My vivaro has 160k on the clock now and I dribble every time I see a new transit custom! But £16k for the base model ouch! Think I will be going for a vivaro sportive in a couple of months

16k for a basic new tranny? Is it me or are they really UGLY? Ha ha

The crew cab is fantastic mate. Getting around 35 mpg round town. Kids love it and plenty of room for tools in back. The back area after seats is roughly1.5 m long. Chrome trims fit in from top corner to back corner. It's on a finance lease from mw vehicle contracts.

Has anyone on here bought one of the new transits?

I was looking at the custom sport earlier, £25k plus! Bit out of my price range, there's supposed to be a new vivaro/trafic out soon, I'd like to see what that'll be like.

 

[stusgsx]

The sport is so nice but yes out of my price range too!
Oh really I didn't know about a new vivaro but it's about time they changed it a bit

It's been the same shape since it first came out apart from a little face lift 7 years ago, I wonder if they'll do a brand new design to compete with the new transit? On the plus side, if there is a new model, there should be some belting deals on the old ones.

Had a look on google and found images of it being driven about France and it shows A different front end which looks more like the transit http://www.commercialmotor.com/latest-news/exclusive-first-glimpse-of-new-trafic-and-vivaro-models

Is it tax exempt now Andy?

 

[Stef]

I looked at both the Trafic & vivaro & the Trafic is the better equipped out of the two,
Got quoted almost the same price for the 2 but the Trafic has reverse sensors, satnav, elec windows/mirrors & cruise? (I think).

It's French though I won't buy anything French since they took pervy pictures of our future queen

What is the Vauxhall vivaro van like guys ?(Bri)
My Vauxhall can is a pain in the rear end!!!
Now looking at something else.. But what?

 

[stusgsx]

My vivaro has been great had it 6 years

 

[Ian]

Mines been great, very reliable and nice to drive. It's needed a few things in the last 12 months, clutch, pads and discs, steering rack, all wear and tear stuff though. I've had it 3.5 years and it's cost me less than £500 per year on average. Another vivaro next definitely.
