Hi everyone,

I'm sorry I titled my original post the way I did... I'm concerned
about these five points...Not campers, not manual vs automatic, not
offroad capability, While perhaps interesting discussion, they bear
no relevance for my current decision making.

Is a Eurovan much harder to park in tight spaces? I live in NYC,
always, always parallel park.

Is the MV Eurovan smaller in the interior than the 87 wolfie interior?

Would I get better mileage with a Auto vanagon, or auto eurovan...
assuming good tune, 50/50 city/hwy and conservative driving?

Is a Eurovan still good for DIY repair, or do they have costly
systems that are almost impossible to repair by an average shadetree
mechanic?

Do Eurovan's handle as well as vanagons?

Cost of ownership of an Eurovan, much higher or lower than Vanagon?
