DESCRIPTION:
Book by Center for Auto Safety
Don't accept it as well-represented fact. Adam This is a very persuasive book in which Mr. Nader is trying to get you to take every single aircooled Volkswagen off of the road forever. There are solid facts about old Volkswagen's safety shortcomings. However, some of these appear to be missing exact facts(which worked in favor of Mr. Nader) The handling characteristics seem a bit exaggerated to me. I love how he goes on and on for pages about a defective gas cap. I think it is worthwhile for an aircooled Volkswag. Information every VW owner should read. This is the book that did for the Volkswagen what "Unsafe At Any Speed" did for the Corvair. Ralph Nader had a significant role in the creation of this book, although he is not given author credit. It is a tell-all on the safety problems inherent in the design and engineering of the VW Beetle and Transporter. It is not good news for the VW enthusiast, which I am one, but it has caused me to drive it much more safely and carefully.. "Great Book" according to Amazon Customer. First Read this book in middleschool while trying to find a car to drive. Did wind up getting a bug and yes, blew off the road. Just wanted to re-read it since I am now (25 years later) looking for another bug.
