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.Apr 06, 2024

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.Jul 09, 2010

this was one of the most unappealing vehicles i've ever owned. although smaller and
lighter than the jettas of the same year, the 4 speed manual transmission's ratios were
horribly spaced and made the 1.8 liter 4 cylinder engine perform worse than the jetta. the
fuel economy was also 2-3 mpg less. another issue i've had with the volkswagens is the
1.8 liter 8 valve 4 cylinder engines are prone to cracked pistons. all 3 VW's i owned died of
this problem. the only real plus side of the fox I owned was that as a 2 door wagon, there
was a surprising amount of cargo space.

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.Mar 07, 2008
