Best small economical van

[harvey b davison]

i like citroen. Had a C15 for 9 years and never let me down despite being abused. Now got a 10 plate berlingo multispace to ferry the kids around. had it 4 years now and again not one once of trouble. Its a brilliant multipurpose vehicle. So for me it would be citroen all the way.

Ragged my fiat doblo van now for 4 years with out one problem, cheap on fuel and cheap to buy!

Yeah I would be interested in views on the Peugeot citroen bipper van. Just chopped my 05 corsa van (brilliant van) in for next model 09 plate. Ecu now waked, common problem as they get rainwater in them. Also it's bigger dimensions on the outside and smaller on the inside then the older shape. Does drive brilliantly but it is not as economical as the old one.( both 1.3 diesels) spoke to a specialist who said it is a fiat engine which would explain the electrical problems- damn Italians!!!!!

Any of the little French car derived vans are good value, I think a good few of them are badge engineered and use the same running gear.

Got a little fiesta van 2 years ago for one of our surveyors, 62-70mpg and as never needed anything apart from a couple of services and two new tyres.

Citroen belingos are Probaly best bang for the buck Vauxhall and fiat 1.3s do like to drop their timing chains apart from that good little vans

My 04 Berlingo Multispyrs 2.0 HDI has 178,000 on the clock, know all the things to expect. Alternators every 80,000 heater fan resistor every 4 yrs. Finally changed the clutch and gear linkages at 169,000 apart from that just tyres, pads and usual service items nothing else. Tows 750kg unbraked, 1.4 ton braked enough for me.

Avoid the wee Fords (Connect?) - heavy on fuel and tyres

 

I have the low powered connect 07 plate for running around. 500 miles to a tank of fuel I think that's quite good.

I have pretty much settled on a corsa van, it's a nice little sportive model, only 10,000 miles and goes like stink.
