You have a very nice manner. And you inject a bit of humour here and there...when you smacked the table down I creased up. I'll look out for more of your reviews.
These cars now 5 yrs old and really holding their prices. I bought 2007 berlingo 6 yrs ago and worth more now than I paid then. 1.6 petrol been 100% reliable, useful, comfy and economical. Zero rust
@@CarObsession Very welcome. So refreshing to watch a real person do a review. The section regard the table is a text book example of your genuine character. Excellent. Keep up the good work Sir! 😀
Wow, I think this is the most complete and satisfying video about this car. You analize a lot of aspects and I love it, like the last part about the security
This was a great review. The best Ive seen for any MPV, which is what Im looking at. Im surprised you dont have more subs. Id sub only im not a car nut and only looking at cars once every 10 years. best of luck with your channel.
I think the boot size of the Rifter, Berlingo, and Combo Life is pretty much the same, but Vauxhall/Opel measure the space differently to Peugeot and Citroen, so it seems to be significantly smaller on paper, while in reality it's the same.
Great video, by far the best I've seen on this vehicle, you cover everything in an understandable way. However you didn't mention the reversing camera, or maybe that wasn't available at the time you did the review.
I prefer this over a typical SUV. MPV's are now become underrated and SUV's overrated. The Automatic versions: If I'm correct, the PSA group uses the Aisin automatic transmission which are used in Toyota's, (Aisin I think are a subsidary of Toyota). Aisin automatic transmissions are super reliable.
@@CarObsession You are most welcome buddy. I enjoy the channel; you put a lot of detail into your car reviews which is very much appreciated. Keep up the good work and have a good new year, mate 🤜🏻🤛🏽 All the best.
I know this post will have nothing to do with the Rifter. My Wife chose the 2019 Ford Grand tourneo lwb titanium 1.5D 120bhp was sold on the style of the drive was the 5 seat one instead of 7 as it suits our needs and wants .We traded in our camper with a good haggle and we smitten .Also I drive a eunos mx5 and and a 225 Quattro TT roadster both great cars thanks for the channel anyways 👍
PSA needs to offer this as an EV; there seems to be enough space under the floor for a battery pack. Perhaps they could use a similar motor and battery pack as in the eCorsa (100 kW, 50kWh, 205 mile range).
How can it be that the berlingo, combolife and rifter have different cargo capacity if the car is exactly the same with the exception of dashboard,lights and "nose"?
great video ive watched a few on this car as thinking about getting one 1 on motability for my disabled son ive got just one question if all 7 seats are in and your going away for a few days could you fit luggage and a wheelchair in the long wheel base version cheers. Arron
Does anyone know how the Rifter compares with the Ford Tourneo LWB for rear space? My wife has a Tourneo with a winch for her mobility scooter and the scooter *just* fits in the back with the rearmost seats removed. I drive a Peugeot Partner for work and know it’s a much nicer vehicle to drive. I’d like to be able to talk her into swapping 😋 And of course, the Rifter now comes in EV form, which the Tourneo doesn’t.
Back seats are uncomfortable and too steep. Leg room is poor in the back. Trays are useless. Fuel consumption is not particularly good. Rest of car isn't bad. Mine is 12 months old. I'm happy with it. Just don't carry adults in the back
I think the flow of the video might work better with a script, there is some hesitation when you speak and it intrusion the flow of the video, I can tell you have a great sense of humour and it wouldn’t be a bad thing if we got to see that too. Got have the makings a a great channel here, with a few tweaks it will be brilliant. 😀
Nice review by a nice guy. But why is it these vehicles are always sold as a vehicle for someone who has give up on life. A vehicle for a big family or to be used as a taxi etc.. I'm a single bloke and I'm looking at getting something like this to camp in, get my bike in, cart various bits of crap around etc etc...but when they have the image of a boring family man it puts me off . The VW caddy van pimped up a bit looks good for instance.
Hello Simon, thanks for watching, and thanks for the comment. I think the reason is just based on it's more likely to be bought by that audience of people but I can you point.
Simon, I have one of these. I built 2 solid parcel shelves for the split level boot. One levels the floor when the seats are down and the other remains either low down for cooking on or at the upper height for storing a bit of gear whilst tucking your feet under for sleeping. I bought the wind deflectors for the front windows which allow circulation without allowing the rain in and by some miracle, midges don't seem to want to travel up and under the deflectors to enter the vehicle. Absolutely hands down the most practical camper and work car I have ever owned. I have the GT line short wheel base with skylight, light bar and 17" rims. The traction control is a waste of time in my opinion and only gives you 16" rims... Less clearance. Only criticism is the stereo system as Peugeot don't offer an upgrade. Beast of an outdoor vehicle and I do it all in the outdoors!
@@euangalbally1917 Thanks Euan. Comfort while driving is also important to me too and I think the SWB in black, perhaps with privacy glass may just give it the A Team look and therefore a bit of street cred. Do you think you could get a mountain bike in whole, upright, in the short wheel base version?
I'm in exactly the same boat and need it for the same reasons., but unlike yourself, not really bothered about words like 'style' and 'image' - it just doesn't bother me as I get older and totally subjective. I'm more interested in functionality, if I can really convert the smaller version into a comfy weekend camper when needed, if I can stretch out, not wake up soaking in condensation, can hold camping gear for longer trips, can hold the bikes in the back instead of having to lug them onto a roof rack etc. I have a Belingo XL test drive and a Rifter Medium size lined up for Wednesday, and fully intend to buy one or the other by the end of the week :-)
Hello Mow, thanks for watching, and thanks for the comment. I understand what you mean, but the majority of car manufacturers give dimensions in litres.
@@rachaelfilby9486 I wouldn't be able to do that as I'd have no room for my filming equipment. Edit: Plus, I don't have the budget to buy empty suitcases that I'm not going to use and I'd have nowhere to store them when they're not in use.
Good evening everybody! Apologies it has taken me a long time to get this video uploaded, I've been rather busy in recent months! Anyway, I hope you enjoy my review of the new Peugeot Rifter. My next review is likely to be the Ford Ranger Raptor.
If you mean "Motability", it is available on the Motability Scheme, I have one on order. Only Diesel, but you can choose LWB, SWB and a choice of manual or automatic. It also comes with reversing camera and sensors fitted. Also ramp, winch etc ( if you need a WAV version).
You have a very nice manner. And you inject a bit of humour here and there...when you smacked the table down I creased up. I'll look out for more of your reviews.
Haha, I'm glad I could make you chuckle!

