Generation 2

Yuri, Penza, 2.2 109 l. With. A car for all occasions, it is ideal in the city and on country trips. It reaches 120 km/h without any problems. The noise in the cabin is at an acceptable level, and handling is decent for a van of this class. The suspension is energy-intensive and can withstand all the holes and potholes, of which there are many on Russian roads. In addition, the Sprinter starts perfectly with half a turn, even in cold weather. Now the mileage is 80 thousand km, there were problems with the wiring and fuses, the Sprinter is still not for salty winters. But you can live with it, it consumes 10-12 liters per hundred.

And now our company is thriving, and the opportunity has arisen to purchase a batch of brand new 2009 Sprinters, in good condition. I'm riding one of them. I'm happy with the car, I praise the modern design, good handling, load capacity and reliability, which was so lacking in the old Sprinter. Average consumption is within 12 liters/100 km.

Under the hood is a 150-horsepower 2.2-liter engine, which is enough to spare even when driving uphill. High torque, which is necessary when transporting heavy and bulky cargo. As for the design, I will note the modern appearance with aerodynamic shapes, and I will also draw attention to the higher quality materials used in the interior decoration. Practical velor seats, warm to sit on even without heating. The functionality is at a high level, but nothing superfluous. Everything is done strictly and tastefully, no touch screens for you. The push-button interface is more familiar, especially since this is a truck that doesn’t need show-offs.
