November 22, 201213 yr We have a vito and I think it normally get's around 40 mpg. What size are your feet (heavy foot ?).
November 22, 201213 yr Two bikes in a Multispace no bother and mid to high forties with the old 1.9 normally aspirated.
November 23, 201213 yr I've got a 2010 Renault Trafic which is nice to drive, I've trimmed out the back and fitted three extra seats (and side windows) so that I can use it as a family vehicle. Looking at quoted mpg above, my van's not the most economical, I can just get 40mpg if I'm carefull, but 38 is the norm. Two points worth mentioning. If you modify the van with seats, it makes it much harder to insure (correctly) and, unless the van is car based, the speed limit is 50 on a single carriageway road. Not 60. Pete
December 7, 201213 yr Author I bought a combo a few months .. Nice and economical but not as nice as the vito I had .. Bike fits in nicely and cheap to run back and for work as bought the LPG one
February 3, 201313 yr I'm thinking of a combo or caddy crew van (need rear seats during the week) does anyone know if the rear seats are fixed or can be removed quickly to give more space
February 3, 201313 yr i have a kangoo with a steel bulkhead which is economical and the bike and all the gear fits in diagonally- only downside is it is 2 seats- considering a multispace
February 13, 201313 yr Defenetly a Ford Transit(standard wheel base) cheap,efficent on toll roads and ferries and a lot of space.Went last year to Italy for the Classic trial in Campo Canavese.3 People,3 Yamaha TY's.Back home with 3 TY's and 2 ISDT bikes from ebay and a lot of parts some people bought on ebay.So 5 offroadbikes is no problem.No they where all complete.Lot of people watched us when we packed the Van on Sunday afternoon and everybody said no you never get 5 complete bikes in.Yes,we did. Cheers:Mike
February 13, 201313 yr trafics are an ace m way van cruise happy as larry in sixth turning in just shy of 40mpg over the years i ve had em. stuff like caddys and connects dont do any better mpg wise so the space is the deciding factor.. the new pegeout partner has a longer body 3 front seats option and would be ideals ..BUT its the same money as the car to buy so not justifiable.. but bikes go in it straight.. i rode my tlr to the dealer to check!
February 13, 201313 yr Ive had a 2008 115 vito sport from new. Average mpg from new is 27mpg. It is the worst van i have ever had. Its had £8k spent on warranty work. Bought new for £25k. After 3 year offered £8k to px against others.. Just going to keep running it until it stops. Had a trafic before this which my mate bought and it is still quieter than my vito.
February 13, 201313 yr I've been pleased with my Trafic, I lloked at the factory combi with an extra row of seats, but the swb one wasn't big enough to get the trials bike in the back. So I bought a standard van, trimmed the rear, fitted side windows and removable seats. A single and a twin. I can remove the single and get one trials bike in, or remove all three and get everything in. Here's a shot of it loaded up at Mallory Park recently.
February 13, 201313 yr We have the LWB Trafic crew cab, really pleased with it, three bikes and all the gear and still room for six people.
