I HAVE BEEN THE PROUD OWNER OF TWO VW CARAVELLE'S AND DECIDED TO BUY THE NEW 2.O LITRE 4 MOTION. WHAT A MISTAKE. FROM THE FIRST COUPLE OF DAYS OF DRIVING IT I NOTICED IT DID NOT PULL OFF FROM STANDSTILL WITHOUT A RIDICULOUS DELAY. VERY DANGEROUS WHEN ONE THINKS YOU CAN CROSS OVER A ROAD WITH EASE. IT DOES NOT TOW AS WELL AS THE 2.5 TDI AND IS MORE THIRSTY. THE CAR HOWEVER HAS BEEN DOGGED WITH PROBLEMS FROM STEERING WHEEL PUMPS TO DYSFUNCTIONAL ELECTRIC DOORS AND GEARBOX LEAKS. THE CAR HAS BEEN IN THE WORKSHOP MORE THAN IS REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE FOR ANY CAR LET ALONE A CAR THAT COST OVER 700K WITH EXTRAS. I HAVE BEEN VERY PATIENT UP TO NOW BUT AGAIN THE CAR IS IN THE WORKSHOP BECAUSE IT POPS INTO NEUTRAL WHILE DRIVING!!! I AM HOWEVER COVERED BY A WARRANTY. BIG DEAL! I DIDN'T BUY A PIECE OF PAPER. I BOUGHT A CAR THAT I WOULD LIKE TO DRIVE, PEOPLE.
STAY AWAY FROM VW CARAVELLE 2.0BTDI BIGGEST WASTE OF MONEY.
STANDARD LINE AT BARONS BRUMA WHEN THEY SEE ME. BACK AGAIN??? NO. I'M JUST RENTING A PARKING SPOT FOR MY CAR.
