I sold my ticking time bomb 2000 Sebring for a 2006 Sprinter 2500 HC. It's the 140" wheelbase with a standard roof making it a perfect daily driver. I find the engine much more pleasant to listen to and hearing the turbo spool is loads of fun, not to mention it is more practical and reliable than the car it replaced. There have only been a few instances where I wished I had a sedan instead. Florida is all about travel, so the small diesel engine that would sip power made the most sense to me.
As a kid, we had a few E150s and they were okay vans but didn't have the charm or economy the Sprinter does. Not to mention, my standard roof Sprinter is taller than the high top Ford vans we used to buy.
Seating position is second to none, being that high up and not seeing much of the bonnet is ideal IMO. The mirrors are also the best hands down, especially if you have the "towing" mirrors that you see into the other lanes around you.
I may actually have a hard time going back to a sedan (eventually I'd like to get a 300D or E320 CDI, the E320 is pretty rare here in Florida and the 300D's are starting to go up in price).
The Sprinter is used for both recreation and commercial needs.
PS I'm averaging 21-22mpg with 18" G-Class wheels. In a van with over 220k on the clock that drives better than the Sebring could ever hope to despite the Sebring only having 95k on the clock when I sold it.
