I initially chose my car for the style, as I wanted something cute and unique while still being energy and space efficient as well. That's pretty much what I got! I've driven almost 100,000 miles in my car and have only had two major repairs, so it's quite reliable. I feel like it drives the same at 90k as other cars have at 50k. Beyond that, it's just fun to drive. I loaded the back with stickers that might look tacky on another car but work here because of the iconic body. I sometimes have RPM issues accelerating quite quickly or uphill, but generally my car runs smoothly if just a little bit loudly. I get maybe 25 mpg, which could be better but certainly isn't terrible. I'd definitely buy a more energy-efficient version of this car, a hybrid or even electric, if it became available. Some of the greatest things about the car is being able to use Bluetooth to play music from my phone, though I do wish the radio was a little more advanced. It's quite simple compared to newer cars, but that's really just a reflection of the time it was produced. It still functions pretty well. The manual, however, is a little hard to deal with. I've had to always look up things about my car (not just the radio, but anything) online because the user manual gave pretty much no information. Overall, though, this was a great first car for me to own. I feel like I can really make it my own even if it's not perfect, and that's what's important to me.

My little blue beetle. Oh how I loved my little blue beetle. This car was something that I always wanted but totally not my style. It looks like a preppy kind of case and I am totally not a preppy kind of girl. The car drove wonderful!!! I felt like everybody looked at me when I drove by because of my beautiful car. But I am sure it was just in my mind. Loved everything about it. The way it looked. The radio in it I loved. The inside of the car to me was beautiful. It was a great beach car with friends. To me its totally a girly type of car. I thought the car preformed wonderful but it didn't drive fast. That is why I would say its not a Man type of car. I guess the only other I would that wasn't the best is the size of trunk I could not put that many bags in the trunk when I went food shopping and go shopping for others things could not do everything in the same time. I also loved the color blue for the car it was my little blue beetle. Yup I nicked name my car. I even made a plate with that name and put it in the window of my little blue beetle.
