Anyone using one of these yet? Looked at one the other day with 800kg payload i think so could possibly carry 500l?

[matt]

i like the size of them, the only down side its a pooroen

now if it was made by a german company, i might be interested

im torn between the VW T5 sportsline and the VW caddy

then again, who knows what will arrive

  I am taking delivery of a Berlngo tomorrow, but it is the old model - its cheap now!

 Matt, I have just had rid of my Merc Vito - crap German thing, wouldn't touch another German vehicle, had mercs, audi, vw and a skoda (vw), all crap, nearly as bad as the rover we had.

Go to citroen dealer & get a brochure for one. The LX 1.6hdi has 851kg payload & has loads & loads of top features, THREE front seats too. This is a superb van for up to 500ltr max.
Best of all i've seen this very model for 9.5K OTR, YES OTR, inc vat + everything!!!! Only you will be privvy to this info though david

Why thank you Antony  I don't need one at the moment. I'm a little different to most folk on here i'm afraid. I would prefer to have the smallest van i could get away with for parking etc rather than a truck with acres of unused space in the back and a swimming pool of pure water for those massive commercial jobs that i don't have.

1.6 with 500ltrs in,you`ll be luck if you can get it off the drive.That van is no where near man enough for the job,sorry.

NWH you are funny  if it has an 850KG payload then it will cope with 500ltr easily. How come you use a little connect van with 500ltr then?

The shocks and springs will cope but beleive me the engine won`t,i have a LWB turbo diesel connect with 500ltrs and it`s guttless.For 500ltrs you need a medium sized van ie vibaro trafic minimum,if you load a van like that it will drink fuel at an alarming rate,my van is going it`s just not man enough for carrying that amount of weight.I`ve said it before ignore the payloads on these vans,speak to someone who has 1 and get an honest opinion not a smarmy salesmans 1,payloads go on weight being carried it dosen`t tell you it will struggle to pull it.

Had a Citroen Picasso with 1.6 hdi and was pretty impressed. Wife's car has a 1.4 Deisel only three cylinders and pulls easily with five adults on board. Modern engines have come a long way especially deisels.
Some of the bigger vans still have fairly small engines with the extra body weight too - what's the Vivario 2ltr?

its a 1.6 hdi though, not just some bog standard 1.6

s.posed to be 90 bhp and i belive is ca be mapped to 110 bhp

now thats got to be man enough for 500 kg

The 1 he quoted was 1.6hdi,the 1 your talking about i agree would be good enough.

Same bhp - 90, in fact the 2ltr is 80 i believe.

[NWH]

70.
