I purchased my van over 10.5 years ago and it had 14k on it. Its now has 167k miles and still working fine. Had to replace the trans, engine mounts (2 times), and a couple of other things - I think I have spent about $6.5k since I purchased it. But over all it has been a great family van. The backup camera has stopped working consistently and the front seats are waren but other than that it’s great. It’s now time to replace it as I’m having trouble getting it to pass its smog but overall it’s been a great car and would recommend - drives great

I just purchased a 2012 VW Routan mini van with only 80,000 miles on it.It had only 2 owners and there was a coolant leak and a 2nd cylinder misfire. Put in a shop and they said that the valve was warped and there was a big coolant problem. I have only owned it a week. It needs a new Engine.waa told by German Motors that they extended there Warrenty on this vehicle because of this problem and mine expired in September. If I could show it had this problem in September or before that VW would replace the Engine. I am real sure that I can and I can get it replaced. I am furious that they were aware of this problem and didn't recall this vehicle. I owned a VW Jetta and loved it was why I bought this one. I had no idea that this would be a Lemon. I hope the dealership will do the right thing and replace the engine.

Our Routan sel purchased w 60,000 miles had it about ten years - biggest costs thermostat/ radiator $1000, last year transmission component $1800- otherwise general maintenance - front window motors $250 4.0 engine great rev and pep
