1966 Volkswagen Beetle Deluxe review from North America
"Very reliable and easy to maintain"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing that was the fault of the car. The engine spun some bearings due to a shoddy rebuild (broken piston and rod parts found to be rubbing up against the crank).
General comments?
The car was incredibly reliable. It got me where ever I needed to go. It was not quick, but was much faster than my previous car.
