I got a transit. My mate has a connect (too small) and we are getting rid and getting Caddies most likely.

Transit Connect's for me. They are good on fuel and reliable. Do have a normal transit for taking big stuff to sites.

Ive Heard The Connects Are Very Heavy On Juice More Then The Transits........

My transit slurps like there is no tomorrow. It is ugly, and damn unreliable. My next work van is actually an Audi RS6. The lads are having the vans!

I get about 42 miles to the gallon out of mine except for when i put cooking oil in them

ive got a 90ps connect and can get about 45mpg, but if you give it some then it drops off by quite a bit as with all diesels, if you boot it, it still drinks it!

does anybody lease a van while were on the subject of vans?

 

[sparkyork]

i dont lease mine, paid 5k for mine which was upsetting!! lol

 

[RookieDI]

yup, I currently have Peugeot Expert 815d.

bad fuel consumption drives, like a dog when fully loaded.

Good if you don't want to be caught on speed cameras

definately enjoy the extra space compared to the Partner van

What do you need to fit in? A roof rack for conduit and you're sorted?
