my college car, fairly unreliable but the most loved of all the cars i have owned. Cool to wave to other beetle drivers and go to the Bug jams at santa pod. Plus all the parking up in fields dancing to hardcore! great memoriesMar 23, 2010

Umm, I love this car so much. My Grandpa bought it in Baguio when He was working there (BIR). The Beetle's name is BEE and this is the first car I drove at the streets even if there's no aircon. hehe :))) Mar 15, 2010

Like all Beetles the performance of the 1600 CC boxster engine was bad. Even worse the main bearings failed twice. Two rebuilt engines in less than 6 months, whilst doing National Service, that was painfull.
The best looking Beetle ever produced, it had a curved front windscreen and a dashboard, unlike the flat dash of the traditional Beetles. Later I fitted a Kombi 2.0L motor to it. That made it lethal bud sadly sold it to buy a motorcycle as I could no longer afford the fuel bill. Jul 19, 2009

not practical with the two kids but perfect with the hubbys early mid life crisis and genuine boyhood fantasy.
drove like a dream and looked like a purple goddess, full of all the original features except heating, but that was sacrificed for performance and a beast of an engine. was the second love of hubbys life, after the dog!!!!!!!!!!!!!
shame shes gone but better to have had and experienced than dream about foreverSep 15, 2008
