Having given up on finding a suv here in France I am down to the 3 above options all on an 08 plate 1.9 jtd Doblo 1.6hdi Berlingo 1.8 Tourneo glx any one got an opinion on which comes out the best?
I bought a Doblo 8 years ago based on it appearing the most reliable option on the information I could find at the time. It's been fantastic and I'd have another tomorrow. Will a Berlingo be easier and cheaper to run in France though?
A petrol one.
Our (1.3) Doblo is in for new injectors - very common about 70,000 miles, so I've found out.
Not cheap.
All diesel parts are all eqsy for these models its eally down to the most reliable and long lasting .
Ace based on an engine option that isnt there you blanket ban diesels. Bit like me blanket banning petrol vws because their 1.4 petrol was shit.
The biggest will be the tourneo - but how easy do the seats come out...its also the most van like.
The berlingo should be a mk2 so have easy to remove seats - although heavy.
The 1.6 hdi engine has its gremlins so make sure of the service intervals and how its been adhered to..
The 1.9jtd engine used to be ace- although iirc it change design about that era so worth finding out which engine code it has
The rest of it is very good - I'd still have another one.
🙂
A petrol one.
