1982 Volkswagen Rabbit LS review from North America
"I would have to be out of my mind to even consider any other car than a Volkswagen Diesel"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The 2 door 82 Rabbit was retired for metal fatigue. The engine was then installed in a 4 door 82 Rabbit LS.
During the "car change" the starter and clutch were replaced.
Only the belts and filters and occasional glow plug have been replaced.
Oil is changed at 4000 miles.
General comments?
These car (s) are fun to drive, easy on the maintenance, and great when it comes time to fill the tank.
