I'm the one looking for a late 80's vanagon or syncro.  Does anyone have any
opinions about advantages to a syncro over a regular vanagon (besides the
obvious advantage of 4 wheel drive)?  Have vanagon owners found themselves
stuck in the snow that often?  I remember with my old 73' beetle and my old
71 bus, I NEVER got stuck as the engine was over the rear wheels.  How about
other features that the syncro might have?  Are they simply a more rugged
vehicle, or is it only the four wheel drive that makes them different?


I think I'm leaning towards finding a syncro, but it may just be cuz, well
they look EVEN cooler than the reg. vanagons.


Thanks for the input,


AUstin
