The original? An absolute classic to look at and horrible to drive. The new one? Looks like the original was stung by bees and forgot it’s EpiPen

what do you mean, classic beetles are a blast to drive

Maybe it was the one I drove - I found myself pushing the steering wheel in a bid to get up a relatively modest incline. I was also quite alarmed by how quickly things were passing me.

Then again, my daily at the time was an RX-8.

thats quite a point of comparison

beetles are fun but arent that powerful, and its an old car so you need to be on top of maintenance.
