1994 Volkswagen Vento GL review from UK and Ireland
"The best car I have owned so far"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The distributer electronics failed at 60,000 miles This cost £200 to fix.
The windscreen wiper control switch broke at 70,000 miles. Approx cost to repair £30 for the part. Easy to fit by the average DIY person.
Rear discs needed replacing 70,000 miles due to corrosion.
General comments?
A comfortable family car with good performance and excellent steering.
Rolls a bit on cornering, but very safe.
Huge boot makes up for not being a hatchback.
