Used 2010 Volkswagen Routan for Sale

The VW Routan is not up to par with the typical VW car. Our minivan has had several things go wrong in the four years we have owned it, including costly EGR replacement and an entire circuit board replacement, totaling over $2,000 for those two alone. Add in poor braking system that requires brake replacements every 20K miles and rotors every 30K miles and you will spend more money than you bargained for on this minivan!

Vehicle services the family quite well. The ability for the car to adapt to the changing needs is a plus. This comes in the form of third-row seating, fold down seats, and power doors. The space in the back when the seats are removed is exceptional and helpful when hauling items or just taking a family vacation. The DVD players and entertainment package for the children is always a great feature and a must when on long trips.

I was excited to have a Volkswagen minivan. However, all of the parts and mechanics of the vehicle were Chrysler parts, and I had problems from the beginning. Because of a defect in the design, I was forced to replace my brakes, including the rotors and brake pads YEARLY. I also had to replace the master cylinder within the first year. The cable for the television broke during the 2nd year. Thankfully I was able to YouTube how to fix it ourselves to save $800 for repair. The vehicle runs low on oil far before it's due time for change... every time. I am now running into a problem of the car not always starting. I've taken it to the dealership, and because they cannot replicate the issue, they cannot diagnose. I do enjoy the vehicle. It is great for a family with young children. It has two RES systems and is easy to operate. In comparison with Honda and Toyota, the price point of the vehicle was right. The vehicle does get pretty good gas mileage on long trips, but not so great during city driving. The performance is standard. I don't expect anything great with a minivan.
