I own a 1998 Mexican beetle which I’ve had for almost a decade. I have owned 4 other Volkswagens in the past but they have all been watercooled, all of them were GTIs. My first one was a mk4 GTI 337 edition, then I had a first year mk5 GTI, and my last was a 2 door Reflex Silver mk7 GTI. I’ve done most of the mechanic work on my current beelte which has been a great learning experience.
