I still remember why VW got my heart and mind.
We had many American RWD cars as I was growing up.
we lived on a hill, fairly steep when its covered in snow.

the Beetle was a tank, it never let me down on getting out of the neighborhood (we had hills in both directions)

Then the VW rabbit showed up...FWD was an amazing invention.
Again....a snow beast IMHO

I think the FWD with actual heat...that got me forever into the VW/Porsche/Audi family.

If you remember the beetle had a towel rack over the glove box...
That was defrost.
Yes, I still have two...64/71
