Got a Transit Connect. Good van, stupidly cheap to run, takes a battering.

I run a Transit Connect and a large new Peugeot Boxer.

The connect is such a good all rounder. Ours is the 90bhp LWB version and takes a lot of abuse and can fit more than you think in it. Also if you get one with a cage bulkhead and not full steel the passengers seat folds flat and the cage behind it flips round and clips by the gear lever. Its good if you have things that are long in length. Its really nice to drive also.

I've got a mk4 astra van and it's great, much better than transit connects I've had in the past.

Got a 56 plate combo at the mo while mines getting repaired and it's shit, you can't see anything behind you.

Getting a mk5 astra van soon, only 1.3 though

But the Transit connects and movano's i've had i could see fine out the back You cant see jack shit whats behind you out the side mirrors, can see fine whats in the other lanes, just not directly behind.

Its fooked now anyway the EML's come on so its going back to the hire company. Only had it 4 days! Hopefully i'll get something better this time.
