1966 Volkswagen Type I review from North America
"Best car that I have ever owned"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have had no problems with this car after all this time.
General comments?
This car has been the most reliable car that I have ever owned. This car is fast, and a great running car. The only reason that people think that these cars are bad is because so many Americans think that these cars can run forever without any maintenance. As long as you do routine maintenance on the Bug, it will last you forever. People just need to stop being stupid and spend an hour or so a week and just do what needs to be done to their cars. If you keep that up then you will have a great running and cool looking Volkswagen.
