VW vanagons are a nightmare. I had an '84 which I
bought new. I got so that I never flinched when
presented with a four figure repair bill. They have
chronic headgasket,CVC joint, Cooling system problems
etc. The power steering was new in i985 or 1986 - mine
was manual but if the dealer says they are a problem -
believe him. They are a unique and fun vehicle but be
prepared to pay big repair bills.

I looked at a 99 EV/MV today.  Understand that I truly
love VW vans.  I've owned three vans in the past, two
aircooled and one wasserboxer vanagon.  The EV is
uninspiring.  Plastic everywhere.  The table,
jumpseats, and bed look flimsy  The curtains look
cheap.  All the ambience of a base model Plymouth
Voyager for only 50% more.  I'm not sure if I will
waste my time by driving.      I'll pass.  Or at least
wait until there is a $10,000 dealer incentive in
place.  Besides, Transporter 2000 is just around the
corner.

Also a Road Test of a 1999 Volkswagen EuroVan GLS:
