Amazing busses!!! I have had 4 now, with an Oettinger 6 powered one the latest.
Best four wheel drive ever, and it pisses on anything landrover on the road in terms of speed, handling and all round comfort. Pity they stopped building them!!
Of course Land Rovers are better off road - it's their entire purpose. However, a Syncro is still damn good off road with the bonus of being far better on the road, reliable, more comfortable and a generally better all rounder. Two vehicles in entirely different categories.
Really nice vans, surprisingly good off road vehicles but no need to run over the Landy logo... A well equipped Landy would run circles round that thing.
, er yeah, w/e mate, these Vw's are awesome and pretty good off road, but search in youtube 'land rover off road, then come back and tell me landys aren't better
@KubikCv I wonder how that van coul reverse on such a steep incline without front wheels transfering power and having one back wheel in the air. That would effectively make it a FWD on a steep muddy hill with one driving wheel off the ground = impossible. Front wheels must have been working too otherwise he wouldn't be able to climb that hill in reverse with just rear wheels transfering power.
That is UNBELIEVABLE from 0:31 to 0:45! I didn't even know that was POSSIBLE! THAT deeply submerged for THAT amount of time and STILL running strong like its on dry land!
Mike has done it...created the best ever syncro video! When your friends and family question your sanity or judgment in maintaining a 20 year old vehicle, just show them this video. A true SUV...sport utility van. Great job Mike!
Damn.... It's.....it's van I will definitely buy a buyout

In all fairness they seem quite capable, although for serious stuff I would stick with a Land rover.

but of course a real military truck like a unimog will top the syncro. It is, after all, a civilian recreational vehicle.

You must be british. Only rabid nationalism could cause someone to be so blind to the superiority of the syncro. Viz: 1:45

The trails are easy for most jacked up 4x4's. But the fact that VW made a van that you can camp in and go off pavement in, is really awsome.
