At least that's the way I see it. If you're driving around family members (or even friends) often, a Mercedes will do a lot better if you ever get smashed into by another vehicle.
As far as conversion goes, people seem to be voting that a Mercedes is a lot easier to do than a Volkswagen, but I bet most that voted Mercedes haven't done a VW. ;)
Rabbits get better mileage. I know someone who drove from Virginia to Georgia in a VW pickup on one tank of diesel fuel.
I think overall, if maintained properly, the VW is gonna be cheaper, too, though riding in a Benz is lux.
Let us know which one you go with and how the conversion goes! Thanks for posing the question.
Rabbit for a single, Mercedes for a family
