Every car needs some TLC from its owner, and this is not relative. Whether one may drive a tough, all-around utility vehicle or a classy luxury sedan—the drill is standard. But for Beetle lovers who enjoy utilizing the performance of their VW parts, the TLC that they willingly give has an extra cherry on top. Not to say that the Beetle is high-maintenance, because it definitely is not. It is just that, (and all Beetle owners agree to this) the Beetle deserves a special kind of attention. This is often evident, as Beetles are often seen to be pampered in customized versions—just like Paris Hilton’s chihuahua.

Here is one simple tip to maintain your New Beetle—drive efficiently. This is one basic, but often overlooked fact for New Beetle drivers. This basically means that the use of the overdrive gears and the cruise control are very important. When one uses overdrive, the engine’s speed will automatically decrease. This will lead to the reduction of both the car’s fuel consumption, and the wearing out of the engine. This is a very practical way to maintain engine performance, especially since rpm is not the thing to use in traffic. Same with the cruise control. This will help you keep a constant speed in driving, so fuel consumption follows.

The basics are to be observed—regular tune-ups and change oil, checking of every car part’s efficiency. If something gets broken, have them replaced immediately with the same high-quality VW parts that the car is decked out with. Nonetheless, just take your Beetle out to long drives for it to enjoy, and for you to feel, the real Beetle lovin’.
