[Ian]

As requested, let's have a vote. Also feel free to post reasons why.

 

[Mike Mike]

Ford Transit. Everything else is absolute rubbish. The end. :lol:

 

[Ian]

I've done the poll now, so feel free to vote :lol:

As featured in the Sweeney. Transit. The one and only.

 

[Tony73]

vivaro, as i have one, very economic, easy to drive round. transit should work on design a little (looks like some box)

 

[Dan]

VW Transporter because as clarkson says, it's the quickest.

 

[EverDon Tiling]

Mitsubishi l200 just because that's what my new ones gonna be, need the double cab for baby seat.

I'd love a sport line, but they can't fit an 8x4 in unless you go for the LWB. I want a van big enough to have a sofa in as well as my tools, so I can have a power nap if I'm having a hard day :lol:

 

[Brinkley]

Did i mention they look the business

Has it got much rust on it Andy? That's one thing that's always let ford down.

Yeah but only takes a year before the rust starts to show. lol

I used to have a Vivaro, had nothing but trouble with it. Mine started drawing air into the fuel. £3000 later i get it back and something else went wrong with it. But when it worked i loved it!

Leasing a Caddy Maxi at the moment and absolutely love it!!

 

[DHTiling]

5 yr paint warranty, so I doubt they will rust.

Ive got an 08 plate Primastar, brilliant van, not missed a beat in 2 an a half year.

A dumpling reversed into me in a car park & i ended up with a courtesy Transit for nearly 2 weeks, absolutely hated it. its not a patch on the Nissan.

would love a VW Sportline though.

Mitsubishi l200 just because that's what my new ones gonna be, need the double cab for baby seat.

i had a brand new one about 4 years ago the new shape , biggest mistake i ever made hated it , i got one because could get kids in aswell
the angle of the accelerator is to steep on a long run i got bad cramp in my foot , very thirsty and can get enough gear in , thats just my thought on them you might luv it

 

[strummerman]

Let me know if you get a good deal, i have been looking for a LWB Trafic Sport.

I was in at the local Vauxhall dealer, looking at a new van for me & a new Corsa learner car for the wife so they might give me a good deal on a Vivaro.

Would prefer a Trafic, (still love a vw sportline though :lol

yes lots !! it used to be white, now its brown and white lol, the only thing that lets transits down is the rust, the engines are bullet prove, mines just past an mot so can't be that bad, and even though its 14 years old its only done 90,000 miles, will proberly change it next year ....for another transit, of course..

It's still pretty tidy, a mate of mine has a 52 plate and it's rotten everywhere, he doesn't look after it very well mind!

My transit is rubbish! New diesel pump ...900 quid, new flywheel 800 quid, all comon faults apparently! Only done 70k, oh and the rust! In the last year...Gearbox selector siezed, power steering pulley siezed, slave cylinder leak. I will never ever buy a transit again! Suppose its just your luck but I have lost all faith in Ford! Think my next van will be a berlingo, had one for 2 year and nothing ever went wrong with it and it was not a new one at the time.
