1967 Volkswagen Beetle VW1500L review from Greece
"If only modern cars had half the character of a Beetle..."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Quite a lot actually, but nothing other than high mileage can be blamed. Definitely the most reliable car I have or will ever own.
General comments?
If your looking for comfort and speed think of getting something else. Now, as far as reliability, economy, safety (yes safety!) and "smiles per mile" goes, the Beetles been number one for the past 4 decades.
