It　may　not　be　much　to　look　at.　But　beneath　that　humble　exterior　beats　an　air-cooled　engine.　It　won‘t　boil　over　and　ruin　your　piston　rings.　It　won’t　freeze　over　and　ruin　your　life.　Its　in　the　back　of　the　car　for　better　traction　in　snow　and　sand.　And　it　will　give　you　about　29　miles　to　a　gallon　of　gas.

After　a　while　you　get　to　like　so　much　about　the　VW,　you　even　get　to　like　what　it　looks　like.

You　find　that　there‘s　enough　legroom　for　almost　anybody’s　legs.　Enough　headroom　for　almost　anybody‘s　head.　With　a　hat　on　it.　Sung　fitting　bucket　seats.　Doors　that　close　so　well　you　can　hardly　close　them.　They’re　so　airtight,　its　better　to　open　the　window　a　crack　first.

Those　plain,　unglamorous　wheels　are　each　suspended　independently.　So　when　a　bump　makes　one　wheel　bounce,　the　bounce　doesn‘t　make　the　other　wheel　bump.　It’s　things　like　that　you　pay　the　$1　585　for,　when　you　buy　a　VW.

The　ugliness　doesnt　add　a　thing　to　the　cost　of　the　car.

Thats　the　beauty　of　it.
