RWD cars were phased out for a reason. Only impractical women and gay men continued using them after the FWD drivetrain became preferable. They didn't know any better, but you should if you're a normal man.

>>17113947

Isn't that the death trap which throws the engine on your lap if you crash into something

Not to the drivers. It just became cheaper to manufacture with unibodies and subframes.

It's however built like a tank and is built with love so it's reliable even after 25+ years.

Pic related, a friend has one as a weekend car, it's absolute bonkers.

>produces 29hp max
>has moped-tier wheels

>Cheap
That example would fetch almost 10k here
If you want to spend less than $3k you're replacing floor pans and repainting it, minimum.

>>17118109
There is nothing cheap about type 1s or Super Beetles.

You will pay fucking 8-15k for a good example. 20k for a pristine one.

My dad and I bought it with the body restored in Cali and had it trucked here to WI. We just recently rebuilt the engine because part of a valve guide somehow got inside the cylinder.

It runs very nice now, but I leaned on a fender when we were dropping the engine and opened up a big crack the guy didn't weld. And when we were raising it back up, it dented and chipped the paint of the middle apron thing below the hood.

>>17117978
What car?

>>17119317
I forgot to say, it was like $4500.

PT Cruiser. Slow, cheap, roomy, and fun as fuck to abuse. <150hp and no torks. With a 5-speed manual, they are actually pretty fun all-around. Not THAT bad on gas, like 25-26 avgMPG.

>>17119421
You are very lucky.

I live in the midwest so if I want one I have to buy from Cali through a classic car dealer.

>>17119598
A lot of stuff had to be fixed. Thing is, it's a '69 and they don't make reproduction front turn signal lenses for that year. We ended up finding them randomly in a free parts box at an air cooled VW festival.

>>17119624
I have a savings account I put a few hundred bucks in every couple months.

Going to start looking for a '63 when I have about 12-15k

Right up until it breaks. And it WILL break spectacularly, because VW.

That was an option, sadly my third gen doesn't have it so I can't say. From what I've heard, some say it feels more like a RWD in corners but others say it just improves handling. It's a mixed bag
