The maximum speed for this car that i've been is 62 going downhill. Not so sure about 0-60, probably 15-20 secs. No power steering, quite heavy. It has had lots and lots of repais made to it. Remodelled the interior, few panels on exterior been replaced. I'm recording all the miles that I have done in a petrol tank, to work out the miles per gallon. This car (bus, van) is very fun to drive, everyone smiles and waves at me as I drive past.Nov 05, 2010

Performance- None
Build Quality- Good (its 32 years old and still not rusted)
Appearance- The best looking vehicle around
Cost of ownership- Touchy subject!! LOTS AND LOTS
Fun Factor- This isn't a sporty van and it doesn't try to be. The fun factor
with them it the sheer enjoyment of owning it and making it your own.Aug 09, 2010

I love the look, the lifestyle of a low rider VW (not hippies),
the roots of what a VW Aircooled engine. The unpowered performance of a 2.0litres with a big 75 hp 4 speeds gearbox. Equip with a bar and a bed in the back seatMay 01, 2009

The Type II from Volkswagen was not just a car, it was the icon of an entire decade. A social phenomenon if you will. Although it was not built for speed, it does what it's meant to do day in and day out. True quality German engineering.Apr 25, 2008
