I'd like a classy five-seat commercial please...
Hey!
I'm in the market for a new executive commercial vehicle - but it needs to have five seats. Loophole a go go... The obvious choice is the Land Rover Discovery, but I understand they are being phased out and so my leasing company won't offer it as an option. Things like an L200 / Ranger / Hilux / Navara are a little TOO commercial for my tastes...
The Pajero Executive is nice, but the equipment, engine and layout all seem older than I am. The Touareg is a nice bus, but seems expensive compared to the rest and I've heard so-so reports in terms of value for money. Any ideas what else I should look for? Do Volvo / BMW / Audi do a five-seater that classes as commercial?

Citroen Berlingo Multispace: good for dogs?
Is the Citroen Berlingo Multispace a reliable car? What are its weaknesses? I'm involved with training dogs for a charity and ease of cleaning is one of the issues.

Is the Volkswagen Caddy the best van?
Hello, I am looking to buy a small van, and I have being told that I should only be thinking of the Volkswagen Caddy. Are Caddys so reliable that it's my only choice? I would also like to know what are the common issues with Caddys.
Kind regards

Santa Fe or Land Rover Discovery Sport?
Hi,
I need a commercial 4x4 for towing and general business use. I've narrowed it down to the Hyundai Santa Fe or the Land Rover Discovery Sport. Which is the better 4x4 in terms of economics, comfort and resale value

Worth importing a van for private use?
Hi,
I'm looking at importing a Volkswagen T5 or 2006-2007 SWB Kombi, 2.0 TDI diesel, windows and seats in the back with no bulkhead. First thing is, can I tax and insure it privately? Secondly, could I buy a commercial van in Ireland, remove the bulkhead, add rear windows and seats and tax and insure privately for roughly same price as import?
Thanks in advance for your experience.

Am I mad to go for Land Rover commercial?
Hi there,
I am a rural vet driving a SWB commercial Toyota Landcruiser. I need to change to a 4x4 with more seating for the kids. I'm thinking of a Land Rover Discovery utility commercial. I'm wondering am I mad to make this move as the stories over the years about Land Rover reliability are plentiful.
