1982 Volkswagen Derby L review from Lithuania
"A good choice for fresh drivers"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The front seats are very low-positioned and are really uncomfortable. The engine is too weak and therefore it uses over 9 liters per 100 kilometers in city, but you cannot get any good dynamics nor speed.
General comments?
The trunk is impressive.
The gearbox could use a fifth gear.
It is interesting, but when driving 60 km/h it looks like 160 km/h.
