It is sad to hear that you are getting stick from anyone at all regardless of who they are!! Its just not cricket. I enjoy seeing all VWs new and old, i guess some people do not. I think if it is still your dream to own and drive your new bug then you should do it for sure, but I have a policy with myself and that is if i dont like something i will avoid it or not do it within reason (i dont like cleaning but i have to). The important aspect of my policy is that it is all about me, and whilst that seems a bit self centered and selfish it is important for eveyone to be happy and doing things i do not like does not make me happy so whats the point? I guess what i am saying is if the bagging you get makes you uncomfortable/unhappy driving the bug then you ought to do what makes you happy and if that means a change then so be it. Unfortunately you cant change the fact that you are effected by negative feedback (its like someone saying to a arachnophobe "its just a spider, it wont kill you!!")
It would be a shame to loose you from the VW sceen so have you thought about the VW golf. They are niiiiice I want the R32 but would be happy to get the gti (because its more affordable)!
Anyway thats just what i think.

I saw my car 12 years ago and wanted to buy it. I bought it last year....That's a long dream.
I'd love a Lancia Aurelia, and I'd put a VW badge on the back so it fits in this post... I'd love a VW996 GT3... or a VW Lamborghini Miura P400, or a VW Daytona, or a VW Vanquish... I love mostly old cars.

Geeez, Don't sell your car just because a few tossers made some crap remarks about it.mscabrio wrote:I bought my dream and loved it to bits, now it has all been spoiled and everytime I see my car I think of all the shit I get about it and I get sad. So I am selling my dream and getting out of the VW scene.
I enjoyed seeing your car and the other NB's at Valla this year, they all looked a treat.
Despite what a few have said, I think the NB's fitted in nicely with the older beetles.
Please keep your car and stick around with us amongest our little vw world.
To all who bagged Mrs cabs car out i think you should all kiss and make up.
All vw's are the same, they all wear the same badge.

Screw em! drive what you like! even if it's not a VW! (did I say that) There's always going to be PPL who will bag the *#it out of the NB. Let them, if you enjoy it who care's, make the most of it! they have their place, just like any other VW, and thats what they are "A Volkswagen"! be proud of it, and get a thicker skin!

mscabrio, If your car makes you feel good who gives a toss what other think it is all about you. I agree with the others, half are probably jealous. It is all about horses for courses, and when you are driving your dream with all the new goodies like air con and power steering comfy seats, smile and hope that the half wits who knocked you are sweating too death! My husband and I are in the process of restoring a 1971 Cabriolet beetle and no doubt to some it will be Oh its a superbeetle, not something else. We also own a Kombi camper and we did all the renovations ourselves and while it is not the best paint job it looks respectible and in my opinion has the best damn functional interior around and looks nice as well. I don't give a rats what people think. We like it. When we came down to Valla and others went and spent their money in the shops we boiled the jug on the cook top and had real coffee. I bet you find the later model Camper vws get bagged just as much, but ooh power steering would be nice as well as a reliable engine. I can,t wait to drive my convertible. Bottom line is if you feel at one with the car keep it. If you can't change the situation (people knocking new beetles) change the way you look at the situation. Pam

Own what ever you like, forget what people say. People might bag my diesel off-road dual cab when its finished but it'll be perfect for me. My wife has limited me to 5 cars if we win lotto . 1. My current 70' dual cab 2. T5 caravelle business VR6 (with 180kw engine package). 3. Manx type buggy. 4. karmann ghia convertible 12second streeter. 5. 23 window split with porsche 997 running gear....yeah baby! These 5 only ad up to about $400,000.
