Answers
1)   yes of course it is. - ec123456789able

2)   Sounds pretty sweet! My first car was a VW and they are very reliable and will run forever if you take care of it. Maybe we should auction one of those on our site www.dealdash.com!

Enjoy it! I'd say you picked a winner! - Dave Dealdash

3)   I would hope you know what you're expecting. You did test drive it before you bought it didn't you?

It's based on the old model Passat so I hope you got a good discount and I doubt it'll have much in the way of performance with only 140bhp given the weight of the thing, but again, if you drove it you'll know what to expect. - EvelynThe ModifiedDog.

4)   I drive an 06 plate Passat and its been very good, extremely comfortable and great for both long and short journeys. The only things to watch for are faulty injectors on the 2.0 ltr diesels across the whole VW/Audi range, in worst cases this presents itself as a sudden loss of power or the feeling of a misfire. Also, oil leaks on the inter-cooler. On the 2006/07 cars the alloy wheels are starting to corrode under the lacquer - look for `whitish' trails under the paint - will cost about £100 per wheel to re-finish. As far as I know 2.0 ltr petrol engines are no particular trouble as long as they are well maintained. The CC is a great looking car and if secondhand, as long as you have full service history should be good for at least 150,000 miles. If its brand new then I envy you because I want one - Huge

5)   If you ain't looking for a Sedan that kind of similar to Bugatti C-16 "Galibier" Concept, Its name is a historical reference to the Bugatti Type 57 Galibier.

Well... à mon avais, this big Comfort VW sedan would be a good option for city dwellers just like the Aston Martin Cygnet, a very small car that tailor fit for fast changes city environment and not compromising luxury.

6)   Bit late now it's on it's way to start wondering what it's like! - J G

7)   Come on, your just having a little boast, one of the best looking cars on the road and you know it ! - L G

8)   So, you are basically bragging, right? What do I think? Is it worth stealing? Only for a customer who wants it, because I don't. - Do the Math

9)   An excellent choice - any knocker is biased - in the words of one magazines car tester, you are getting a very well sorted car for your money. I am sure you have spent your money wisely and will be perfectly happy with your choice.

PS Though i have driven one a fair bit my own car is a BMW530D so i have no axe to grind one way or the other. - COLIN T

Question 2
Why do we tag people when we see a Volkswagen Bug?...  We see one and tag somebody and shout "BLUE ONE!" or "GREEN ONE"! Why do we do it? Is it because those cars look so different and rather funny?

Answers
1)   That's actually exactly why.
I still do it now if I'm with a friend and I see a silver Volkswagon I yell "Punch buggy silver" and punch them.
Honestly I have no idea why we do it it's a game that has been around for awhile now so we just tell the next generation and pass it on. That's how I figured out about it when I was a kid my uncle taught it to me.
It's always fun though after punching your friend watching your friend looking everywhere for another Volkswagon bug to get you back with! - Joey

2)   Slug bug, which is what we called it back in the day, started in the early sixties when VW bugs were an unusual sight. Most of the time it was between siblings stuck in the back seat on long car trips. For my brother and I the primary goal was to drive the rents insane (it worked really well...."don't make me stop this car") - rk

3)   We dont in UK we just call it a bag of crap ! - L G

4)   Its actually both different & funny looking thing. - A U M

5)   You tag them? I just wave. And they wave back. VW got the name "Beetle or Bug" when they first entered the country. This was meant as a put down term or derogatory term for German made car; as it was just after the war and it was English longshoremen who gave the car its "nick name".
That was a nickname that stuck as endearing to the owners that had bought them. They were always recognized as "Type 1" by the factory and the registration. The term "Beetle" did not officially surface until the 1973 SuperBeetle(the one with the curved windshield and struts) along side the production of the regular "Type 1" 2 dr sedan.
The English were confident they had the North American market with their imported cars. Their MGB's, Triumphs, Vauxalls, Austin, Morris, Morris Minor, Standard, Ford Prefect, Jaguar, Sunbeam, Rileys, Ford Zephyr, Hillman and Rolls Royce; plus the French had Renault, Citroen and Peugeots,Italy -Fiat. I know I have missed a few.
Maybe that was due to the fact they spent every second day in the mechanical repair shop.
Mechanics have families to feed too.
Check out English style town-sites(that pay attention to what goes on in jolly old England).
Victoria, BC in Canada was very British orientated. My dad bought the first VW (Type1) from the first VW dealership on the West Coast. There was so few of the cars on the road (we were like a small family who drove an ugly car). The cars always worked and out climbed any other vehicle (including US. vehicles) in the snow(which rarely falls on the island). They just kept running and never leaked oil. English cars "always" leaked and broke down. It was expected to. - Do the Math

Question 3
are old vw bugs safe?...  are 1967 volkswagen bugs safe?

