I had 2 Ghias. They are not suited for cold weather. Mine got 33 mpg. When I was 20, if I drove the car for 3 hours my legs went to sleep. Had to use my hands to drag myself out of the car. VW's and Ghia's were Hitlers way of getting even with us for losing WWII. The VW are female in nature, high maintaince!! No oil filter, had to adjust the valves every oil change. Oil changes were recommended every 1500 miles. You were lucky to get 50,000 miles before the valves burnt or dropped. The heater tubes were a part of the rocker panels which rusted out and when driving in the rain water would come in and your feet would get wet. Not to mention the defrosters, a towel and ice scraper. VW's had a tendency to flip if you went over if you took a hill or RR tracks too fast and got the back wheels off the ground. There is a good reason why they don't make then any more, my advice, stay away from them!
