1990 Volkswagen Passat GL Estate review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
In three years I have had to buy a new exhaust.
General comments?
This car is severely abused. It was bought as a carrying box for windsurfing and sailing gear. It has returned my neglect with total reliability. It does not win many points for performance or handling but has almost no rust having been left on the beach most weekends. Our other car is a 3 series BMW and there is no doubt which one is going first.
