  1. My dad uses his beetle all year round.
    Loves it. Just wraps up in the winter

  3. Wow, like the pick up, never seen one of them before!

    Thanks for all your replies. I think I have convinced myself to go for it. Company car goes back at the end of the summer so I guess I'll be on the look out for a Beetle. So if anyone knows of anyone selling then let me know :)

    Cheers

  5. my beetle has been my daily driver for 10+ years. yes, it's cold in the winter and hot in the summer but it makes m smile everyday :)

    go for it. you can always sell it, as they won't depreciate like modern cars, and then get a eurobox with the proceeds.

    I ran a beetle as a daily for years, I would sort out the de-misting issue, perhaps a heated screen.

  15. ive had a daily driver beetle for over a year now! never a problem! its awesome! its up for sale too as i need a 5 door for all my work equipment. i drive it 45 each way to work every day and every where else! i love it!

    is in the for sale bit on here. orange 1971 :)
     
  16. Mrs L & S drove one for a number of years as a daily to and from work (25 miles each way) in summer and winter. Heating worked fine, misting was a problem untill the interior warmed up as was defrosting the screen in winter. Cheap insurance, no tax and reasonable mpg. She still misses it now.
     
  17. Done!

    Now the proud owner of a Beetle to get me to work and back :)

    Only annoying thing is I have a broken foot so can't drive it for at least 4 weeks, grrrr!
     
  18. You can take piccies of it with a broken foot though. ;)
     
  19. Fair point Mr Zebedee!
