1998 Volkswagen Beetle review from Austria
"Expensive, but funny"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Air condition had to be renewed after 2 years.
Electric powered right window out of order same year.
General comments?
This car is very quick because of "Chip Tuning" (now 115hp instead of 90hp,
the torque has increased from 210Nm
up to 250NM).
