    One of the most practical and iconic cars built ever. How could anyone not like the Beetle? Used to see so many of these. And that air-cooled engine! I would still love to get one.

    I had a 1600 in '70 that I picked up in Frankfort and drove around a couple of thousand miles touring Europe finishing off in Paris. From there I shipped it home to NY and flew home. It was all prearranged by a tourist agency. I loved that car.

    My first car in high school was a '76. Loved that car and drove it until my sophomore year in college when it started to have problems and I simply couldn't afford to maintain it so I sold it to a buddy for $800. I vowed I would have another one when I had the money. Years later...and after a milestone birthday I saw him....a 1978 Convertible with a for sale sign at the side of the road. We have been together ever since. I still wish I had my old '76 back too.

    Mine never had a problem producing enough heat. It actually warmed the cabin faster and hotter than any other car. Too many mechanics do not attach the air hoses correctly and adjust the flaps correctly. There is nothing wrong with the design of the heating system. The same fan that cools the engine blows monsterous amounts of hot air into the cabin, after it passes over the engine, and though the heat exchangers wrapped around the exhaust pipes, where the air is heated even more before it blows almost painfully hot into the passenger cabin. If a paper hose is missing, if the flaps at the end of the heat exchangers are not adjusted properly, if the flaps are not lubricated maybe once every few year, they may get stuck in the closed position, and heat won't get into the cabin. Very easy repair. The flaps could use a drop of oil in 1 or 2 places. The heat exchangers rust through after about 150,000 miles (240.000 klilometers) and some of the hot air will not get to the cabin. They can be easily replaced, or even patched up. Even with small leaks in the heat exchangers, the cabin still gets very hot. My van did not have enough power, but the beetle had plenty. No problem getting onto limited access highways or passing slow-moving traffic. And car would go 80 mph for 10 hours without overheating. Van would only go 65. The valves needed adjustment once every 6,000 miles I think it was. Spark plugs needed replacement I think at 12,000.. Timing needed adjustment every 6000 because car had distributor points which changed the timing as they wore down. Easy jobs to do but you had to do them. Carburetor needed adjustment - air-fuel mixture and idle speed, that was it. Jets needed to be cleaned out with compressed air and every 30,000 miles or so you would need to replace the diaphragm that pumped in extra fuel when accelerating. If you adjusted the mixture correctly the engine and fuel pre-heating tube would not get carboned up, ever. However the engine would only last 100,000 miles before the number three cylinder would suck a valve. Exhaust valve would stretch, break, and get sucked into the cylinder. It would damage the piston, cylinder, and connecting rod. But you would be warned before that happened when adjusting the valves, as you would see the valve lash starting to get smaller instead of larger. If you took off the heads soon after you saw the lash shrinking, you could recondition the heads and the engine would not have any expensive broken parts that needed replacement. You could simply replace the exhaust valves, resurface the valve seats and the intake valves, adjust everything, and you would be good to go.

I wonder why my country Malaysia no longer imported the car as it has many fans here. Usually the classic Beetle are owned by college students as they could not afford to own new cars. My uncle's brother in law, a school teacher used to own a Beetle and remained in his home until he died.

    Engineering is all about the most output with the least amount of input. In that respect, VW beetles were technical and engineering masterclass vehicles. Simple design, rear air-cooled engine (no heavy and problematic radiator) and constant advancement in the car's technical progress and quality. That wonderful little automobile put a great nation back on track to prosperity. The VW beetle represented true "Vorsprung durch technik".

    In Mexico, an assembly line worker makes more in an hour than an outside laborer makes all day. New Beetle production, notice more robots and automation, also a much cleaner factor with better lighting and clean uniforms for the workers.

    I always liked the Super Beetle with the curved windshield in about 1972. Had a fan-forced heater also, as I recall. The 5mph bumper mandate of 1974? killed the Beetle in the USA.

    A few quick comments: VW was offered for free by the British to any major auto firm that wanted it; no takers. Unlike other companies, the Allies completely changed the company from its WW2 roots. My friend's 1968 Beetle was by far the best made car I've ever seen, and that includes RR and MBenz. The basic VW design was dreadful, unsafe, with an awful highway boom sound with the windows down, and no A/C to allow closing the windows. But, it was made exquisitely and was easily repaired.

    Correct. I believe it was offered to Roots Motors UK. They derided it and lived to regret it. Anyway probably in British ownership it would never have been a great success - without doubt !

    I liked how dispite its age VW just modernized it enough to keep improving it without drastically changing anything. I wonder what improvements would have been added in the 20 years since 2003 if production hadn't ended. More safety tech features maybe, basic digital dials/displays... A simple easy to use touch screen on the dash , electric Windows, romote central locking, LED lights etc. Little things like that to keep it up to date while maintaining its charm.

    Power windows are unreliable and almost everything you mentioned, your ideas would have ruined the car. The more gadgets the more trouble and especially when the car gets some age on it. The idea is to keep it simple, if you want gadgets then buy a BMW. Few older BMW's on the road for sure but plenty oil cooled VW's out there and people keep fixing them and driving them.

    Hay muy pocas piezas que son muy caras,chafas y escasas,sin mencionar que son muy fáciles de robar e incluso el motor va montado con sólo tres tornillos,eso si que al contrario de lo que piensa la gente su mecánica es compleja no como lo piensa la gente que con un desarmador y unas pinzas haces magia y lo arreglas en 5 minutos,en el manual te marca que tiene más de 150 tuercas y no se cuantos tornillos de diferentes medidas y tamaños,el que le haya hecho un ajuste completo al motor bóxer de volkswagen sabe de lo que estoy hablando igual que el karmann ghia.

    The Beetle was also produced in Yugoslavia, in a car manufacturer called "TAS" (Tvornica automobila Sarajevo). You can recognize it's a Yugoslavian one because it had a J mark. For example 1200J.
