I drive my vanagon everyday and for 8 years at that. Sure a few
problems have cropped up
ever since I ditched the wasserleaker for the Subie engine I have had no
problems to speak of
for a year and a half. (knock on wood). These cars are very well
built, the drivetrains are another story of course. Once ANY car gets
up in mileage, you'll have problems. Keeping current with those
problems and performing preventative maintainance is the first rule to
happy ownership!
