New VW Kombi and Caravelle driven

The Volkswagen Kombi, that stuff of legend and of David Kramer, has gone for a facelift. Although the new VW Caravelle, Kombi and Transporter still carry the T5 designation introduced in 2004, the latest cosmetic surgery cut deeper than just the sheet metal.

parts worth the price

It would definitely score low if you are going to rate it for its look. However, I believe that it was not made to appear beautiful.. This vehicle was made to be reliable and useful..  It lacks on the exterior and interior style but you’d never regret having one for the auto parts used on it. Its parts are of quality and really worth the price..

I am still a great fan of VW,

I am still a great fan of VW, times change and the "people's car" needs to change too to meet the demand. We should understand that this is a must, not an option. My first car was a VW Polo, I got it through a donate a car and I used for some good years, now it's somewhere in a recycling line but I still have a thing for VW. Thanks for keeping us updated!

LOOKS BETTER, BUT THOSE PRICES....

Vw are on a mission, to charge as much as possible for their products. gone are the days of the "peoples car". the facelift carravelle looks particuarly good with those new lights and grille  giving it some much needed pizazz. those new engines look impressive too,and Dsg on a kombi? the school run could become interesting, particular if mom or dad, are still yearning for the Gti they had to trade in..... but the prices are too steep, and only 60 000km for the serviceplan? at this price it should be a complete maintenance plan and should be up till 100 000km. clearly, if you want value for money better shop elsewhere.
