My first bug was a 1969. My hubby and I also own a Jaguar F series and a Ram Laramie Dually. We also own a bug cause I wanted to go retro. My bug is a convertible with stick shift and TDI series. It’s so easy to drive around, great mileage and comfort. I will trade it in ONLY if VW comes out with a electric......

Car hestitates significantly when starting from a standstill. A service guy said it's due to chain driven transmission. It sucks...a safety issue potentially if you had to get out of the way. Crummy mileage on high test. Very noisy interior. Tires very noisy after rotation. Rear seat non existent.
