As far as most people are concerned, a Beetle isn’t on most people’s “must-drive” list. However, after reading Brendan McAleer’s “Five Reasons to Drive a ‘Super’ Beetle,” that opinion is likely to change. As the article’s title suggests, McAleer lays out five straightforward and convincing reasons to find a way to get behind the wheel of a Super Beetle as soon as possible. And thankfully, as the article observes, the Super Beetle isn’t so rare that driving one is a dream unlikely to come true; rather, these cars were “a ubiquitous feature of the motoring landscape of the ‘60s and ‘70s” and thus many are still around.
And as a vestige of a bygone era, the Super Beetle comes with a storied history, which McAleer posits is enough to motivate car buffs and history buffs alike to track one down, along with the “near-endless well of stories” that come with it.
Of course, it’s not just the history that provides allure to this model. As the article astutely points out, this is a car driver’s car – and it goes fast. The Super Beetle is not only super in name but is super fun to drive as well, providing something that everyone – from amateur drivers to experienced ones. If you didn’t know about or didn’t want to drive a Super Beetle before reading this article, you surely will afterward.
