Don't feel claustrophobic IN the car at all, but why are all the other vehicles on the road so big? I need a periscope to see ahead.  |

I would think where you live you would have a pretty good view looking below the trucks. |

Speaking of periscopes....I was tested for claustrophobia. By the US Navy.
Happily spent many days underwater in a long black submarine. No issues. So, perhaps it stands to reason I never felt claustrophobic in my Beetle.
But it was a Super (73), and I was smaller! |

| Honestly my bug is very roomy I feel, every other car I drove my head bumped on the roof being 6,2. Many people have told me my bug looks much bigger inside than it does on the outside, only problem is the steering wheel when im getting INTO the car and well the whole "move your leg im trying to shift, no get your leg off the shifter!" |

I drive an 87 Toyota pickup. It is small inside, and seems to fit me perfectly. Getting into a bug these days just feels too small. I have no issues with claustrophobia, I just like a little more space.

Type 3 Squarebacks are bigger than Type 1 Beetles & will haul a lot!
