...Being in it was pretty fun just as being in one of the old Bugs was always pretty fun...

I'm sure the novelty wears off quick though 🙂

Anyhow, the 1.8t engine is available--obviously the same 1.8t in other VW's--so I assume that it could be reasonably quick...

BTW, if she's a hot girl, I'd recommend the Cabrio...hot girls always seem to drive the Cabrio 🙂
