Took a spin in a new 2007 Sprinter cargo van today. Just thought I would share my thoughts...
First of all, its bigger. Almost 3.5" of interior height and a couple of inches wider. Also, the long wheelbase is now 170"
(158" on previous version ). The entire vehicles seems much more solid in construction, especially when driving, I notice alot less squeeks when going over irregular roads. The most welcome feature in my opinion is there is now a TILT AND TELESCOPING wheel.... Its about time !!!! The new 3.0 V6 CRD Diesel engine is very very quiet and the increased torque / HP is VERY noticable. I still haven't saw any numbers of fuel economy on the new engine. The seat adjustments are much like that found in Mercedes passenger cars and Volkswagen cars. They have the rotating knob for rake adjustment and a ratcheting height adjustment. I think that remote keyless entry is now standard. The power lock button on the dash is still the same as the previous model, it still doesn't make any sense how to operate it
