I took my wife's 283 horsepower (Pentastar 3.6L V6) 2012 VW Routan minivan out for a spin today and was surprised with how much power it has. It's severely traction limited in 1st gear, but I still cracked off a few high 6 second 0-60 mph runs. That's quicker than most cars I've owned in my life! LMAO

  • German quality. Made in USA.

  • @Astonmartin4817 - Actually it's Canada, but close enough. LOL

  • Wait until the little lady sees this video.

    "You were doing WHAT? with my car"

  • @oldmodman - Watch for the revenge video of her doing donuts in my S4 or jumping my Dakota over something. :-p

  • There was no 4th gen IROC Camaro. :p

  • @pyramid011 - LOL, totally right. Take away my mullet card. Edited to 3rd Gen. By the 4th gen, the LT1 should be able to keep them in front of just about any minivan.

  • In tht first clip, do u have the exhaust disconnected or something? cuz mine isnt tht loud

  • @oldmodman LOL

  • a minivan is not supposed to sound like that....

  • @ChrisOstberg We couldn't buy the Routan in Germany thats damage.

  • @ChrisOstberg oh i am sorry but i mean for america and it isn't german quality its from Chrysler, the interior is terrible

  • a complete dodge or chrysler vehicle dress it up a little jack -up the price and voila we have a volkswagen routan...my 2008 dodge GC SXT 3.8 is not as fast but i still can do good runs...

  • @Iridium725 Hehe I used to drive a Passat for two years, only without the turbo (150bhp), otherwise same FSI engine. Id love to have yours, its a great engine, same as in Golf GTI, you should be happy. You can always chip it if you feel its inadequate.
