1993 Volkswagen Fox GL Wolfsburg review from North America

"The greatest econobox ever made!!!!!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Little things usually - nothing requiring lots of money or major service. I bought mine from a dealer with a 1 year warranty, so most things got fixed with that. Beware some VW dealers though, one I went to several times doesn't know how to work on a Fox (no, really). I had a clutch cable replaced (didn't need it, but they paid for it) and they put it in wrong, and refused to fix it. I had to go back and fix it myself. Speaking of which, it's not that the car is incredibly hard to work on, they just didn't give you any room to do anything. It's a VERY compact sedan.

General comments?

I LOVE the Fox, and so do most people who have owned one. It's truly got a personality, and the driving experience is wonderful. The clutch and the shifter all feel just right. It definitely won't beat that 'Vette off the line, but it does feel peppy sometimes (in an 80 HP way). Yes the car is a bit underpowered, but so are a lot of cars. You quickly adjust to that, along with the lack of power steering, or power anything for that matter. It's a total economy car, which is why I love it.
