19. Volkswagen Beetle
If you prefer a more low-key approach, you can always opt for a Beetle. The old one, of course. The Beetle is economical, plentiful and dependable. You can almost maintain one with a piece of wire or duct tape and some basic mechanical skills. Since it has an air-cooled engine, it won’t overheat, which is extremely useful in the midst of an emergency situation.
The official production of the VW Beetle began in 1938 and ended in 2003. During that time, Volkswagen produced more than 22 million cars, selling them in 14 countries around the globe. The Beetle was the first global car in terms of popularity, affordability and presence. If you choose this little car in a time of crisis, you will have to adopt a new strategy since Beetles aren’t the fastest car in the world.
