Why does my AC smell like fire?

When did the VW Routan model come out?
Editor’s note: This review was written in March 2009 about the 2009 Volkswagen Routan. Little of substance has changed with this year’s model.

What makes a VW Routan a good car?
The Routan has the underfloor space into which Stow ‘n Go seats would have gone if the feature were offered, and that gives you additional storage. The space isn’t simple to access, and the shape makes it hard to stash boxes or hard-sided luggage there, but if you have laundry, a duffel or the like, the storage room down there is remarkable.
How often do you change the oil on a Volkswagen Routan?
For your info, I have changed my engine oil in average every 5500 miles when the light had indicated that it is time to do so. After test driving the Toyota, Chrysler, Dodge, Kia and Honda minivans we settled on the Routan.
What kind of milage does a 2010 Routan get?
This is a 2010 Routan with 17000 miles and has the 4.0 liter engine and plenty of extras. The quiet, smooth ride is outstanding with good gas milage and comfortable seats. After 5000 miles I calculate the milage at 23 mpg in mixed driving (1/2 hwy/1/2 in town). I’m a cruise control user and not aggressive.
