1985 Volkswagen Vanagon Transporter review from North America
"Transport it"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
One of the head gasket blew.
The gas tank had several problems.
Rusty rust is rusting this truck, but penetration is not too bad, the frame is solid.
Much more, but I don't remember.
General comments?
This car handles very cool, like a truck.
Room, more room and more, go 6 with bicycles and camping stuff one week and you still have room.
The vision is excellent, you see everything.
Everyone laugh at you while you are in this truck.
Shifting is hard since transmission if 15 feet behind you.
No power assisted direction makes big muscle.
