My 1990 VW Fox

1990 Volkswagen Fox GL 4dr Sedan
I purchased my 1990 VW Fox after college. And I still own it. I have put more than 440,000 + miles on it. Just regular maintance and wear and tear parts (ie...brakes, tires, spark plugs, etc.) No major engine work or transmission work. I am now just starting to overhaul the engine due to low oil pressure. I never had any oil leaks other than once around 225,000 miles the valve cover … started leaking. Replace it and was back on the road again. Although parts are getting hard to fine. I have driven this car everywhere, dirt roads, highways, up in the TX, NM, Co. mountains and forest, NM, Az, Tx desert, snow, rain and down on the beach in Tx. Runs like a champ.

1990 Volkswagen Fox 2dr Coupe
My Volkswagen Fox has had NO mechanical
problems despite numerous things that
happened such as wasps building their
nest on the engine block! It still
purrs like a kitten and handles like a
dream.

My grandparents bought me a car b/c my
parents needed to take back a car they
had given me and I got a Fox. This
car has to be repaired often and is
unreliable.
