What Van do you drive?

[aph257]

i'm looking for a van, Despatch, Scudo, Expert etc, but was wondering what everyone else has, with pros and cons.

Ford Transit Semi hi-top. Always had Fords, and I find them very reliable, loads of space and have a good re-sale price too. I trade them in or sell them when mot is due, so can't comment on what they're like after that, but they work very well for me.

I have a Renault Trafic 2.0l turbo diesel 115 bhp and is great.
Plenty of room, economical and very comfortable.

I used to have a Fiat Scudo, which was a smashing van to have and drive, but found it too small for my needs - I swapped it last November for my current van which is a Renault Master SWB

I love it, loads of room, great engine (2.2DCi) and a galvanised body which is perfect where I live next to the sea

I have had a vw transporter T5 for the last 5 yrs. it has been a great van economical/reliable and very comfortable its like driving a car. But sadly it is now up for sale as i have had to get something a bit bigger as ive out grown the room it has to offer! She will be greatly missed (all the tools i keep buying lol) I just hope the renault master i have just bought does me as proudly as the vw did....

Transit LWB Hitop 350. Could do with a Jumbo!!! Nice to drive although the cabs a bit noisy, (even with a full bulkhead). Pretty economical too.

Fiat Scudo at the moment, had it for 7 years now, but been to look at an L200 today

I'm another with a Master 100 bhp. Reasonably economical for it's size. Loads of room, comfortable and easy to drive.

I have an Expert 02 model, really nice to drive and has never let me down.

 

[White Room]

Ford transit SWB, could'nt use anything smaller though

 

[enduro]

I have Peogeot expert 2.0hdi 2008...and it is an amazing van.

Got the Vauxhall Vivaro, lovely van, economical and has all the extras like air con, electric windows and mirrors. It's only the short wheel base and it's a bit of a squeeze getting 8x4's in,(have to put them in diagonally,as the bulk head gets in the way) if i was to buy again I'd get the long wheel base.

 

[Lenny]

VW Transporter T5 SWB.

Loves it.

No, i can get all my gear in no problem, it drives like a car..very good on fuel easy to park. This is my van.

same as Brian,but the nissan version,yes next time would go for the lwb too,but i always go for 'lift' rear door rather than the standard two rear doors.no longer get wet getting things from the van in the rain etc...but last week on way back from working in London the turbo broke ,now fixed but found out that its a problem with these vans (nissan primastar,vauxhall vivaro,renault) all the same van diff badge.
