I'd say that it's a darn shame that the Vanagon is nowhere near
Japanese reliability standards of the time.  But the major difficulty
other than that is that there were never enough of them here for the
average wrench or even the average dealership to ever get solid
experience dealing with them, so we really do have to become our own experts.


What is it overall that makes *you* find them difficult?  Serious question.
