1986 Volkswagen Quantum SW GL review from North America
"Nice piece, will go for a Passat next"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Replaced left front side CV joint, brake rotors and pads.
General comments?
I like this car. It is my second Quantum.
First one's engine got broken, and I didn't bother to fix it, since I bought another one for $750, which is less then I would spend on an engine replacement.
It's the most underestimated car in the USA. Maybe it cost a lot when it was new, but now 10-15 years later you can buy it cheap, gives you a lot of car for less bucks.
When I bought it, it had no power options, so I installed power windows, central lock, power sunroof myself.
No complaints so far....
