Volkswagen to Retire Rabbit NamePlate in U.S. I remember The 80's Rabbits. I thought they were a very pretty car,I loved the Interior, And I remember I loved the diesel smell. I was a kid then it was 1984 My parents had bought her off some kid who bought it new and got into a bit of trouble and joined the army, Anyway Later on the block cracked after the car was not even 5 years old,this was due to the electric fan going out which I heard later on from older mechanics who use to work on them was a common problem and due to no temp gauge on the diesel c and the diesel smell It was usually to late before you knew she got hot. This caused a number of costly problems which my parents, So they decided to swap the diesel with a regular 1.5 gas motor even after that they still had problems with the car, it only seemed to run good for maybey a day or 2 before something else happened,this causing my parents to sale her in 1986 ,the last time it broke down was in 1985 they had it fixed yet again but this time after it was fixed they just parked it until they finally sold it. Although The car suxxed I still think it was the prettiest car I have ever seen even today. It was red 2 door with black Interior 5 speed w/Blaupunkt 4 speaker Audio. Not a scratch on it and the inside was perfect until I spilled my pop on the floor in the back Which caused me a good a bustin.
