my fren drove a VW beetle w/ sunroof last time. kept giving him headaches. car moves faster without account and downslope. boot space is bare minimal. noise level is really high. car broke down consistently. but.........its a babe turner. VW beetle w/ sunroof is sure a head turner.

Clogged carbies - either air or fuel isn't flowing regularly.
Cult classics like Beetles and Minis are fine to get if you inspect the car well b4 purchase. Find someone who knows what to look for to help. (Local user group forums come to mind)
Spare parts and aftermarket bits can be found off the net and a few garages here specialise in these classics.
I've met quite a number of Mini owners who use them only as weekend cars. Their week day drives are usually more comtemporary.

old mini have this low profile design but the suspension will kill you if you use it as a daily car...
