Top 5 Features that Make the Classic VW Beetle a Legend!

[@classicvwbugs]

Another fun beetle video! What are your favorite features to the Classic VW Beetle that make it so iconic? I have come up with 5 of my favorite features of the Classic VW Bug, leave your comments below if I missed anything.

[@msg63bretired82]

My favorite feature is in the winter when you can cough once and fog up the whole windshield because there’s no heat 😁

[@TonyDanger]

My favorite part, growing up in a VW family, was my dad giving me his '67 20 years ago, its still my only car and I drive it every day.

[@bubot17]

To add to that the sound and charm and the way it makes people point and smile, it is a love bug

[@classicvwbugs]

@@bubot17 hell yeah

[@howardsthevenet]

Simplicity (1960 Indigo Blue ragtop), sound, memories of my 1969.

[@romans3.25propitiation]

I love how it reminds me of my time growing up as a kid and the sentimentality it holds tied in with the memories. One of a kind machine....

[@gerardobelink2568]

Another great video. I would say the engine, the sound of the engine and the interior smell are unique in this vehicle. All aircooled VW's are owesome. Thanks for the video. 👍👍

[@johnpoirier5626]

For me, it's the sound of the horn, a simple feature that embodies the personality of the car better than anything else.📯😏

[@raymondchan9802]

The shape alone will make people happy. And taking a drive in a Beetle is always an antidode for deression!😊

[@christopherruff4001]

Definitely the body style! The gorgeous curves on a classic VW beetle makes it one of the most beautiful cars ever designed. The oldest ones are the best looking!

[@javacup912]

My pick? All of the above. Love the beettle.

[@johnurban7555]

Love my 68 shape and functional simplicity. Always get honks,waves!

[@MisterItchy]

My absolute favorite part of my '63 beetle is the rear view mirror. I am literally in love with it.

[@dougpeterson3356]

It's a good thing they were easy to work on. They took a certain amount of tinkering to keep them running after 60 or 70k. Of course you could rebuild it in your driveway over a weekend.

[@spoiler42ify]

Front vent windows!

[@jr.classics6190]

I Personally like the Shape of the Body and the Simplicity. I get thumbs up every time.. it's Awesome... 😊

[@bartgoins1782]

Created the kids' game "Slug Bug." Gave them something to do on long trips. I've owned a 72 Super, 69 Standard, and a Baja (don't remember the year). I loved every one of them.

[@kyridgejumper]

My favorite is the sound of the OG muffler with the muffled tips. Also the glass on the front of the headlights on the older models

[@leos8720]

Best car ever...my father had one...😊

[@TheVWBeetleGuy]

You hit it right on the head i love every aspect of the beetle

[@maziyark.h7277]

I love all features of Beetle I had 3 models of beetles I like them for all time

[@ghflcity]

It's probably only me, but I loved the sound of the clutch pedal after release. I've never heard that sound on another car. Beep Beep!

[@snugbug-n6x]

@ghflcity I know what u are talking about and I like the sound too!

[@onmyworkbench7000]

I have owned over 90 air cooled VW's of different flavors and I think their best feature is that they are very easy to work on. No water pumpers for me.

[@ٴ-ق1ت]

90 bugs is a lot I've only owned 2 with them being a '74 and a '59

[@RickGTI2019]

Nothing else like it ! Thanks, Rick….. 🌴

[@bradbrown8759]

Loved the Bug. Someting from the 70s I saw now and then was the tall hood with the Rolls Royce grill. It seems extinct and forgotten now. I don't know why. It probably doubled the storage space.

[@sugrue8526]

I was born 1966. About 1970 my parents and I were in our light blue beetle at Misquamicut, RI and we got stuck in the beach as the sun went down. Some hippies walked up and said they would give a hand. Dad said ok and went to get out and they closed the door on him, picked up the car and walked us out to the pavement about 10 ft away.

[@anntique56]

Favorite car ever!

