[QUOTE="Dustyroads, post: 583400, member: 22610"] some1else, yeah, I guess you could say I liked the Sprinters. I drove over 400,000 miles in two of them. As for the comfort, one week in the new P500s and I'm am crippled. The difference in a solid front axle and the independent front suspension is huge. I'm 5'9", and they fit great. The seat was sooo much more comfortable; a worn out seat in a sprinter is more comfortable than a new seat on day one in a P500. You mention the "small" size of the Sprinter, actually, the cargo area was 6 feet longer than the 500's and had that great WIDE sliding door. The longer wheel base made them much more stable. And, with regard to safety, the Sprinter's handling is so superior to the workhorse chassis, that it's like comparing a Ferrari and a Massey-Ferguson tractor. And, as I posted earlier, the sprinter was the only package car ever equipped with a driver's airbag and a padded dash. Airbags save lives. The new 500's, "squirrely on the highway", poor "brakes, suspension, and steering", as you say, coupled with a deathtrap cab, it's a bad combination, ticking away at drivers' lives. [/QUOTE]
