ford transit or the vauxhall vivaro?

[devonmark]

I'm going for the vivaro long wheelbase, good price new.. a mate who is a courier has the renault traffic version on a 04 plate,bought it new, kept it regularly serviced and it still runs sweet 250,000k later...Mark.

think the main thing people never look at is how you drive and look after your vans. my last van was a iveco turbostar daily on a 99 plate with 600000 on the clock and it never let me down not once and my old van is still going.dont think it matters what van you buy it does matter how you care for it. its there to make you money so dont take it for granted.

its a matter of opinion. everyone will tell you different and its a case of suits you best..

but if you're asking me - go for the ford everytime

they all have good and bad points,just havn`t found any bad points with mine yet and when i got my traffic was the cheapest on the market by far even with all the extras i had put on from factory,my mate bought a brand new tranny the same time i did saying it was the best on the market low and behold he`s had nothing but prob`s with it but as i said in previous post you will get good and bad in any van/car best way to see witch van/vans your best with or you like the best is go into dealers and test drive them and not just for a quick 10 min drive round the block the end of the we spend considerable lenghs of time in our vans so get the best for you and your job/situation needs

And yes my friend has ocd(or what ever its called)so his van is looked after as much as his brand new bmw so not down to not looking after it
