In the modern beetles, the flower has to be solar powered so it sways back and forth, thus creating even more of a distraction.

I borrowed an 03 cabriolet a couple of months ago and it was fine.   :y. Especially good fun when the sun shine and the roof came down.  8)

However it was a bit sluggish for a 1.6 and the handling was uninspiring, so probably not for the boy racers on here!  ::)  ;D
