Time was when Volkswagen Beetles were legendary for their durability, but time and durability standards move on. Here's how to buy a good one
Cascais, Portugal (Wikepedia) The Volkswagen Type 1, more commonly known as the Beetle or Bug, is an economy car produced by the German auto maker Volkswagen from 1938 until 2003. Although the names "Beetle" and "Bug" were quickly adopted by the public, it was not until August of 1967 that VW itself began using the name Beetle in marketing materials in the US. In Britain VW never used the name Beetle officially. It had previously been known only as either the "Type I" or as the 1200 (twelve-hundred), 1300 (thirteen-hundred) or 1500 (fifteen-hundred), which had been the names under which the vehicle was marketed in Europe ; the numbers denoted the vehicle's engine size in cubic centimetres. In 1998, many years after the original model had been dropped from the lineup in most of the world (production continued in Mexico until 2003), VW introduced the "New Beetle" (built on a Volkswagen Golf platform) and bearing a cosmetic resemblance to the original. Its peculiar styling, underpowered motor, rough ride, and high noise levels[citation needed] compared to modern vehicles should have made it a market failure[citation needed]. It was in its day, though, more comfortable and powerful than most European small cars, and ultimately the longest-running and most-produced automobile of a single design (a record that will not take long to be beaten by its younger "cousin" the Type-2 Bus or Kombi, which is still in production in Brazil with the same basic characteristics of the first series). It remained a top seller in the US even as rear-wheel drive conventional subcompacts were refined and eventually replaced by front-wheel drive models. The Beetle car was the benchmark for both generations of American compact cars such as the Chevrolet Corvair and subcompact cars such as the Ford Pinto and Chevrolet Vega. In the international poll for the award of the world's most influential car of the twentieth century the Beetle came fourth after the Ford Model T, the Mini, and the Citroën DS. Starting in 1931 Ferdinand Porsche and Zündapp develop the "Auto für Jedermann" (car for everybody), first time the name "Volkswagen" was used. Porsche already prefered the 4-cylinder Flat 4 engine, but Zündapp used a watercooled 5-cylinder radial engine. In 1932 three prototypes were running [1]. All of those cars were lost during the war; the last in 1945 in Stuttgart during a bombing raid. Porsche Typ 12, 1931/32 by Zündapp Nürnberg In 1933, Adolf Hitler submitted sketches[citation needed] to Ferdinand Porsche of a proposed "Volks-Wagen" ("People's Car"), a basic vehicle that should be capable of transporting two adults and three children at a speed of 100 km/h (62 mph). The People's Car would be made available to citizens of the Third Reich through a savings scheme at 990 Reichsmark, about the price of a small motorcycle at the time (an average income being around 32RM/week). [2] Hitler's commissioning of the "People's Car" did not necessitate a clean-sheet car design. Ferdinand Porsche formulated the original parameters of a car design similar to the final production version of the Beetle several years before it was commissioned, and had built working prototypes by 1931. Erwin Komenda, Porsche's chief designer, was responsible for the design and styling of the car. Production only became financially viable, however, when it was backed by the Third Reich. War broke out before the large-scale production of the "People's Car" could commence and manufacturing capacity was shifted to producing military vehicles. Production of civilian VW automobiles did not start until after the post-war occupation began.

It was designed by Ferdinand Porsche and was originally intended to be a "people's car" that was affordable and easy to maintain. The car quickly became popular in Germany and soon became a global phenomenon, with millions of Beetles being sold worldwide. The Volkswagen Beetle is known for its distinctive design, which features a rounded body and a rear-mounted engine. It has a simple yet robust construction, which makes it easy to repair and maintain. The car is also known for its durability and reliability, which made it a favorite among drivers who needed a car that could withstand rough roads and harsh weather conditions. Over the years, the Volkswagen Beetle has undergone several design changes and upgrades, but it has remained true to its original concept. Today, the car is considered a classic and is a favorite among collectors and enthusiasts. While the original Beetle was discontinued in 2003, Volkswagen has since released a new version of the car, which retains much of the original design but incorporates modern technology and features.
