  Its not 1972 any more! - 2001 Volkswagen Eurovan
  By peterr - August 26 - 10:00 am

  Originally purchased todrive our daughter from PA to FL to college, it has become an everyday favorite of mine and our first choice for any long distance driving. Exceptional power and handling that actually feels "Sporty", even on small country roads despite its boxy appearance. The geared down 201HP V6 has great power. The weekend 4- some fits easily with 4 sets of golf clubs. Great at winter driving with ABS and traction control. Access requires quite a step up which can be problematic for older individuals.

  Awesome Performance - 2003 Volkswagen Eurovan
  By cary95404 - July 3 - 6:10 pm

  This is my second Eurovan and my fifth VW van. This 2003 model has awesome performance compared to other VW vans. The pickup is outstanding and the traction control (ESP) is the best Ive ever driven. Braking is excellent. The only complaint is that IÂ’ve had to replace the brake pads at thirty thousand mile intervals (using factory brake parts). ItÂ’s a solid vehicle. The VR6 engine is a monster!

  Accessible & Space!! - 2003 Volkswagen Eurovan
  By owasippe - June 9 - 2:00 am

  Roomy second- and third-row seats, lots of headroom inside the cabin, responsive steering, capable brakes, only van door that meets ADA standards for door opening to accomodate wheelchair without modification. VW has a real gem of a disabled accessible rear cabin. Add only ramp and hold down and you are good to go with a wheelchair thanks to easy in/out of rear seat! Cons: Handling takes getting used to...especially around corners or parking, wind noise on highway similiar to early Suburbans, no driver-side sliding door or side airbags.

  This aint no minivan! - 2003 Volkswagen Eurovan
  By mssurfn1 - March 21 - 10:00 am

  Just got the van after researching the other minivans. Major "coolness" factor with this vehicle. Had to trade in my Audi A4, but worth it for my wife and growing kids. Plenty of room and utility. Not many bells and whistles, just the basic amenities. Nice feature, we can all sit facing each other and use the built in folding table to eat, play games, family time.

  Zippy, roomy van - 2001 Volkswagen Eurovan
  By Cheech - February 17 - 10:00 am

  I have had VW vans in the past. I liked them for a bunch of reasons. The 01 Eurovan roomy and very comfortable, even traveling with my family of seven. Its already been said, but the Volkswagen Eurovan is decidedly different. Its shaped like a box where others are round and bubbly. It has a significantly higher driving position. It also offers unique options, such as rear-facing second-row seats, pull out beds, window curtains and a camper body. All that plus a few peace signs make this van easy to own.

  V ersatile Vehicle - 2001 Volkswagen Eurovan
  By Tubaman - January 15 - 10:00 am

  I bought this Eurovan used, less than a year old with about 11000 miles, still under warranty. No mechanical problems except a driveline seal replaced under warranty. (Ive always had it serviced at University VW in Albuquerque.) I find it very comfortable to drive long distances, but my wife finds the seats too tall (seat to floor) for sustained comfort. Acceleration is fair with the VR6. Fuel economy is about 20 mpg. The Evan can pull a light trailer too.

  Im glad I overlooked the editors review - 2001 Volkswagen Eurovan
  By mogies - January 1 - 10:00 am

  I am overjoyed with our purchase of a 2001 eurovan. It has great pickup and great looks plenty of room and fun, fun, fun to drive. We looked at many different types of vehicles, including SUVs, before we purchased it. Once I got in and drove it, I knew it was the one for us. Because there are not many of these vehicles on the road (unlike the standard minivan)people stare wondering what it is. The other day a man flashed me a peace sign. What more can I say!

  The Breadbox - 2002 Volkswagen Eurovan
  By Miocardian - January 1 - 10:00 am

  I have owned my EuroVan GLS for well over a year now, and I cant stop saying good things about it. Sure, it doesnt have all the "gizmos" that all the other minivans have, but in reality, this is a great vehicle. I always walk away with a smile on my face after I drive.

  The last sensible VAN on this planet - 2003 Volkswagen Eurovan
  By Paul Huang - November 14 - 10:00 am

  The following made me choose this old discontinued beast over the Toyota Sienna: Toyota has shiny plastic in the instrumentational which causes specular highlight before 10 AM and after 3PM. EuroVan doesnt hat that stupid decorative panel. four-wheel disc brakes (Toyota only available in XLE: $32,000) third-row EDGE-to-EDGE seating. Not even Suburban has this. Easy (easiest) to get in and out of the passenger compartment.
