As for safety, on Jan 23rd, my wife's 2003 New Beetle Turbo was involved in an accident. She got out of the car UNINJURED. Here's a picture of the car after the accident:
Yes, the car flipped over - in a freakish accident, a Camry pushed her into the curb, causing the car to get unsettled and finally flipping over onto its roof.
Kim got out of the car
without a scratch on her. The roof structure, though caved in, still held up very well. Not happy it flipped, but it was a freak accident - she wasn't travelling more than 40mph, and the Camry darted out into her. She was wearing her seatbelt, which had a lot to do with the fact that she wasn't injured.
We are looking to replace her totalled car, and one of the front runners to replace her car is another New Beetle, possibly a convertable one this time.
-Z-man.