[@pieterschijen1111]

All these features together have resulted in not just - according to the standards of the time - a somewhat funny looking car, but into a concept that survived basically unchanged from its early beginnings in 1938 right on to the first years of the 21st century and turned out to be able to put the whole world on wheels and was produced in the vast quantity of more than 21.000.000 units. No other car could equal that to this day…a true historic landmark.

[@bunkie2100]

Passenger capacity. On a night in June, 1973, I got seven of us dressed in tuxedos and prom dresses into my Dad’s ‘70 Beetle.

[@christhompson200]

Like to add....FUN TO DRIVE!!!

[@markbeedy6784]

I like everything about the Beetle. Classic.

[@Queequeg61]

I went backwards off of a fifty foot cliff into a canyon in a bad storm, and walked away from it without a scratch.

[@bendordoy4815]

All of the above is what I love about the classic Volkswagen beetles.

[@MarkLoves2Fly]

I love the Fweep! ❤

[@snugbug-n6x]

To me all u mentioned are the key characteristics of Beetles. After getting a relatively very new manual car which has 6 speeds and 150 + hp, I now believe a very important reason and characteristic of the original bugs charm and mechanical success is the low hp with its 4 rangey gears. 50 or 60 plus hp is ample and sufficient to get about. Actually it is perfect ! 150 plus is a crazy amount. TOO much. 50 to 60 is just right.

[@classicvwbugs]

Excellent comment, thank you! =)

[@larrykapp3409]

motor over drive wheels great traction in mud and snow. Our family has 4.

[@kathat4235]

Had to laugh... aerodynamic? Um... not so much... It slows when coasting downhill. But still love it! I've had mine for over 40 years.

[@sirswerve2493]

Aftermarket support. Engineering. simplicity. practicle.

[@STOLSPEED]

The nimble handling of that very light weight. Especially with radial tires on the rear wheels.

[@MichaelHughes-x7o]

My first car was a beetle and I would kill for another one Mike now 63

[@joemazzola7387]

The super hot heater ....lol I had a type 3 heater sucked but it was great in snow with the engine over the drive wheels just like modern front wheel drive

[@johnurban7555]

I get heat when I drive 500miles south.

[@thejonegcle7759]

'77 bug never ever got stuck in the snow, thin tires, lightweight body ... could have used a better heater

[@861-k1t]

The bug was a car that people could buy, they were simple and most times reliable. The heat in the winter was a little cruel . The ones that i knew of with AC never wotked for long. The thing is that the bug could get you to and from and was reliable transportation. The supper Beatles were good but not as good as before. Many older bugs became Doom buggies

[@handyandyaz2567]

The smell. Horse hair, vinyl, old and carbureted gas. I wish there was a candle....

[@johnfeliciano585]

Air cooled engines

[@toothbrush5190]

That Jay drove one.

[@cnorton1us]

Funny thing, at the end of the video an ad played for the complete antithesis of the Beetle: the Hummer EV. Huge, heavy, expensive, complicated, likely to be completely unreliable, and with the aerodynamics of a brick, the least efficient EV you can buy 😀

[@MisterItchy]

Is this like an AI version of your voice?

[@Alberto-hp9mf]

yeah, previous video as well i’m pretty sure

[@lafdra94]

AI generated voice?????

[@classicvwbugs]

@@lafdra94 nah, just reading a script and taking out uhhms and uhs.

Ok

Please stop using AI thumbnails, they look terrible

[@classicvwbugs]

@@HansGurke44 the CTR is pretty good with them though.

[@HansGurke44]

@@classicvwbugs Well, I think with the right videos the clicks would come without AI thumbnails...

[@classicvwbugs]

@@HansGurke44 it's actually the other way around. You can have a great video, and a crap thumbnail and just not get the views. This is all experimental, when you are a creator, you have to try new things, new tech in today's world. I have been creating on yt for 18 years, there always comes a time for change. I appreciate the feedback, thank you 👍
