1992 Volkswagen Caravelle GL review from Indonesia
"Beautiful"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
In the past three years where it had covered the last 20K kilometres, I had to spent heaps of money to keep this baby in shape. Major repairs and replacements were within the transmission (gearbox & coupling), suspension system, exhaust, power steering, electrical system, and few interior problems such as the power windows, power door locks and trims.
I can't quite remember the exact fault details. I'll comeback with deeper comments if I may.
General comments?
I truly believe that its worth the spending, since I love this car for its strength, power, performance, reliability, comfort and beauty. Keeping in mind of the rugged (not-so-smooth) road terrain of Indonesia, this baby is a great friend for family adventure. Long trips have never felt so comfortable. I've never felt guilty in having this car. I'm always satisfied.
