I have a friend who drives only circa 1977 ~ 1980 diesel Rabbits from VW. He has about five of them and rotates them as needed. They get 50 mpg, and are easy to work on.

Actually Chevrolet made a Diesel Chevette in the late 70's and early 80's which was a great car. Unfortunately GM ruined it's reputation so badly on the 350 engine modified for diesel in the same time period that the Diesel Chevette suffered an early death from the line.

Memories of a disaster, the GM gas and diesel hybrid.

I liked the rabbit that Stephanie Zimbalist drove in Remington Steele. Stephanie was the better part of package with or without the rabbit.
