I would think a later Super Beetle would be superior to a "regular" Beetle, but Tim seemd to imply they are no good for Baja Bugs.
Alot of people think that. The strut front suspension while "better" when new tends to wear out quicker than the standard beetles beam suspension. A standard Beetle has a simpler and stronger front suspension.

I think for a street car the Super would be okay but I have heard rumor that even those have issues. But I don't know for sure. My Beetle is allergic to asphalt.

EDIT: Seriosly, send it to me.
