You know, you guys (and gals) are starting to make me nervous.  I've had 3
WBX Vanagons and never had any serious problems with them.  To listen to you
all talk, I'm about ready to swap out my WBX for something else... possibly
anything else, if I keep listening to your horror stories.

Does anybody have anything nice to say about the WBX?

I seem to remember reading in English magazines that the 2.1 five is an
avoid-at-all-costs engine...apparently it's really unreliable. Sort of the
Audi equivalent of the WBX.
