VW doesn’t seem to have anything the same price bracket.

I dig the little golf. Even drive one locally. Cheap, nippy and easy to park in an otherwise saturated Cape Town and surroundings. It is not my Audi in terms of luxury, never be as safe and will never drive that confortable, but heavens, you can’t fault the utter convenience. I choose my bike first, then the Golf and only for miserably far journeys, the bigger car.

But yeh, not safe, small and archaic. I will miss them, though. Is VW replacing it in that market segment with something else?

A VW Beetle is a classic. Look after it – those belong to an era when cars were made to last 50 years plus.

Whateva. I drive a 1971 VW 1600 beetle, Made the same year I was born. My Jalope is still going strong & I would,nt change her for anything. All cars have their problems. Look after it by servicing regularily and you wont be sorry. Proud VW owner
