A Brazilian import, the Volkswagen Fox hit the U.S. shores for the first time in 1987. Looking like an elongated Rabbit, the Fox came as either a base two-door sedan and four-door GL sedan or the unusual two-door wagon. All front-wheel drive, the different models were powered by the same 1.8-liter, 4-cylinder, 81-hp engine and 4-speed manual transmission. An automatic was not an option with the Fox.
The 1987 Fox was definitely not a speedster, nor was it particularly attractive, but it was an affordable, practical car with plenty of room for passengers, and good storage space with the wagon. Owners agree it is a good starter car because it handles well, fits a lot of friends, and gets good gas mileage.
Like any Volkswagen, the 1987 Fox seems to last forever, particularly the engine, which used Fox buyers are amazed still runs quietly and efficiently. Other good things mentioned about the Fox are its tight handling and responsive manuevering, its affordability, and space. Bad things mentioned include a lack of acceleration power and its plain looks.

(9 reviews)I had in Edmonton I paid $250 for this 87 fox with 220,000kms it was badly rusted on the sides but the floors had no rust. This was not one of Volkswagens nicer models but the four speed standard was fun to drive, I drove the supreme hell of this vdub for 4 months and it never once let me down. I drove it to the scrap yard the day I flew home to Cape Breton from Edmonton.
this is the winter car of all time, it idled high so you could push it out of the snow by yourself, north/south mounted engine, front wheel drive, like an intrepid. torque monster 2.6? i think, i'll let ya know
I own one. Got it from a college student, for $700, with less than 115k miles. Only problem was the starter went out in the middle of nowhere. Fastest I hd it was 78 going down hill with a tail wind. It is a fun car to drive, and gets aroun great in the winter. Gas mileage is great, only had to fill up twice a month.
What a piece of junk I purchase this car new Easter Sunday 1987 kept approximately one year. The starter went out almost immediately two of the four hubcaps fell off. The air conditioning never worked correctly, and I must say driving. A box around was not very much fun either probably the worst car I’ve ever owned and I have never bought another Volkswagen since.
i think that they are a amazion car they are the bomb and they get great fuel milage i wish that they had a turbo in them this car is a super fun car to drive they are the best
