Speaking as someone who has suffered an original air cooled Beetle, they're cool but I wouldn't try to daily it. The lack of power steering would be far, far down your list of issues you will run into.

But for paralell parking a beetle specifically it can be a challenge, because reverse doesn't work like you expect. You have to push the gear lever down, like straight down toward the ground, and hold it, to put it in reverse. So you have to steer with one hand and hold the shifter with the other.

Good to know about reverse. Thanks.

Wouldn’t be a “daily” per se but an occasional weekend and holiday car. Like, easily under 5k miles a year.

Oh, perfect for that.
