They are so good we have two! Got the 1.9D (no turbo version) and the 2.0 HDi version. The 1.9 is slow but v. cheap and reliable. The 2.0HDi is faster but very cheap and reliable.
They are huge inside. Our record is 4 bikes (2 x road and 2 x mtb) and all the stuff for a two week holiday in the Alps… all with the rear seats still up (for sleeping on the overnight drive – the footwells in the rear were stuffed with clothes though). We cruised down at 80 mph all the way (HDi one!). We did do the same trip in the 1.9D once… we ‘cruised’ at 65mph!
We’re selling the 1.9D as we can’t fit our kiddyback tandem inside and still have one seat up in the back (see Classifieds, pm me if you’re interested). We’ve got a 1.9 Tdi T5 panel van which is bigger, faster than the 1.9D and slower than the 2.0Hdi.
Birdage – yes it’s possible to put a 2 bike rack on the back. No problem. We didn’t obscure the numberplate or lights.
