I drive my 66 to work and back every day! They are great cars for "Around Town" driving and IMHO perfect for a youngster.
They are inexpensive to register, insure and maintain. All 3 of which are important concerns to a young person that is just experiencing the world of vehicle ownership.
Personally I would look for a 69/70/71 as a daily driver. Stay away from models with a sunroof as they are prone to leaking and it is hard to find people that really know how to repair/maintain the sunroof mechanism.
I am a Factory Trained VW Tech and worked on them on a daily basis for almost 15 years before moving over to FedEx. If you have any other questions give me a PM.
