 I stole this Beetle for $18,000 new! But...the trunk doesn't work and the gas mileage is 14 mpg!  Doc's right about the wind tunnel and Meyer about the lack of lumbar support.  It has no power seats, no power top, no power mirrors, a bad stereo, plenty of spacious blind spots both in the front and rear, starter problems, noisy brakes, and sloppy shifting.  I love its looks and it is fun to drive when it runs. Heck, the $18,000 would make a good down payment on a better car, you know?
