The people saying a T5 drives like a car must have really bad cars.
T4 2.5tdi. Ex AA van. Woofed up a bit by the AA. Goes very quick if that's your thing. Drives like a van because it is but is a very easy drive. Afraid to say that if you find them a hassle to drive you are a spaz and should not be on the road. Would like a T5 but can't afford one and doubt if a second hand one would have been as well looked after as a ex-AA jobby.
In true forum style T4's are the best because I have one.

I've had a couple of ex AA T4's and had them on the rollers, neither of them were any different (power or ECU map) from the standard 102bhp T4.
I think the idea that the AA vans are more powerful than standard, came from the fact they were listed at 114bhp in error at the Auctions.
Ahh but didn't buy it at auction but from a garage whose sole business for a few years was flogging them so I believe them. Compared to other vans I've driven its fast when you floor it and hills present no problem. I'm more than happy with them and will drive it to its demise a long way in the future. I hope.
They bought it at Auction though. All the dealers (banwy vans etc) that sell Ex AA vans but at auction, as they all go for sale at auctions as they are released from BT Fleet.
The 102bhp 2.5 TDi is a powerful lump and it has loads of Torque. Which is why they feel more powerful than they should.
shouldn't be too much of a worry. i live in Germany
Low emission Zones are Europe wide and German has loads of them.
