Berlingos have the most uncomfortable seats ever! You will most certainly notice this after the Forester. I did!
Even the 2.0HDI is slow. You can get a chip, but it doesn’t work on the Bosch ECUs, only Siemens.
Forget it. you will never take to it after driving a decent car. Even the ” ooh, it has cubby holes everywhere, aren’t the frogs clever!” is bullshit.
I sold mine within a month. The missus hated it, my daughter hated it, my Jack Russell hated it with a passion. She couldn’t see out of the windows and the bench seats were so narrrow she’d fall off.
Oh, and they’re not that economical either; 40mpg max compared to nearly 50 for the Rover 75 that followed .
Oh, and for some reason it cost £100 more to insure than a modified Forester S-turbo…
