1967 Volkswagen Type I Typ 1 review from North America
"A true classic"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have never had any problems with this car other than the usual maintenance.
A little slow and small for todays freeway driving, but great around town.
Not the most comfortable seats in the world.
General comments?
I have always owned air cooled V.W.'s and 240 Volvo's. If a car cannot make at least 300,000 miles it is not worth owning.
Performs great for a 60 horse power.
Heater can melt steel!
Handles like a Porsche.
