Opinions on the VW Beetle?

a cute
girls fucking love them

the new ones are really nice
i'm a dude and i'd drive one as long as i had another car

The few ones I had a chance to test were in pretty bad conditions to be quite honest, so I can't really tell. They seem pretty resistant to time from what I've been able to gather, and the repair/part cost isn't high where I live, but I wouldn't have one.

all my nostalgia.
My father's former co-worker has a 71 Bug that he takes to old air cooled VW events. I got to ride in it when I was like 7.
I love beetles. Even the new ones, which is odd. I can't stand the Golf, but I love the FWD Beetles.

I was surprised when he told me he got $6k trade-in after the car was appraised. Also, what's the difference in Euro and US spec beetles?

IIRC, the main difference is bumpers and lights.

beetles had a heater
they just ran heat in a way that caused the car to rust.
heat+steel+wet salty water=no heat

Fun to put around town in.

I understood that reference.

Very reliable. It does have a heater (just bring towels to wipe fog). Low part cost is also a huge plus. Heaping amount of info on how to repair and tune.

Corvair is superior
