I consider the whole line undesirable...now. "Trendy"? LOL! They have been excellent transport and work vehicles since introduced all around the world since the mid-90's. If they were so 'bad', do you think Mercedes would still be building and selling millions around the world? Odd how most 'problems' are in the US... ask our own Cris Torlasco about Sprinter reliability, he rents out a whole fleet of huge Sprinter campers: andeanroads.com That's ok though, I'll keep on making my roadtrips with zero worries while wondering what's wrong with the occasional Vanagon I see off the side of the road or on the flatbed. ;) |
