Vannin'

This car will take 4 people and 4 dogs with luggage in plenty of comfort. The ride is smooth and it sits up nice and high. adjustable from the rear air and heat keeps everyone comfortable. Unique as there are so few of them on the road.

Very Nice, Much Sound

Volkswagen Van is quite noisy and also expensive. Engine make noise like rumble. I do not like sound van make, but is ok in every other way. Hit 200,000 miles and still work good. Engine noise bother me. Only other problem is head light no work anymore so I have to fix.

Eurovan - Best Van Ever Made!

This van has not been sold in the US since 2003, but its legend lives on. It is highly in demand in parts of New England and the Pacific Northwest with an active enthusiast community, and it's best for road trips or hauling large items. The back folds down comfortably to a bed, and you can even keep the folding table out and level with a little adjustment. You could literally live in this car, as long as you had a place to use the bathroom. The thoughtful, efficient, and practical German design of this vehicle continues to make this van functional with minimal upkeep for probably 300K or 400K miles and maybe 30 years, as even older versions of this van (e.g. Little Miss Sunshine van) are still on the road. And it really is fun to drive. No rea

One of the best vehicles I have ever owned, great

By far the most reliable vehicle I have ever owned. The comfort the handling for a Westvali is superb. If you want a Pop-Tip is excellent condition this is the car for you.

A Family Road Trip Today in this 2003 Westfalia

This Van hast taken us from the Montana Candian Border to thed desert border of Mexico and everywhere inbetween . The ride is smooth. She is well maintained looks and runs great. Whether you're heading out on the road for a stretch across country or just daily driving, this little van has the versatility. You will love spending the night in the van as the back bench converts into a queen size bed as well as the poptop single bunk for the kids.

Most Fun Money I've Spent in a Long Time

The 2003 Eurovan is one of the most fun vehicles I've ever driven or owned. It has a similar feel to the old VW Bus - high up with a flat steering wheel - but with much better engineering and a lot more power. Mine is a basic GLS and I love the huge open box with windows all-around. I like the styling and it still gets a fair amount of attention when I take it out. I gather it wasn't a very popular van when it was sold; and the 2003 was one of the last and best years where they used the standard 6-cylinder VW engine and transmission as used on other VW products. It puts out well over 200 horsepower, more than double the power of the old rear-engine buses, and it can move out quickly. The visibility is unparalleled and it cruises effortlessly on the freeway. The A/C works great too with lots of vents throughout the cabin. We have attached a screen on the back door for camping and we have a portable camp oven and other camping toys so I don't miss the camper-van features at all. It is a much more useful daily vehicle without all those extra built-in fixtures (and a whole lot cheaper). My only complaints about the Eurovan are the lack of a glove compartment and the height of the front doors off the ground - it's a high jump for us old, short people. As a solution, I bought an aftermarket storage and drink console that goes between the seats from EuroCampers; and I am considering getting aftermarket side steps. I also don't know enough about the reliability of the van yet, since it's not my main vehicle, it's 13 years old, and I've only put about 250 miles on it - out of over 240,000 total. Oh, and the radio kind of sucks too. We plan to use it for the beach and for camping trips locally and hopefully further afield. It's a unique van that can be found cheaply in the GLS package, but the MV popups and camper vans cost a small fortune. Unless you have a big bunch of kids and plan to camp a lot, it hardly seems worth the extra cost. The GLS is a big winner!

Best Van on the planet!

I love love love my Eurovan MV, I owned my Passat for 7 years and my family has grown love VW so i got my van. It is the best thing I have ever driven and after my kids are gone off to college it will still be me, my dog in my van tearing the highway up! I love VW and my Eurovan, there really is no competition or comparison.
