1984 Volkswagen Vanagon review from North America
"We love our van"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Gas tank leaked horribly at the station when we put too much gas in (over-flow?). Don't do that.
Dash lights don't work.
Heater switches malfunctioning.
Expecting trouble with heads and cooling system, but nothing yet.. fingers crossed.
General comments?
Spunky van for it's size and economical.
Great clearance for off road traveling.
Really nice ride, nice driver position.
Great for playing "bus driver".
