I learnt to drive in a 1969 VW beetle,
then my (our) next two cars where Karman Ghia's. Loved them, and if I could afford a restored one, I would.

Currently drive a Scion Xa, my little putt putt.

I had to google the Scion
It's a bit boring.

The Karmann Ghia though is well cool. A normal person's porsche.

My Scion is all of the win!
But fuck...I so badly want a convertible Karman Ghia. The Scion does get 31/37 per gallon, though!

Horses for courses, I'm sure the Scion suits your needs.
the consumption figures, are they kilometres or miles per gallon?

My boring Mondeo does 51mpg.

Miles per gallon.
Stop showing off!

Putt putt is pretty damned nippy.
On the freeway....some guy going 60? I get around him pretty damned quickly. And that's an auto!

I forgot, you have silly speed limits.
If your not doing 80 over here you get pushed off the motorways by buses.

I've already said nice things about it,

Karmann Ghias are fucking awesome
one of my bro's mates has one, and it is a thing of beauty.

I preferred his 1979 Porsche 911 Turbo though
