15: 1969 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia
Released at a time when Volkswagen was looking at building on the success of the Beetle, the 1969 Karmann Ghia was a nice little car that is fairly easy in terms of maintenance. The OHV four-stroke air-cooled flat 4 “Volkswagen” motor is fairly easy to work on and the lack of cooling parts makes it much more reliable.

Volkswagen put a lot of effort into the design of this car, although it wasn’t as popular as the Beetle. The fact that it was a convertible model made it a much nicer alternative to other lightweight cars on the market. The closest car to the Karmann Ghia is of term design is the Fiat Spyder.
