1981 Volkswagen Rabbit L review from North America
"Best car ever made"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Headline has become unglued.
Manual transmission became difficult to shift into 1st. Replaced it at 296,000 km.
Not a lot of power going up hill.
General comments?
This car has been the best bang for my buck.
Still pretty peppy after 23 years old.
You can't beat the mileage.
If i could go back to 1981, I'd buy this car all over again.
