My GF owns a 99 beatle. The odo stopped 2 years ago, and reads: 280k! The only thing she's had to have done (besides maintanance), is a head gasket. Not only that, but at the time of the head trouble, she drove from Syracuse to Cleveland; never had to pull over. To top that, she's still riding on the origional cllutch! The high milage honestly is mainly local driving, maybe 20% highway! As far as I'm concerned, thats pretty good iin the reliability dept.
