1987 Volkswagen Caravelle C Syncro review from Norway
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Water leaking head gasket.
Rusted brake fluid pipe.
Broken front stabilizer.
General comments?
This is the Ultimate MPV! It's a reliable car with awsome offroad performance because of differential lock on both axles and higher ride height. my car has a rebuilt interior and features two fullsize double beds, removable camping interior so it works well as a camper and a moving van.
The reason I wouldn't buy another Volkswagen is that there is no other VW that har the same agility. if I want a smaller car I buy a Alfa Romeo, the Caravelle is the ultimate working horse.