Fantastic video. really helpful. Thanks. Jim
@@flypic1098 Thank you Jim, I'm glad you found it useful 👍🏽.
Picking up my 130hdi sportiness rifter on Saturday the 26 of November after an 18 month wait!
Gt line I mean.
18 months?! I hope it's worth the wait for you.

Excellent video. Very thorough. Hope there's a similar one for Berlingo (XL)? 👏👏👏
Hi Graeme, thanks for watching and thanks for the great feedback! Here's my review on the Berlingo ua-cam.com/video/y_fU8ap46uk/v-deo.html
I have one love it's easy to drive great visibility and not hard on juice ,, Like the front of vehicle have it in black
Great video, by far the best I've seen on this vehicle, you cover everything in an understandable way. However you didn't mention the reversing camera, or maybe that wasn't available at the time you did the review.
There's a good chance that feature was not available at the time, thanks for the positive feedback.
Great review. This is the car I want over the Berlingo it beats it in every way imo!
Thanks for watching Dawn, and thanks for the positive feedback!
Can you name one way?!
Seat colour 😀
I would buy this but currently not available in the Philippines yet. Hope to see this on the streets of Manila.
The Peugeot Ritter and Citroen Berlingo are basically the same vehicles with some trim differences.
Hi Ian, thanks for watching and thanks for the comment.

Hi Tim, thanks for watching - to be honest there probably will be an EV version at some point.
There is an EV version, as there was for the Peugeot Partner.
How can it be that the berlingo, combolife and rifter have different cargo capacity if the car is exactly the same with the exception of dashboard,lights and "nose"?
Your guess is as good as mine! 😂Thanks for watching.

Thanks for the feedback Arron, and thanks for watching!
How come the Berlingo has 500 extra liters of cargo?
I'll be honest, I'm not too sure to be honest. Thanks for watching.

7ltrs per 100 km too
Thanks for the insight.
Can't one tilt the seats in the middle row, say for dozing off ?
@@toneranger nope
cosgrove notts oh that’s almost a dealbreaker. Thanks

Hi Claire, thanks for watching and thanks for the feedback. From memory, I did use a script, so have you got a particular example please?
This is the best review of any car I've seen for ages! Definitely getting a Rifter 7 seater as my next car.
Do the 3rd row seats not fold down? they have to be taken out when not in use ?!
Hi there, thanks for watching. You can fold them down but not in to the floor like the middle row of seats.
If you had a choice between the Berlingo or Rifter, which would you go for? Great video btw!
Hi there, thanks for watching. I'd say the Rifter as the boot is a bit bigger, and I think it looks better.
@@CarObsession you said in the video that the Berlingo boot was bigger.
@@jules9308 I'd need to watch the video and recheck, which I'll need to do later as I'm at work.

Oh, and it's the EA8 version, more room in the front and a slick gearbox with paddle shift. Pretty smart.

Do they all have Grip control as standard? Whati s the grip control like?
Hi there, sorry for the late response. From memory, they don't all come with Grip Control as standard.
I am pretty sure that grip control is an option.
Capacity of boot in Liter does not provide any insight. Measurement is more useful.
Hello Mow, thanks for watching, and thanks for the comment. I understand what you mean, but the majority of car manufacturers give dimensions in litres.
What Car describe boot space in relation to luggage

Need a laden review,load and people carriers with one aboard. Not criticism just an observation. Small petrol engines at least diesels have torque
have to be a hoarder he says... give this car to a fisherman and his sure to fit it with tackle :)
😂
Do you do theses on mobity
Hi Barbara, do you mean are these available on Mobility? If so, then I believe it is, yes.
If you mean "Motability", it is available on the Motability Scheme, I have one on order. Only Diesel, but you can choose LWB, SWB and a choice of manual or automatic. It also comes with reversing camera and sensors fitted. Also ramp, winch etc ( if you need a WAV version).
Hi how much is this please
Hello Barbara, the Rifer starts from £23,360.
French cars and automatic gearbox Oh boy!!
😅
The transmission is from Toyota, this particular model was first used with Lexus RX300
EAT 8 is one of most reliable autos.uses a torque converter. Repairable and back to basics. No electronic computer controlled clutches.
