There was nothing good about that Omni...my dad went on to buy several watercooled VWs because he had enjoyed the Type I and Type III he had. The most vivid things I remember about the Omni was that all 4 outside door handles broke, more than once, when the car was nearly new, and the steering wheel vibrated so much at idle that he would pop it into park or neutral while stopped at lights. That car was just about dead at 60K miles.

The Type III has a cool dash with round pods for each instrument. My mom had a 64 Type I when I was really little, and that was cool too...white with red vinyl interior. I seem to recall that the Type III was bigger and had a lot of cargo room, relatively speaking.
