Right, I have blown up my second Renault Kangoo in the last 2 years today on the M50. Looks like engine is a write off (waiting for bad news from mechanic but 1st impressions is timing belt has gone)
so I could be in the market for a new one (or fairly new) very shortly.. what yiz recommend for a small van? fuel efficiency, price, reliability, comfort all important ... Im hearing vw caddy? any thoughts? |

I had a VW Caddy and it was as good as gold,only problem was it was to small (Painter & Floorlayer ) they also have a Maxi Caddy (built after i got the Normal Wheelbase ) which has a lot more space but looks brutal , with VW its expensive but reliable im now driving an Nissan Primastar!

like the look of the caddy alright, scouting around for a 2012 demo model. maxi is a bit weird looking and just a bit big for my needs.
.....fooks sake I have me van written off already and the mechanic hasnt even looked at it yet |

Auris 1.4 diesel. Cost a nice bit more than the Kangoo/Berlingo/Peugeot/Fiat/Nissan Kubistar equivalent (all effectively the same van with a different badge) but no timing belt (on a T-Chain), as near as gets to bullet proof reliability , economical as ya like. If not big enough, go for the Fiat of the above yokes, AFAIK they have a 5 yr warranty these days. (not any more reliable, but at least ya have the cover)
