Had an 82 Rabbit Diesel which I bought new and kept for 40K miles. Averaged 48 mpg but was absolutely gutless. Flat out, no wind she would do 74mph....on flat roads in Louisiana. Moved to Colorado and she'd barely hold 55mph unless it was in fourth gear. Never could keep the hubcaps on...they kept falling off. Poor engineering on them, but other than that she did well until
I sold her when I got an assignment to England.
