1984 Volkswagen Vanagon weekender review from North America
"After it dies I'm putting a new engine in it"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Requires a new battery every 1.5 years
anticipating some plastic parts to start to decay.
General comments?
This is the most faithful car.
Mostly reliable except when battery is dead.
Perfect for exploring the country and sleeping comfortably in back.
