1991 Volkswagen Passat CL review from UK and Ireland
"Solid, reliable and runs forever"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Normal wear & tear bits.
Head gasket blew at 100,000 miles (not too bad).
Runs on fresh air.
Engine getting a bit tired now, but I think that's reasonable for the age and mileage!!
General comments?
Reliable, a bit boring, comfortable.
Good motorway car but a bit sluggish around town.
Classic, solid, reliable boring saloon with loads of space, a massive boot and rear legroom.
I get the feeling that it will run forever.
Not a spot of rust on the paintwork.
Can't complain, but it will never light any fires!
