Disappointment

We purchased a new Routan in 2010 with the birth of our third child. Its been a great van overall for the last few years then all of a sudden issue after issue pops up. Tires, brakes, radiator, A/C, and not the transmission is dying. Our van is garage kept, religiously scheduled maintenance for all fluids, and only has 139,000 miles on it (we commuted a lot from 2015-17). Wish we had known more about Chrysler and the short lifespan of their products back when we purchased this van! We generally keep our cars for years, and get well over $200K miles before we have to trade in. Buyer beware.

Great for the Price!

Great value for a 9 year old vehicle. Runs great and should last me years to come. Was also very surprised to see no rust on the body for the age it was.

Loved my Jetta but really wanted a Routan

I love my granny so much, yes there are a few things that will need to be done sooner or later but the van is in great shape all around for the age and miles, no tears or stuff just love it

This is not a true VW

The VW Routan is a Dodge Caravan with 'upgraded interior'. It's built in the US alongside the Dodge Caravan and Chrysler Town And Country and as such share most of the mechanical's. The interior is better than the Dodge and Chrysler (not saying much), but it is way off the usual standard you expect from VW. Reliability is also more dodge/chrysler than VW too. Don't buy (unless you want to buy mine off me)

I've only had it a week.

So far I'm loving this vehicle. I do wish the seats stowed into the floor when it said Stow and go I thought that's what it meant but they don't go all the way in they fold up out of the way but they don't go on the floor.
