I had a '68 bug and my dad and friends had a whole slew of VW bugs, buses and squarebacks which I spent a lot of time driving and working on. They require a lot of maintenance, are completely gutless, have awful handling and mediocre brakes (not to mention getting easily blown off the road or into the next lane in a windstorm). Combine that with very poor crashworthiness and you have something that I would never recommend to one of my kids. The reasons bugs were popular were that they were cheap, got decent gas mileage, and could be maintained easily by a shadetree mechanic with just a few tools. They are neither reliable nor safe IMHO.
