Been using the turbo for passing. It really does the job quite well.
And I actually feel the "push" back into the seat as Old Blue scurries forward.
Sure is a lot different from the Bugs I drove back in the 80s, or my Dad's Bug eons ago in the 60s!
I've found that I like this car a lot, and I've been surprised just how much fun it is to drive. Didn't expect that; just thought I traded my T&C van in for a plain-Jane Beetle. Another surprise is that a number of folk have chatted with me when I've been at the gas pump, and complimented me on this "sharp-looking car." Mostly they find it hard to believe that it isn't new, but four years old. The first owner sure did a good job maintaining it, and also looking nice.
As long as it keeps on running well for me, it is definitely a keeper.

As Al said, you need to kick the turbos once in a while. I'll bet that turbo gets that Beetle moving in a hurry. Two of them get my F150 up off it's knees in a hurry.
Enjoy your ride. It looks fun.
