Renault trafic is a good bet I found mine great and very comfy, worst fuel consumption I've ever had though that was the 1.9 DCi it was having £10 everyday in that for just a few short trips, gearboxes are very prone too (as I found out with mine was chattering). Very nice though  Thumbs Up!

Does it have to be a 7 seater? If not we use Merc e classes 2002 onwards shape some have around 300k miles (no older than 53 plates) and they still drive good most of them. Good on fuel, quick and a nice drive  Thumbs Up!

I will say though don't be taken in by Renaults claimed fuel consumption for the trafics if you're looking at one of those, mine was never loaded with anything and it was using £10 per day, good comfy van though, nice to drive, good to look at, nice levels of kit  Thumbs Up!


Dont understand why the poor fuel consumption  Undecided
Ive driven a trafic before and i was suprised how good it was on fuel.....mind you it was only about a year old with a 6 speed box in it.
Thats one of my considerations.....a trafic is a 9 seater.....2 more than my viano.....so potentially more work for it  Thumbs Up!
A 53 plate vehicle is too old to get licensed where i work unfortuantely....
Dont go and buy a new shape E class at the moment, Merc have an engine problem with all new merc diesels at the moment....injector failures.....the firm i work for has a 59 plate 2.2 E class.....its broken down 3 times so far.....all injector faults.

Do you actually need a people carrier/bus thing or would a car suffice? I guess you're only licenced as a 4 seater?   Luggage capacity helps on airport runs etc. I'd be looking at a big comfy estate car. Not necessarily a Mig but Audi Merc Volvo BMW etc.
   As much room as a chav carrier & way more class for your passengers. Smiley


Im licensed to drive upto a 9 seater  Thumbs Up!

Trafics are one of the most comfy big vans i've ever driven also much comfier than a friends galaxy.

My trafic did have the 6 speed box also but there must've been something up with it somewhere. Was a good van though  Thumbs Up! We do have a few electrical problems here too with our e-classes.
