1979 Volkswagen Derby LX 1.3
Summary:
Not a real car..
Faults:
The gearbox is a pile of crap. I'm on my second now!
The engine is not any better. The valves sound like snare-drums.
Rust is also a big problem, especially in the wheel openings.
General Comments:
The back seat is not big enough for a smurf, and the front seat is not much better.
Though the trunk is huge!
It handles O.K.
However, an used Opel Kadett C is a much better buy!
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? No

I am a 19 year old owner of a Volkswagen Derby and would like to add some of my one experiences.
If you need parts, no matter what, there is a 90% chance that they still have them in your country (even in the original box) contary to a 9 year old Opel Omega f.e.
My Derby might be 25 years old, but the acceleration is pretty fast.
And you have to admit he is adorable (cioute).
Unfortunately some the disadvantages are relevant.
