Volkswagen Quantum Reviews

Very little, actually. Most of my trips to the garage were for preventive maintenance.

The A/C compressor died around 140,000 miles.

The air intake had to be replaced.

The fuel pump relay died around 165,000 miles.

Most of the parts I replaced were hoses, belts, tyres; things that are subject to normal wear and tear.

Great car. Very reliable. I owned it for 11 years.

Very comfortable to drive. I owned 3 VW Dashers prior to this car. Good cars, Dashers, but this one beats them.

It is a bit more expensive to repair, though. Probably the best, most dependable car I've ever owned.

The normal part replacement's of a car this old.

It needs a new paint job.

I did have to replace the heater core last year.

My point is my car is 20 years old.

It is cheap on gas.

I enjoy driving in it and riding in it.

It hasn't really left me sitting yet.

I am going to paint it and drive it for another twenty years.

I thought when I purchased this car that I was getting a quality vehicle. It was until about two years later when it started to nickle and dime me to death. The heater core went out at around 70,000 miles. The cv boots were replaced three times. The drivers side wind shield wiper broke at 40,000 miles. The antenna broke at 80,000 miles. The tape player broke at 50,000 miles. The gas mileage was good, and the engine was tight. Other than that, it wasn't a good car. No more Volkswagons for me.

Temp sensor went out at around 45K...took about 10 minutes and 10 dollars at the local parts store to replace.

The motor for the slide-back sunroof broke... replacement was too expensive at the time (broke college student) so I simply used the manual hand crank inside the control box on the ceiling.

Was totaled by the side impact of a dump-truck that ran a stop-sign. (however I can't really fault the car for that... although the fact that I'm still alive speaks wonders for the saftey factor of the car)

Great car... fantastically reliable. Started first time, every time... even when the temp dropped to -17 F.

It was driven hard by a broke college kid (me) and didn't receive all the maintenance it should have and still it kept running perfectly.

If they still made these I'd most certainly buy another one.

All of the windows are powered, but the two rear ones don't go down anymore b/c the mechanics broke the wires in the doors..didn't feel like paying them to fix it.

Car in good condition for age.

Seats/material/interior excellent condition.

Great for driving in icy weather-manual.

Sounds like a tank b/c of diesel engine.

Good pick-up.

Good mileage-32/45.

Original paint job- still mint condition.
