Yes indeedy - Bristol City Council have started to use them (Doblo version) and it's basically the same 1.3jtd engine as I've got in my old shape Doblo.

My 2006 Doblo 1.3 (730kg payload) pulls me 400L plus a 200L trailer and a second chap absolutely fine.

Post by: rg1 on February 28, 2012, 03:11:03 pm: Don't forget to add VAT to the cost of purchase and if you're taking out finance then monthly repayments will also be subject to VAT.

Post by: KS Cleaning on February 28, 2012, 09:05:05 pm: I would guess because it has the Vauxhall badge it will be a lot dearer than the Fiat version.I pass a Fiat dealership on the way home and they have a brand new Combo Maxi £8995 + vat,probably be the entry model at that price.
