1987 Volkswagen Vanagon Westphalia review from North America
"Terrible - absolutely the worst vehicle ever!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
This was by far the worst vehicle I have ever owned.
Electronics failed, engine blew, head warped, linkage for transmission was flaky, ignition system was pathetic, touching the wire harness under the dash would kill the engine and would not start. There were numerous electrical fires, The battery is under the seat. What a POS.
General comments?
Though the space is well set up inside the car. This is by far the worst vehicle I have ever owned. None of the drive-train or electrical / mechanical systems were reliable. This was a very badly engineered vehicle.
Don't touch it with a 10 foot pole!
