Not the Typical Soccer Mom Thing

This is about the 12th or 15th VW van I've owned since 1974. It has more horsepower than the air cooled editions, does better in hot climates (Central CA), and just feels good to drive on a leisurely road trip to nowhere in particular. With the beds, pop top, table and rear-facing seats it is great for a weekend getaway or hauling the kids to soccer games - but is definitely NOT a Chrysler mini-van. Gas mileage isn't great (16-18), uphill climbs are generally not a big problem (if its a long steep one, don't get in a hurry), and it's comfortable to drive. Amazing people and cargo room too! A/C works well and can get downright cold! These are getting harder to find and the prices are climbing.
VW Vanagon - space!

Large interior space makes it ideal for hauling people or stuff. Trunk space is huge compared to typical minivans. Rear facing passenger seats are ideal for kids.
Love to drive VW van

This car travels like a dream. We have a family of four and love the fact that we can turn the back seat into a queen bed for camping excursions. It is lighter than the camper, thus speeder!

This is the third VW Vanagon I've owned. Big inside. Well built and comfortable. None camper style has reasonable prices although camper ( Westfalia) and 4 wheel drive (Syncro) are expensive, all models are sought after and hold their value. Slightly under powered, essentially with automatic 3 speed transmission. Engines often switched to Subaru engines for increased power. Fun to drive. If well maintained, they are very reliable. I'll keep mine until the doors fall off.