Answers
1)   No. There's a video on YouTube of an old VW Beetle doing a head on crash test. I'm at work so I can't post the link but you'll find it. I like old VW Bugs, and would like to have one as a fun car, but I would never let my kids drive it. - Robert

2)   LOL, why wouldn't it be, other than a head on, if it is in good mechanical shape? I was laughing because there is an old story I heard about VW's and the back seat. The battery should be underneath it, you might want to put some type of rubber over the terminals to prevent them from touching the seat when bouncing on it. I have heard they catch fire, and driving over bump is not the only way I have heard this happen. LOL. - TeQuest

3)   They can be made safe.
Install a roll cage along with 5 point seat belts.
A Chenowth class 11 style cage will cost about $200 and is easy enough to install if you have a welder or a friend who welds.

As far as today's standards, they do not have air bags and do not do well in front end collisions, but most old cars don't hold up to today's standards.

I drive a 1973 VW Thing daily and it seems safe enough to me. I did build a roll cage for it and it does have 5 point seat belts in all 4 seats.

I have owned many old bugs and have loved them all. I have never been in an accident in a bug, but I have rolled a vw based buggy and it held up just fine. My wife and I walked away without a scratch. - Rod Knocker

4)   Not really. There was really very little, if any, safety innovation back in the 60's when it came to cars. Its not only the Beetles. Most cars from that era follow suit. - Car freak

Question 4
mixing antifreeze, adding green to pink?...  adding green antifreeze to pink antifreeze in a car

Answers
1)   No you can't do it and have good results.

Never the twain should mix.

Pink with pink,
Green with Green. - Briano

2)   I have often pondered this point and do not see that it can make any difference. You already have one type mixed with water and if you add another type with water, even if they do not mix, surely they still work as they are both antifreeze. I do not know but that is my thoughts. - navi

3)   The archaic, green coolant contains sulfates that react negatively with aluminum and plastics and neoprene (that's your engine gaskets). Don't mix them. However, you can use the Prestone extended life, all makes-all modes. It is a light green and is compatible with your pink stuff. - straight shooter

4)   Only use the G11, G12, or G13 depending on what it says on the tank. Volkswagens are very very picky about what you feed them. Unless you like replacing heater cores, I suggest spending the couple extra dollars now.

Put premium fuel in too. - Nick

Question 5
How do Volkswagen Jettas perform in the snow?...  I'm looking to get a new car and i looooove Jettas but i've heard that theyre bad in the snow. Is this true?

Answers
1)   Hey bro u lookin kinda fat but yeah volkswagen Jettas work well in the summer. - Stop Calling me fat

2)   well first of im happy to someone likes a car that actually is good. my friend has a 92 jetta front wheel drive and as long as it has snow tires its alright. and were in wisconsin so WE DO GET SNOW...i heard the 4 motion is at the top of the 4 wheel drive competition so if your looking for a jetta for snow...get a 4 motion - Josh S

3)   I assume you are talking about buying a used older one...

I had a 1996 Jetta two years ago and it was great in the snow. It's a pretty light car so make sure you have some all-seasons with plenty of tread or a set of winter tires.

Last winter I drove a 2008 with no problems either, it's much heavier which makes it way better than the 1996 was.

This year I have a 1997 Jetta with the vr6. Winter is gonna be a blast. - Nick

4)   It all depends on "how you drive" and "the tires you got on the car". In the snow, the most performance you want is getting from point A to point B without landing in the ditch. Right?
I had an early one and I got some slightly used snow tires for it. It was just terrible. I feared rises or slight grades in the snow covered road. Then I bought some new winters the next year. (No particular brand-for me cheap is a good brand) and did not have a problem going up or down any hill. Almost like a snowmobile. The engine weight is over-top of the driving wheels. How can that not be good? - Do the Math
