| Questions regarding Sprinter/Interstate
I'm an RN and drive between 50-100 miles, 5 days a week to work for 12 hour shifts. I have 2 Mercedes that I split the milage between. About a month ago I was looking around on the internet and ran across the Interstate and fell in love with the looks and the idea of this type of veichle.
My question is what is the fesability of using this as a daily driver? I understand the I-5 Turbo can get a realistic 20 plus MPG. I mentioned the Mercedes history to state my knowledge of the pricey maintenance, but reliabilty of their engines and final drive. I am thinking how nice it would be to have some 'things' with me each time at work....sodas, dry grocery items, change of clothes, my gym stuff. Then the idea of having this sort of room for pick up from school, trips to Walmart ( 35 miles from my home) with my 2 children. The TV, with possible video game hook up, or movies.
What is your input over this line of thinking. Would love to hear from you guys that have these.
