My wife has the 1.3 I can't fault it at the moment, it's done around 95k and can do 66mpg. | |

Love my 1.7 CDTI Combo :) Nippy as hell for a van! Mines done 155k and I regularly carry near its max payload with no problems. The only main problem I had with mine was the Suction control valve which is really common from what I've heard. Causes cold start stalling/hunting. My dip stick also rotted off but thats about it :) | |

The 1.7 I had was great. Had the problem with the waterpipes leaking but they're not difficult to get at. Managed to get 64 mpg out of it on a run to Swansea and back last week. 65 the whole way with cruise control on. For a combo Deffo 1.7, had a 1.3 and it was quite nippy until you put any amount of weight in the back | |

As above. The 1.3 engines are good. Just dog slow. | |

I've bought a 1.3cdti as a daily driver. Its fantastic on juice but literally the slowest thing i've ever driven. | |

Rather have a Berlingo or simelar. Citroën make cracking little vans | |

Nothing wrong with the 1.3, but if the 1.7 is cheaper to insure do it lol | |

'll be watching this thread incase my wife's busines starts taking off, I would imagine they are much of a muchness for light work but for towing / moving heavy stuff about you would want the 1.7 for the extra grunt | |
