Guest review behind this vibe (5 / 5, June 2019):
> We had a great little weekend getaway with Buttercup. Pickup was easy and relaxed. As first time campervan drivers we took it for a little spin around the block to get used to the engine, manual gearbox and the steering. You get used to the lack of power steering but it does make manoeuvering and parking quite tricky. The engine is good and powerful though so it's a good drive overall. We moved around a lot in 3 days and really enjoyed the freedom of the campervan lifestyle. Buttercup is very comfortable to sleep in and easy to pack up and get back on the road. On the last day we attended a barbecue and Buttercup acted as a mobile DJ soundsystem much to everyone's joy. She has many hidden talents. One hiccup is that the fuel gauge and mileometer both don't work so you have to keep tally of your mileage to make sure you don't run out of fuel! We would recommend Buttercup to anyone who is comfortable driving a stickshift van and wants a willing companion for their adventures!
