1991 Volkswagen Passat GT 2.0 16v
Summary:
Outstanding all-rounder, pity about the reliability
Faults:
Wheel bearings shot when first purchased.
Sunroof mechanism broken.
Cooling problems with overheating even after cleaning out system (fan and thermostat working fine).
Transmission blew up $$$$$.
Aircon gave up failed.
Wouldn't idle properly.
Electric windows worked sometimes.
General Comments:
Extreeeeemly economical to run 7-9 litres/100km.
Outstanding performance for a 2.0L, would kick down when doing 160km/hr.
Very roomy with huge legroom in the back and massive boot. More room than a Falcon or a Commodore.
Pitty I brought a lemon!
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

I have a 1991 VW Passat GT Wolfsburg Edition.
This is the most amazing car I have ever had, almost 150000km and still going strong!
I live in Switzerland and, unfortunately, I must part with my beautiful car for reasons of moving countries.
