A friend has a '93 EuroVan MV Westfalia w/ 5-speed manual trans that we have used for a few times. Everyone in my family seemed to like it very much - wife liked the interior space that we moved a washer and a dryer with no problem while my 5-year old daughter was facinated by the folding table, curtains, and that the 3rd row seat pulls out and becomes a bed!
I have heard the auto trans in the later years are problematic and a rebuilt costs four to five thousands dollars. I am keep the fingers crossed.
