Many problems, but since this car was rescued from a car lot with NO salesmen, I expected to do a lot of restoring...
A/C, clutch, radiator, tires, axles, all replaced or repaired... about $3000 to put it into running shape.
I got this car because my daughter had the 1982 8V version and it was very responsive and fun to drive. The statistics on this car stated that its power-to-weight ratio was over 120 hp per ton, and it has proven that from the very start. It is a ball to drive, and I can't wait to get back in it all day at work...
Handling is awesome, as I love curvy roads already, and this car takes them on like no other I've ever had...
I'm glad I got it and resurrected it for it is the funnest car to drive... too bad Volkswagen hasn't seen fit to bring it back!!!
VW did... 2008 or 2009.
