2.0 gas sipper
Justin had a 98 five speed 2.0 Beetle. He got it when he was 19 and stationed near Pensicola (sp?) going to school in the Marine Reserves. He abused the heck out of it for the first 100,000 miles or so, THEN started taking care of it. He let Gloria keep it when the divorced and last I knew of it, she was still driving it with nearly 300,000 miles on it. That 2.0 isn't the most powerfull engine VW ever built, but it's tough!
