My Wife's DD from 2012 to 2019 was our 2012 Beetle - 2.5 5-speed, Tornado Red with the retro wheels. Great car except for cargo capacity. The Sportwagen is miles ahead there. She got a JL Wrangler n 2019 and I convinced her to keep the Beetle. It's now my driver, but since I work from home, not DAILY driver. lol. It is a bit Guzzi-like in how it pulls nicely through the midrange, accelerating more than the sound and feel would suggest.
My 2004 Colorado has the 3.5 5-cylinder and I owned 2 5-cylinder Mercedes in the past as well. I actually enjoyed driving my Geo Metro (aka Suzuki Swift) for the month I had it before an inattentive Windstar driver sideswiped me at about 30 mph, totalling the Geo and only failing to take me out by a foot or so. Luckily he hit the left side fender and wheel, not my door.
As the years have gone by, I've been getting notions of Volvo 240 ownership. Not sure what Guzzi would be analogous.
I like just about everything so what I get isn't necessarily an indication of any particular leaning.
