Please Enlighten Me On The 850's 850 1995

posted by  someone claiming to be Shelly on  Fri Jun 4 12:13 CST 2004 [RELATED]

I have a '95 855 N/A 5spd that we bought 4 years ago to accomodate our 3rd child and I love it, it has been an awesome car. The 5spd makes a big difference it is bullet proof. Mine has about 197k bought it with 96,400 on it and I am pretty sure the clutch is original and still going strong I even live down a very steep hill and the old girl gets up it just fine no matter the weather. Some repairs are a bit pricey but it's a nice car. Have previously owned over 20 VW jettas and golfs none of them made it this long with out replacing the starter, alternator, radiator, tie rods etc... Just make sure you never let anyone put your wheels on with an impact gun, must be done with a torque wrench to prevent warping the rotors which is maddening. Good luck.
