Title: new citreion berlingo
Post by: Deangsi on March 06, 2013, 01:51:05 pm

anyone using the new berlingo van 12 plate 13 plate? im looking at getting one in the next two months just need to work out if its worth it as its over 4 years and i want to be certain its rite for me i mainly work on my own rarely getting through 400 litres of water a day from my flat wydale tank. any comments welcome ;D i have the old expert at the moment x reg it runs nice but is starting to show its age now so wanting a bit of comfort i looked at the new expert but i dont want to pay the amount they are as i dont think i need it for my small buisiness

i looked at them but i thought the payload wasnt high enough, the lwb isnt really lwb it just has bigger rear end added on which looks gash, i looked at all the medium size vans berlingo, combo, transit connect, nissan nv200 etc and thought the doblo maxi was by far the best, i didnt want to go bigger because the doblo can carry as much weight as a vivaro, new scudo, transit 280 but with better fuel economy and cheaper insurance, i like you  dont need a van any larger, you've seen my 600l tank there is still loads of room in the back,

only good point to the berlingo they have 3 seats,

i got a really good deal with my doblo maxi i paid 9945+vat brand new twin side doors 1000kg payload elec windows air con fog lights heated electric mirrors plenty of mod cons,

i'd defo get something with at least a 1 tonne payload and a 600l tank, you dont have to fill the tank everyday i only use about 350 ish per day but i do have commercials and a school where for hours the van doesnt move and i need lots more water,

get something that wont need upgrading,

If you test drive the Doblo Maxi,try doing a 3 point turn in it,the turning circle in mine is apalling,does my head in :( apart from that it's a good van with a big payload ;)

defo take your time and research, look at everything, size, payload, engine power more importantly torque, etc
