1981 Volkswagen Rabbit L review from North America
"An inexpensive car to drive"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I've had to have the shifter rebuilt, when a bushing wore out.
General comments?
This car got about 46 miles to the gallon on a 300 mile highway trip.
I enjoy driving it.
Also, I intend to run it on bio-diesel fuel and save even more money.
