Sprinter is amazing and highly capable vehicle that made the Arctic trip possible, but that Vanagon has a soul. Feels more like a companion than a vehicle.

@@simoncummins1964I own some classic VW's. A 54 beetle that I purchased in 92 and a 69 going on ten years now, so I know what folks mean when they talk about soul. Never owned a vanagon,but a friend has one that we started calling the 'Chadagon' 👍

Chad,in case you are not aware-you will kill your turbocharger in your diesel(or gas engine)by not idling it for a minimum of 3 minutes before shutting down.Turbos are cooled by the oil from the pan-and when that turbo is hot-the housing can be up to 800 degrees.Shutting your engine off like that will cause the oil to stop flowing-which is cooling it,and it’ll cook.The term is called coking and it’s real.Letting your engine idle for 3-5 minutes before shutdown will keep cooler oil flowing from the oilpan through the turbo which will cool the housing,and give your turbo a long life.

Our Vanagons have MOJO. They were designed for outdoor recreation with windows all around the vehicle offering great viewing from inside the van. The sprinters were designed originally for cargo applications, and while they have many capabilities that far exceed a Vanagon, the sprinter will never have the mojo that a Vanagon has.
