  2. Questions, Issues or Problems with the New Beetle
    Hi! So I'm looking to buy a reliable car that can take me to and from work and college. Beetles have always been a dream car of mine. Right now I drive a 2001 Chevy Tracker. I love the car but it's a beater with a heater and I wanted to look at something that would handle the highway a bit...
