I have had no problems with this car after all this time.
This car has been the most reliable car that I have ever owned. This car is fast, and a great running car. The only reason that people think that these cars are bad is because so many Americans think that these cars can run forever without any maintenance. As long as you do routine maintenance on the Bug, it will last you forever. People just need to stop being stupid and spend an hour or so a week and just do what needs to be done to their cars. If you keep that up then you will have a great running and cool looking Volkswagen.
Are you sure you are talking about a 1966 Type 1? Test question: where is the engine, front or back?
The review was written almost five years ago. Any response you get is going to be from someone pretending to be the reviewer.
What 1966 VW would have the engine in the front?
