Still no car in sight!!!

Still looking for a suitable car! My decision-making joy leaves much to be desired. In the meantime I tested a VW New Beetle and I’m quite impressed with the car. I didn’t buy it because the little friend was a little wet under the spare wheel after the big rain. Is that a small weakness with the bullets? The seller said it could only be the seal of the tailgate, as lamps etc had no connection to the trunk. The idea of an A-Class 180 is still in the room, but somehow I am attached to VW. The Golf V is slowly getting back into the thinking again. How is the interval of the timing belt change with those? The golfs/s/e that come into the closer selection usually ran between 75000 and 100000km. And my driving performance is at 24000km a year! What is your opinion/experience?! What would you decide?!!
