1983 Volkswagen Vanagon review from North America
"I wouldn't trade this car for anything"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
So, far nothing has gone wrong on this van. I live in North Carolina and bought it from a man in Arizona. He took GREAT care of it and it made the trip from Arizona to North Carolina. I didn't go straight back, I mad stops in Roswell, New Mexico and Houston. It ran like a champ and it seemed to eat up the chance to go on a nice long road trip.
General comments?
My only wish is that it got better gas mileage. It didn't do too bad, considering its 20 years old and so big. Maybe I just need to get used to it.
I love the space I have inside.
