multipurpose car/van type vehicle suggestions

[gensetsteve]

Mercedes Vito dual liner 110 hp. Make sure you get one after 2006 and make sure it was one they galvanised. 40 mpg on a run and tows 2 tonne and its rear wheel drive.

Vito/Transporter that size van (1 tonne class is it?) should do it.

SWB Crew cab transit? 3 seats in front, think you can get 4 on the second row? Plus big enough load space in the rear. Car park and school run friendly.

Anyone got any good solutions to the eternal problem of finding a vehicle that can perform the following roles

carry 5 or 6 people occasionally

be a van most of the time

return 40+MPG

be nice enough for a 60 mile a day commute

pull a tonne when needed

cost around 4-6000

 

all ideas greatly appreciated

 

Berlingo, Partner, Kangoo or VW Caddy

audi a6 quattro?

 

carrys 5 in comfort

as big as a berlingo

pulls very well

for an older one cost only a couple of grand

4wd

shares many parts with vw so wont wear out as quickly as others but still affordable to repair

good choice of engines

citroen dispatch 1.9 hdi with some rear seats

I had high hopes for the new dacia duster 4x4 crew cab pick up

 

But they are not importing to uk.....

 

Guess that renault/dacia/nissan relationship means they want to sell nissan pick ups for £25k rather than dacia ones at about £12k

 

I might consider lhd one If price right

renult traffic 1.9dti with rear seats and windows will do that all day long.
