metisse Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 I am looking to buy a new van and could do with some help from those with van experience. My yard stick for a van is whether it will take a trials bike... although the lack of trials in France dictate this is really not a viable argument... However on that basis what is best overall small van , a Fiat cargo or a Ford Connect. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers I get to use a ford connect from work to transport my trials bike, it handles really well and is quite pokey (depends on which engine you get i suppose) and you can get two bikes in easily (think its the lwb version) it does seem to be a little bit thirsty tho. dont know about the fiat cargo never driven one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
telecat Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 I think the "Cargo" van is known in the UK as the "Doblo". I have to admit I haven't seen many at trials, it is bigger than the Little Peugoet/Citroen van so should fit a bike in. The Connect should be ok as it is bigger than the Vauxhall/Opel Combo which easily takes a bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firedfromthecircus Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 I looked at both of those mentioned when looking for my last van, and ended up buying a Caddy. Still love it now. Take from that what you will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
