Good Points

Comfort, handling, width compared to Transit, slightly thinner which helps.


Bad Points

Gearbox chewed up at 28,850 miles, a known fault across the Renault Traffic, Vivaro and I think Nissan vans, A £1,000, makes you want to spit,and thats just for a set of bearing being replaced, not happy at all, hear the master cylinder is a common fault and one of the pressure pumps chews up and can eat up the injectors etc costing £2,000 up to £3500 if the head has to come of etc, noisy when at speed, the wing mirrors are a hazard if you are tall, as the blind spot is out of view and is non adjustable, the ariel is in the middle of the roof which is no good for a roof rack (which idiot thought that was a good place to fit one) Build quality appears to be apalling, using poor quality components.


General Comments

Great looking van, drives well, but not reiable, have had other problems with it, sensors etc but nothing as expensive as the gearbox, a working van needs reliability as a must and this sadly does not deliver the goods,too much down time, think I will go back to a Transit for the next one,as before, an expensive experiment unfortunately.
