1992 Volkswagen Passat review from North America
"Very fast and fun car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Air Conditioner- 180000.
Motor mounts-182000.
Head cracked at 276000.
Many other minor repairs that I can't recall.
General comments?
This was a great car! It handled very well with its German engineered steering. It could corner any curve. It also was very fast with great Acceleration. When I worked this car took a beating because I drove it all the time. The seating is overall comfortable, but the seats are kind of firm. It started to go downhill once it hit around 200000 miles. Around 272000 it started trying to overheat all the time. By 27600, it finally just quit with what I think was a cracked head.
