Vito

hey guys , i have been reading this unreal website for a few dys now, in particular this section on the V series. i have been interested in purchasing one of these vans for some time now and have heard mixed reports. Many have been about there issues with relabity and costs to fix such problems, but many have been very positive. can anyone shed some light onto this unclear subject?

It also has switched to rear wheel drive from the front wheel drive setup of the previous model. It actually has pretty good ground clearance!
