What should I name my sisters VW bug?

What shall I name my new VW LOVE-BUG <3 ? and other questions...(I'm 16)?

• Its a like-new 2006 VW New Beetle Convertible with a tan top. The car color is called "Harvest Moon" --like a light beige or faded yellow. Oh and a BONUS QUESTIONS: 2. How is it in the winter? (if you've owned or driven one) 3. How much do you think annual maintenance is with oil changes and what-not?

• Answer:

  Because of their weight and the size of the stock tires, Bugs can be a little sketchy in deep snow. It's a really good idea to get snow tires on their own rims for safety's sake. The BEST way to go would be to go down a rim size as well (15-inch wheels and 195/60r15 snow tires or thereabouts) My dad has had his since new (2000), and I've spent a lot of time with it in the winter. Does your car have ESP (Traction control)? Maintenance-wise, your best bet is to keep up with the service plan in the manual and find a German-oriented shop that is NOT the dealer - VW dealers can be crazy about overdoing maintenance and (In my experience) taking advantage of women and unknowledgable customers. The 2.0 engine is fantastic (Though a bit gutless) as far as reliability goes - change your timing belt when you're supposed to (I do them at 120,000 km ... like 70,000 miles) and keep an eye on the oil - these cars do tend to use a litre of oil between oil changes. Not to sound like an old guy, but I think it's great to have your own car to take care of and learn stuff about. Don't be afraid to get your hands dirty. PM me if you have any more questions.
