1981 Volkswagen Rabbit Pickup LX review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Had to replace the engine twice, transmission once, fuel injector pump once in 250,000 miles. Now that a reliable drive train is in it, everything is running fine.
General comments?
This is such an economical and useable vehicle, I only wish it were still imported into the US.
