Our Routan
We recently purchased a used 2011 VW Routan, and are over all pleased with it. The van has a smooth, quiet ride. The interior space is huge, with tonnes of storage space. We really like the 3rd row stow 'n go seating, but wish the 2nd row was also stow 'n go. The fuel economy is average for a mini-van I suppose, we really have nothing to compare it to as this is our first mini-van. The Routan has a Chrysler engine, so I assume parts should be not as expensive as if it were a VW engine. Over all our experience with this vehicle is great, and I would definitely recommend it to people looking for a mini-van.
