A VW has fewer parts than other cars because it needs fewer parts.
It doesn't need a drive shaft to transfer engine power to the rear wheels. Because Our car's engine is in back to start with land to maintain traction with).
And it doesn't need a radiator, or a
water pump, or hoses. Because the engine's cooled with air, not water.
(When you drive your first VW, you may miss putting in antifreeze, rust inhibitors and whatnot. But you'll soon get used to it.)
The stuff a VW doesn't use, it doesn't have to haul land waste gas on). Which
is one reason it averages 32 mpg.
And the parts you don't buy, you'll never repair. So you can't waste money on that. Now you know why you can drive a VW for years and years with a lot of parts missing. And never miss them.
