Other Choices:

The Sprinter offers far more interior space than the standard-wheelbase GM and Ford vans. Each of the full-size van models from Ford and General Motors have a harder, busier ride than the 2009 Dodge Sprinter Wagon; they don't steer as well as the Sprinter and lack its maneuverability. For 2009, the full-size GM vans (Express and Savana) have standard electronic stability control, but the feature is available on only some of the Ford lineup. Fuel economy, of course, is where there's no comparison. While the V-6 and V-8 engines of the GM and Ford models return fuel economy numbers in the mid-teens in most driving, the Sprinter gets mileage numbers well into the 20s.
