I too drove a diesel vanagon for 2 years. I don't recommend owning one if you are: impatiant, don't like being passed by semi's, or ever think you'll be in a hurry! Other than that they are great to own. I towed over 2000 lbs with mine while crusing at it's top speed of 70 mph/hr! (But that's that the turbo is for!) Jay |
