      While they are much nicer to drive then a Vanagon ,because of
creature comforts like factory in dash air that actually works ,better
ergonomics and air bags . I wouldn't own an early production of any model.
In 93 VW was using their customers as Guinea pigs. Ask any VW mechanic what
they think about working on a Eurovan VS a Vanagon.
       The later vans are better appointed and with the VR6 make driving a
real pleasure. I still think I would pass on a 93 ,if it is a Eurovan you
want buy a newer model .
