Marcski 04-07-2007 17:27

thanks i dont have any new stuff on this project sorry. but here look at the pictures of my 4 door fox






















































Tjaap 18-11-2008 07:04

that's a hot little car

martiepartie 18-11-2008 11:01

Ik like the Fox! Do they share common VW parts with the jetta/rabbit or is it a real different car? Front looks audi80-like, espacially in the dark.

When i see the dropped 4-door Fox, I want to have one :)

the share the motor with jetta/rabbit. most of the running gear is more like early audi. the motor is longitudinal mounted

Tjaap 21-11-2008 06:58

i like how (probably) the cheapest car in that line-up is easily the best looking.

That's it.
VWB made and sold VW Fox (Voyage in Brazil) and Fox Wagon (Parati here).
My father have a Parati CL 92', but it's not poor like his Fox...
120.000km. It's like a brand new. I love that Volks (with Ford/Renault powertrain).

Pedro Rosa 19-12-2008 04:45

Just to complete the info, Volks Parati (the origin of the name is a city and a beach that have the same name) was only made in this generation as 3 door station. The 5 door version came in 97' in the AB9 generation, that started at 96'.
Sorry, i am not a great english speaker (writer here) but i think that I transmited well the information.
