My father has a Golf, which I drive regulary, but that's not mine.
I have 944, which is a Porsche but not aircooled.
On other hand 944 is basicly upgraded 924 which is almost Audi, which is close to VW, but again not exactly.

So... I didn't vote images/smilies/smile.gif

My dad has had a bunch of Audis and my mom had a Golf, but I wouldn't say that's enough for me to qualify.

I have two - 2004 New Beetle TDI DSG, 1973 Karmann Ghia. My family has one more, a 2004 Passat 1.8T estate. My girlfriend has an identical 2004 New Beetle TDI DSG. Oh, and a good friend of mine has a 2003 Passat 1.8T saloon. Oh, and my other good friend has a 2003 Jetta GLI VR6, and used to have a 2004 Jetta GLI 1.8T before selling it to buy a 1984 Mercedes 300 turbodiesel.

So yeah, there's always quite a few running around here. images/smilies/smile.gif

Well, thanks! images/smilies/tongue.gif

Personally, I think it's a gorgeous little car, certainly one of the most shapely Italian designs committed to metal. To each his own, of course, re: styling. As for it being a good car? It looks great, has a bulletproof engine and transmission that cost peanuts to run and maintain, has rugged and solid Volkswagen running gear, rear-mounted aircooled engine, front disc brakes on mine (which US market Beetles never got), decent handling, decent performance (for what it is), was completely hand-made with outstanding build quality, and gets pretty good mileage. For what it is, it's a great car. I've had mine for five years, and love it.

It's like a little Porsche 356 with cheaper parts. images/smilies/biggrin.gif
