1984 Volkswagen Rabbit Wolfsburg Ed. Convertible review from North America
"Basic fun"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
No major problems have yet shown up with this car. The seats (all of them) have worn down to foam, ditto for the carpet, vinyl is separating from the dash, minor to moderate rust, and the top is worn out. In addition, the speedometer does not work, so I do not have a clue as to what the actual mileage is.
General comments?
This is a fun car to drive, and it is great on gas. However, do not buy this car and expect a race car- 90hp does restrict your GO. If you can find one cheap, buy it- but don't intend on it being a daily driver.
