copemech Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 Dabster, what are the Fiat vans called there? Seems as though we are supposed to get what is referred to as Ducato later this year, looks like a Sprinter sorts. They will be called Pro-master here.

Had one before I even had a drivers license,Biotch had "Stow and Go" seating way before it's time! Maybe had 13 horsepower though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manx2day Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 I have a Fiat Doblo. Brilliant little van and i can fit my bike in easily on the diagonal. Mine has the bulk head but i had one previously which didnt and can easily fit 2 bikes in. I haven't tried 2 with the bulk head yet but i reckon you could get them in. Enduro bike fits in too. A bit snug but perfect fit. I don't take much notice of the MPG but i can get close to between 550-600miles out of a tank full (don't take much notice of how much is in a tank either!) I use it all the time, to and from work and everything in between. It is a turbo 1.6 i think. Would recommend one to anyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NAD1 Posted March 30, 2013 Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 Just had this issue myself. Transporter or Vito. I chose a Vito Sport Dualiner For me it came down to what it's going to be used for 90% of the time for me it will be my family car 10% have bikes etc in. comparing the Vito to a Transporter in that situation a 100% no brainer - Vito ALL day long. In the Transporter you know you are driving a van,in the Vito it is a lot more civilised and comfortable. From a bike carrying perspective the Transporter wins as the bikes go straight in no problems whereas in the Vito I need to roll the rear seats forward (10 second job) MPG wise I couldn't tell much difference between the Vito Sport or Transporter Sportline when I drove them but the Vito was showing 40mpg on drive home from collecting it. Only had Vito a couple of days but love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jj65 Posted March 30, 2013 Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 Vw caddy maxi, can fit 2 bikes and a single rear seat (can revert it back to a 7 seater in about 10 minutes) 2.0 140 tdi DSG, pretty quick and averages 50 mpg and when I had nowhere to go fast, 63.9 mpg :0).
