2003 Volkswagen EuroVan MV review from North America
"Highly under-rated"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Inside door grab handles are 'flaking'. The rubberized material is wearing off. Apparently a common problem fixed under warranty.
Heavy 'anti-rust' coating applied by factory to underside of van makes owner servicing a messy job.
General comments?
I loved my Vanagon and I love my new Eurovan. It is my first brand new vehicle. I think the Vanagon had more interior space, but the weekender package with the pop-top sleeps my family of 4 just fine.
Very easy to load groceries and kids.
Too bad VW doesn't sell any vans in the USA - until 2006.
