Hi Zolo, Yes, they are slow, except the versions with the 6-cylinder 2.5 litre turbo diesel. They are also very unreliable, very prone to rust and hardly have any VW feel ... they were a joint venture with M.A.N., a truck manufacturer. (MAN = Machinenwerke Augsburg-Nuernburg). The current VW LT is a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter small truck/van with VW five-cylinder Diesel engine and modified front end styling. I don't think M.A.N. are involved this time. Best regards, Tony |
