I suffered afew years with a new 1972 Beetle.
I built a house in 1976 about 18 miles from downtown and all winter I'd turn the heater off before getting home.
If I didn't remember to open the heater vents back up before exiting the car, they froze and the next morning I'd be driving blind for the first 5 miles. I eventually added a garage to my Cape Cod style house.


I had a '65 Beetle for a while when I worked in Kansas City. My
girlfriend at the time was a student at University of Missouri, in
Columbia. It was a several hour drive. On decent days, the drive was OK
but when the wind was howling or when there were lots of big trucks on
the highway, the VW would get blown all over the road. It was a nice
city car, though. The heater sucked, big time.
