small van

[Tom D]

Any recommendations for a small van, looking for something economical and reliable; berlingo, partner, combo, fiesta etc.

 

Good points bad points?

My mates just been round in a berlingo he borrowed from work for the weekend, Its on an 06 plate, turbo diesel, trip said 55mpg, Nice and comfy inside, More room in the back than i thought there would be and it was RAPID, never been so fast in a van

 

If i didnt need 3 seats id be getting a wee van myself. Tax is really low and they are great on fuel

the boss here has just got a new transit connect 1.8(?)turbo diesel, fully loaded (air con, heated seats, engine warmer ect) it was about 5K cheaper than the vw caddy alternative. tows a fair weight, super economical, nippy, comfy, not too flash, looks the part sign written, plenty of space for kit. very good little van!

I was told by a B.T worker that transit connects are the vechial that fails its M.O.T the most. Hence why B.T replaced there whole fleet with vauxhals

Astra van! My mate at work has had one for a while and loves it wouldnt change it for any vehicle.

 

Also another mates dad got one and very reliable very cheap to run.

the connect is probably a little big, and the escort is probably a bit too old,its for my employee to take home at night so economy and cheap insurance are important.

 

Thanks for the info so far.

If its not to carry anything Tom get one of those ford ka vans they are ok get about 50mpg and cheap tax/insurance.

Cheap to buy as well you can get an 05 for a couple of grand.
