Driving my '91 Carat Vanagon today was like floating on a cloud. I set my cruise control to 62 mph, put down the arm rests and floated for about 40 minutes down the highway. The engine ran smoothly and very quietly in the rear and the van is so tight that there was very little road noise. I turned on the radio and soaked up some uplifting gospel songs. It was great! I don't mean to brag but since we get alot of talk about how our vans are breaking down or have no power or whatever, I just thought it would be nice to post that I am having a great time driving mine. The auto tranny shifts like silk, the van hugs the road and the 2.1l engine (recall performed) has plenty of power as far as I am concerned. Anyone else have fun driving thier van?
