Where each one leads
Plymouth Voyager
- On Canada's official test the most frugal 1999 Plymouth Voyager uses 12.3 l/100 km, the 2003 Volkswagen Eurovan 14.4.
Volkswagen Eurovan
- Against cars of the same year, the Volkswagen Eurovan comes out better in New York safety inspections (fails as often as average) than the Plymouth Voyager (fails 15% more often than average).
Only measures that do not depend on how many cars were sold: pass and failure rates against cars of the same age, ratings, fuel use and CO₂. How we compare
