I owned an 84' Wolfsburg Westy for about three months. A month after I bought it the tranny went. I had it rebuilt for $750. Two months later and 2000 miles away it dumped again. It would slip and chug and shift early, late whatever. It was a nightmare. I know its unfair to judge the design by my single bad experience, but I will never buy another automatic VW ever again.
