"A wolf in sheep's clothing"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Clutch cable broke.

Clutch cable bracket broke off of the firewall.

General comments?

This is my first car and I'm never going to sell it.

This car handles better than anything I have ever driven including Toyotas, Trans Ams and other Volkswagens.

It's got a lot of power and it's lots of fun to drive. From 1 to 10 the fun level would have to be 11.

Despite other people's opinions I always found my Rabbit very roomy and comfortable.It's as if it was made for me. And I am 5'11".

The only things that wear off with time are upholstery and plastic dashboards. The body and the engine are rock steady.

These little cars are the most tunable race car candidates on the street. I always enjoyed smoking Camaros in my GTI.

So I'm not the only one who;s had the bracket break off the firewall to hold ur clutch cable. Probably the hardest thing to change on that car and happened inthe middle of rush hour too.
