The VW Eurovan, sadly, is no longer imported into the US, though it's still made and sold throughout the EU and South America. The Eurovan Westfalia edition has creature comforts that any person on an extended road trip would die for: Comfortable full size bed, pop up roof for standing room comfort, privacy curtains, and a flip-up table that seats two comfortably, three if they're willing to reach.
Story
I brought the van (called the "Shaggin' Wagon" by my friends) to Cape Cod and spent an entire summer free-styling in different city streets.
Pros
I loved the ride, the freedom of space that this vehicle gave me, and the opportunity to go out on the road whenever I felt like it. This vehicle took me across the entire United States on an epic 5 month road trip that I didn't want to end.
Cons
The transmissions in Eurovans are notoriously flaky. This is actually my second Eurovan because the first one had a complete transmission failure that totaled the vehicle. If you can get a Eurovan with more than 100,000 miles on it that still has a good transmission, buy it in a heartbeat.
