The 1994 VR Berlina is all-in-all a good motor car, very reliable, relatively cheap to run, plenty of room in the front and the back, easy to read dash, good fuel economy.
This car will last forever if treated right, most of the problems above occured after a bit of thrashing and burnouts.
Having been an owner of a 1994 VR Berlina Wagon for 9 years, I can honestly say it is a top car in view of power, fuel economy and comfort. Having just clocked up the 200 000 km's, it is only natural for things to start wearing out and I'm expecting to have to replace a few things over the next couple of years.
