1993 Volkswagen Passat GL review from North America
"Piece of CRAP"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Where to start? Everything you can think of, it's the third engine in the car; front end keeps falling apart, turbo failed on it. Pretty much everything falls apart.
Gauges never worked. Took it in to get it fixed, never happened.
General comments?
Don't ever ever get one. Parts cost a lot, same with repairs, and it drive like a brick.
