My 158000mile 09 plate Vito 109 is brilliant!
£20 will get over 100 miles even into London. On long motor way trips it's even better.
Great to drive, even the Mrs was impressed the few times she driven it and we'll replace our current Japanese MPV with one as a family car.
Simple stuff like clearing the windscreen on the heater/blower works fantastic.
Even the stereo sound is good.
I looked briefly at the T5 but they were way more expensive for the same thing
But also you'll see Vianos on auto trader with a zillion miles (ex-mini/exec cabs) on and they still look good.
2.5 130bhp so it goes really well and has a 6 speed box. Gets really good economy on a long run.
Wonder what I'm doing wrong. i get 37mpg, and consider that pretty awful.
Daily driver here. Feel a bit guilty dragging a bedroom 15 miles to work and back every day, but less guilty than i did about having a car for commuting, and a van sitting in the road, only moving it at weekends.
I'd get an electric car to supplement it if i had money to throw around.
T5 Kombi 4 Motion which replaced a Freelander 2 as company car in daily use.
Only advantages as far as I can see:
Massively reduced company car tax
Similar mpg.
off road ability not dissimilar to Freelander.
Way more space - I always judged success of a long journey on how many family arguments we had. These have reduced to almost non existent - everyone has bit more space.
Family summer hol to alps with 5 people + 10 bikes was epic, wouldn't have been possible without it
