If I didn't have three kids to drive around I would love a VW Beetle! A red convertible one.
Here's some more information on them.
2009 Volkswagen Beetle Review - Edmunds.com
Seems like the biggest complaint is that they're relatively unchanged since the Beetle was reintroduced in 1998. German cars are good though and reliable. If I were looking to purchase one, I might go with one that is a couple of years old just to save a little $$ since a brand new one will decrease in value as soon as you drive it off the lot.
