1985 Volkswagen Passat C review from Lithuania
"Practical and reliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
No big problems at all, only it started rusting fast this year.
General comments?
This car is extremely reliable- in ten years of using it, I had no breaks. It is also very practical- hatchback cn carry lots of stuff, and it drags a trailer loaded 750kg, but then it starts to "eat" petrol. It usually uses 6.5 litre of petrol for 100 kilometers if driven "easy" style on a road, but uses much more petrol in city.
