1998 Volkswagen Caddy SD review from UK and Ireland
"Reliable and cheap to run"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing proper servicing won't catch.
General comments?
Very reliable van, a bit slow with only 64 bhp.
Good load capacity, and towing doesn't make much difference to performance.
Does suffer in its twilight years with engine management and gear/clutch trouble, but still driveable.
Watch out for rust.
Comfortable over long drives.
Not very safe; I was in one that was hit head on at 50mph, and it crumpled like a paper cup.
Economical on the diesel, and parts are available.
