We have a 95 we got used in 98. Its a decent vehicle. Pros: very reliable,
easy to work on... good design characteristics.

Cons: Winebago camper conversion sucks, very poor quality compared to
Westfalia. Noisy when driving at high speeds, underpowered a little (1995
had a 5 cylinder), parts are VERY expensive). Tires are a little hard to
find and expensive. Driving it in the city sucks, vehicle sways heavily in
turns and I even have Bilstien shocks on it.

Its very long so your always getting wacked in parking lots.

Overall its a good vehicle, I have alot of complaints about ours but its
reliability is its biggest point.
