Bringin this thread back from the dead, lol.

I think the fact that the car has HUGE aftermarket. Comparable to that of a Civic, only, the stuff for a Beetle isn't junk like pbnoxious spoilers and retarded body kits with vents, etc. The ratio of crap to useful is alot more in teh favor of useful.

Also, cheap. Brake kits that are worth a damn on imports are $$$$$. I can get Porsche brakes for the same amount, and in the end will see a better performance result.

Also, performance is alot more exponential IMO. Simple HP. And it's noticeable because of the low power:weight ratio. You appreciate the money and work more when you can see differences and results.

Not to mention, a GL beetle looks sicker than anything. I would take a nice GL Beetle over a Porsche anyday.....
