2012 Volkswagen Routan Overview, Reviews, Ratings & Specs

I like that it has seat warmers. I wish that i could save the seat info for 2 drivers. I like that it drives like a dream.

Love my routan, smooth and fast; however once in a while the engine stops, steering wheel follows and all lights shut off. This happens when driving a 10-20 miles/hr. My husband who s a mechanic has been trying to figure the issue but could not.

Reliable, lots of room, and has great safety features like the back up camera. Good mileage in city and on the highway. The TV screens for letting the grandkids and the husband watch DVDs on long trips is a life saver. The back seats easily lay down into the bottom of the car to create great space for hauling business equipment.

The van has 2 screens to watch TV on. 4 cupholders up front 2 in middle and 4 in back. It has screens to block the sun from little ones eyes. Different settings for the ac and heat in each row. It has heated seats up front. Automatic doors that also have an off option so you can protect your children from hopping out of the vehicle.

Love our Routan, I was looking for a SUV. I needed a lot a room for a special need stroller, feeding equipment and our service dog. The SUV did not have the space. I went to a Volkswagen dealership and saw the Routan. It had great room for all the equipment I needed. Seats fold down and if you do not want them all to fold you can pick which one you want to fold down. You can take seats out easily. Heated seat awesome for Wisconsin winters. Has two DVD player with no extra cost and a bonus for us. Came with cordless headphones. Each DVD can play different movies if they do not want to watch the same. Great for traveling to doctor appointments. Easy to get the kids out of the van. Extra plugs for all electronics front and in the back. Plenty of cup holders. Locks for the doors and windows, so kids cannot open them. Floor storage compartments with easy access to open them. Seats are very comfortable and recline back for naps. Fits three big car seats. We have leather seats, easy to clean. The back seats in the van have plenty of legroom. Center of the seat has no seat in front of it, so for an extra tall person there would still be plenty of legroom. No major repairs. Just the basic tires, brakes, etc repaired. We have almost 200,000 miles and it is still running awesome.

The only problem I have had with the vehicle so far is the air conditioning. I had to have the system replaced. I love that the front seats are heated. It has automatic back doors and the back seats can fold under go make more room. I have had the van for about 2 years now and have not had any problems driving in the snow or rain.

I love the leather seats and how comfy they are. I love the fact it fits are whole family. I like that it has media screens for both the 2nd and 3Rd row.

Very reliable and comfortable for my kids and the grandparents. Never had mechanical issues. The leather is easy to clean. The built in storage is great for sports. Wish it was all wheel drive. Wish the air conditioning was more powerful. Wish it also had a sunroof.
