1993 Volkswagen Passat GLX W/VR6 review from North America
"Lemon, I was ripped off!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
In all seriousness I have replaced everything but the engine. I bought it brand new.
The nightmare began at approximately 16,000 miles. When it does decide to run it has power. The problem is keeping it running! I now have 48,000 miles on it and it is in the shop as I write this, oh setting me back like $900.00 American!! Unfortunately I cannot afford a car payment now. But I should cause I fork out an average of $500.00 a month!! On this piece-o-crap!
General comments?
Fast if you could get it to run.
Roomy interior for those days when you like to kick back in your piece-o-crap in your garage!
