1985 Volkswagen Vanagon GL review from North America
"Not worth the time or money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The spark plugs would fall out once a month.
Could not hold a steady idle.
Temp. light would always come on.
General comments?
I know I bought a car that I had no idea how many miles it had, but everyone told me how great a car they are.
The wind gets a hold of you in the van like no other car I have ever been in.
The inside of the van is huge.
