They go anywhere. Great for parking places, narrow roads, and snow. The rear wheel drive just keeps you moving down the road. They do great! The only challenge is they are narrow, so they don't fit perfectly in other cars tracks in the snow, but they are super and you just keep your momentum going down the road and so will you. I never got stuck and I have had many Volkswagons. VW Bugs, especially the Super Beetles because they are alittle bigger. I got studded tires for mine which really helped give it that extra grip when driving on really icey roads or well packed freeways. If you ever need to get it jumped to start a dead battery, just put it in neutral and have someone push it about 30 feet and pop the clutch and your off to the races. I did this for about 4 guys crammed in an old beetle after a BB game at the college. It makes me laugh to think about how much fun those unique cars were. Yes, you trade defrost for any kind of heat to stay warm. And I have even scraped a fine mist of ice off the inside of the windshield on occasion, but those little cars have heart, and you will have great memories if you ever own one. Good Luck!

I loved my Bug when i bought it, it only had 48000 miles she died with well over 225000 miles on her. I took out the back seat built a riser over where the seat was and made it all even in the back. I then took a peace of four inch foam and covered it with a big old quilt and through some big pillows in the corners my friends loved it. My girl friend did to. I really loved that car and I never got stuck in the snow. I am now looking for another one that's what brings me to your Ebay site!

More than occasionally, perhaps. We wake up in the foothills of the Rocky Mountain Front Range one day and under the California Redwoods another, Florida for Thanksgiving and Pennsylvania for Christmas. It's tight, but life is best lived outside anyway, in my opinion. I'd recommend it to anyone who thinks they could handle small space and lots of outdoors, but only if they're willing to get their hands greasy adjusting valves and messing with oily engine parts on a rather regular basis. :) I live in a VW Bus, a ‘78 Riviera Campervan, with my son and occasionally my girlfriend and her dog.
