			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Review of VW Routan</strong></p>
<p>We purchased our VW Rountan as a used 2009 minvan with 14,000 miles on it.  We bought the extended warranty of 6 years and 100,000 miles.  Here is what I like about the van and what I don’t like:</p>
<p>Like:<br />
1.	 Remote start:  This is a great feature to start your car ahead of time without having to go outside – it allows you to cool down or warm up your car – and it is just a really cool feature.<br />
2.	Automatic with shifting – I didn’t think I would care about this feature but I really love it.  When I need to downshift to pass another vehicle or if I am on a hilly road, it is very nice to be able to handle your own shifting (yet clutch free) and use regular automatic when in more normal driving conditions.<br />
3.	Seat heat warmers get VERY hot, which I imagine will be really nice on a cold day.<br />
4.	The wireless headphones so that I don’t have to listen to the TV when the kids are watching it, I can listen to my stereo!<br />
5.	The Bluetooth connection is great.<br />
6.	Having a hard drive and an Aux connection is great<br />
7.	I really like having the rear camera for backing out especially with how big the van is.<br />
8.	Having 3 power doors.</p>
<p>Dislike:<br />
1.	 The force and location on the air vents.  It gets really hot in NC in the summer and I wonder if the AC will make me feel cool enough, I am used to the high speed, freezing cold air blowing in my face in my Sienna – the Routan doesn’t angle up enough to hit my face and the amount of cold air does not seem like it will be enough.<br />
2.	The dual TV’s block my rear view out the window.<br />
3.	The controls to use both DVD players are not very user friendly – especially the DISC one, the VES works easier.<br />
4.	The fact that you can’t store the front seats in the floor.<br />
5.	The van is very long and bigger than the other minivans although it has less head room for really tall people.<br />
6.	Watch out that you don’t hit someone in the head with the power lift-gate.<br />
7.	I wish the engine had a little more power – it is not bad for a minivan but a little more spunk would be nice.</p>
<p>I will add to this list as I come up with more likes and dislikes.</p>
