It's not a car, It's a Volkswagen Beetle Amazing ride. Riding pleasure is maximum. Superb handling and even without new safety measurements the safety in the cabin is impressive.
Two times rammed and slashed by idiotic road hogs here but still, I'm free of even scratches and Beetle is still low flying.

Thanks Ferdinand Porsche for the  marvelous design.
Pros: Great cornering
good acceleration with mild modifications
Cons: No stock A/C (I don't care)
