Miles Overview
The Vanagon is Volkswagen's iconic van from the 1980s, offered as a practical people mover and, on the Westfalia camper version, a tiny home on wheels. It's slow by modern standards, but that's part of the charm; you drive at your own pace and enjoy the view through those huge windows. The interior feels like a cozy studio apartment when you get the Westfalia pop-top, with a stove, sink, refrigerator, and beds for four. Owners say older Vanagons need regular wrenching, and parts like transmissions can be hard to find and expensive to replace. The Vanagon is the base model, so you get the essential van experience without the Westfalia camper conversion's kitchen and pop-top roof. Its 2.1L I4 makes 90 horsepower and pairs with a automatic transmission, which means you'll be taking your time merging onto highways. You can still add a Westfalia conversion later if you want the stove and fold-down table, but the bare Vanagon leaves you room to build your own setup.
