Don't Buy a Mercedes Sprinter Van until you watch an honest perfectionist review Sprinter
What happens here
The reviewer critiques the stereo system, noting it sounds good but is not user-friendly, especially for navigating a large music library from an SD card while driving. He gives it a 5 out of 10 for usability. He then highlights that the large windshield is problematic when driving west into the sun, as it lacks tinting at the top, leading to excessive heat. Another design flaw is the cup holders, positioned on the dash where the sun heats drinks, and their shallow depth causes items to fall out. He stresses the need for more charging outlets (USB or 12V) throughout the van, especially for modern electronic devices, and wishes for a 110V outlet. Finally, he mentions the lack of a secure place for a cell phone, as existing pockets are too shallow.
Goal: Address issues with the stereo's usability, windshield sun exposure, poor cup holder design, and insufficient power outlets/storage.
