There have been some reviews on here over the years. Simon from nicolai runs one from memory. I'm tempted, but still thinking of going for a vito

Not got one but had one as a hire car for a road trip to Aviemore one weekend. I think it was the 1.9TDI 115hp one, older shape. Went quite well for something that size, drove like a van as expected. Loads of room, enough for 7 of us and bags for the weekend.

This is my lust machine if/when I'm ever tempted to replace the berlingo. It's definitely a fair bit longer being a 7 seater (or atleast having a 7 seat option), but the cost will probably rule out anything but a 2nd hand mondeo next time 😉

we had a Caddy maxi 4motion van with 110bhp. Not very built from memory. Poor plastics which broke off and suspension went rusty very quicky. Leaf springs does nothing for the ride quality. It's a bit of an odd shape as the sides slope in which reduces load space.

I looked at one but ended up going for the SWB Caddy. Lovely vehicle though. Not much smaller than a Transporter but they're built far more "car-like", like all the Caddy range.

I've got a set of brand new roof rails going cheap if you buy one... 😉

Have one with the 1.6 DSG - LOVE IT!
Does everything I want, great MPG, bike lives in it along with kites, climbing kit, etc AND still gives 4 seats full time.
The bench seat is great - slides out in one movement.
fold the single down an that's where the bike goes along the side.
fold the double instead and three bikes will go in wheels in and still take three adults PLUS kit.
All seats out and there's a double mattress in there to go climbing at Font 😀
Had 12 full size pallets inside it the other evening!
