If you go with the smaller size van then consider a Fiat doblo cargo also. ;)

i looked at one of those 1.9d but the guy who was selling it said "its bad on diesel"

come to think about it he must have been the worst salesman i have ever come across  ;D

My doblo is the 1.3 multijet TD. Loads of torque considering it's such a small engine & SUPERB fuel economy!

I had a Kangoo 1.9D before which was a good van but the Doblo beats it in every respect!

Got 2 Doblo's and can't fault them. At the time of purchase I think they had a slightly higher payload than most other vans in their size range too. Not sure if this is still true.

If u want from that list.I would go for the doblo.great vans.
Only downside is only having 2 seats but are a much better van than the expert.
If u want 3 seats get a fiat ducatto/relay/boxer

Excellent vans

thanks for all the advice guys, was going today to veiw a 53 plate doblo 1.9jtd with 66000 miles on the clock,
it was 109 miles from me and was up for 3000 + vat but just as i was leaving my mate called me and offered me his fiat scudo 04 plate 77000miles 2.0jtd el for 1500 and its mint so i bit his hand off  :) the vans only been used for cash and carry runs.

i love mates rates  ;D

Good move, that Doblo is WAY over-priced!!
