1991 Volkswagen Passat GL review from UK and Ireland
"Excellent, although not as long lasting as I expected"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing has gone wrong with the car other than the usual replacement of tyres, brake pads and exhaust.
The car never broke down and always started first time.
General comments?
Toward the end of my ownership the car became more squeaky and rattly so that I felt I needed to buy a new car. This was annoying as I thought that it would last me a long time.
It must be the effect of my driving and British roads!
Overall the car was excellent providing cheap, comfortable travel and was particularly good on the motorway as it had plenty of power to accelerate over 70 miles per hour.
