I have been looking at minibuses for a while now and decided on either a Renault Trafic 150ps SPORT or a T5 shuttle 130ps

In terms of spec they are both similar in engine size (2500cc)and the trafic is a bit more powerful, both LWB, air con and toys (the trafic has alloys and body coloured bumpers)

The VW will be a hundred pounds a month more expensive (over 60 months) which on paper is a lesser van.

but when it comes to selling, part ex etc.. will the VW be a better buy? as they are more sought after.

Also is there a new model of the trafic due? as the T5 has had a facelift and new engines.

also how do they compare to each other in every dau lugging people, economy, driving etc?

Have you looked at Transit Tourneo Ltd. I have a 9 seater not sure how it compares on price cos mine is leased, drives well came with f+r aircon, alloys 6 disc cd and bluetooth and rain sensing wipers costs about £80 quid to fill and get about 580 miles per tank on mainly short journeys school run etc.

Hi Andy

Yes I have but the engines seems a bit pants for what i want.

also the VW and the trafic come under 2m which is important for the european tolls 🙂
