Which Type 2 Transporter bus is better, the Bay or Vanagon? The T2
was not in any way inferior to the T3. It was more basic, sure, but
that was typical of most vehicles of the 70s. It certainly had less
to go wrong than the T3.

The T2 was strong, roomy, comfortable, plenty fast enough (in 1.8 or
2.0 form... forget the 1.6!) in nonAmerican versions, and it handled
extremely well also. Only real faults might have been vaggue steering
at straight-ahead and poor heating.

Gee, the T1 wasn't bad either, though the hinged cargo-bay doors
(sliders were not a common option in the Splits) tended to warp and
split and the swingaxle independent rear was NOT good for towing
heavy vehicles.
