If you don't listen to any other warnings, heed this: stay FAR away from the automatic transmission

Personally, I think they aren't worth their prices and while they get good fuel economy, it doesn't pencil out.
Bummer, my wife is very practical and will not insist on a beetle... but I know she would be all giggles if I showed up with one.

Does the automatic trans the same on the gas model too? Should we only look at a stick?

Was sure looking forward to 45MPG they claim... what MPG does the gas beetle of the same era get?
