It's refreshing to see that you guys have reported on the important factors that courier drivers etc look for when buying a van instead of racing them around a track. The Peugeot ticks all the right boxes.
Youve missed the info on how hard it is to do fluid checks and maintenance on these vans when they are full of tools and equipment. Also I have the older Hiace and the headlights are not adjustable for when you carry constant weight in the back. In my old Mazda vans Id attach shelving and piping to the inside for storage but in my latest Hiace the metal is so thin that it wont hold a screw for any storage system.
Next time review the Trafic with same options as your Transit and Expert, not the entry level ! The 1200kg load capacity chassis is more firm than the 1000kg one and has less wind sensibility. The separation bulkhead with the long items trap flap is available and change radically the driving feeling. Reverse camera is available in option As Dylan Muir says, this is not a good review
@@powershin12 in Australia they offer the new Toyota Hiace whereas in the UK they offer the Proace which is a rebadged Peugeot. I like the Peugeot but if I wanted a Toyota I'd rather have a Toyota than a Peugeot with a Toyota badge
says a Schoolboy from his mothers appartment, eating mama's spagetti with souce. But people who actuarely earn their money from working, choose wisely and don't throw money on the table just because overrated vanlife-dreamers tend to choose "VW" or "MERCEDES" vans. When you grow up, you understand this.
@@bestvideos4ever1 I'm trying to decide on which 2nd hand medium size van to buy for around $25000. Could you suggest a van that will be the best value for money and reliable?
Fuel Consumption is mostly important. You aint said a word ? Here is my opinion: -Ford 10 Liter/ Diesel on 100 km -Renault 6,5 Liter / Diesel on 100 km -Toyota 9 Liter / Diesel on 100 km -Hyndai 12 Liter / Diesl on 100 km this is real world comparison, not the recomended from manufactor. Besides Renault is cheapest Spare Parts Market Price, its also a cheapest Repair cost. Also The Renault Motor is running 200.000 Km withou any issues, usual Runs over 500.000 Km after this you have to run service :))) Every other Manufactor strugles to get their Counterfit Gearbox to run on their Engines Smooth and without Breaking in 50.000 km. But most can't do it without repair. So overall Cost ist like this: Renault ist most all all "HIDDEN CHAMPION" of every Category you can image, Cost are so low, that you probably will byu a second Renault of of the Cost you spared for Service. And if you are Handy Men, you can Repair REnault yourself ! its more fun ! For me there is NO COMPETITION for Renault Trafic ! all thouse Counterfits Vans, who some took the Gearbox from others, Motors are anothers etc. Renault builds all by theirself just for this VAN ! And they do it PROPER WAY ! Even Mercedes can't reach the Standarts of the Renault, and thats why they decided to just take the Renault Motors and build them in Mercedes, but very few People know this, and its not alowed to advertise. Think Twice !
The Renault you failed on as it's got barns doors at rear if you want also. Also it can have sliding doors both sides or just one side. I don't know if your being paid to favour a certain van or not but you haven't done a good job at all with this video. The new Toyota is not mentioned also. This is a fail in my books as to show all the vans and what's good and what's not.
In the UK most builders use vans. Vans are targeted by thieves for the tools they may contain. I had a Mercedes Vito which had the sliding door bent in half in an attempt to rob me. The ford transit is the most popular van in the UK Cause it’s a good van however the 1 thing that haven’t covered in this video is security. The transit is a joke! A wrench will give you access to the drivers door in 10 seconds. And now they will punch a hole in the sliding door to get to the lock mechanism there. All vans are vulnerable but the ford is a fucking joke! Your call lads but if Australia is anything like the UK your ford security will not save your tools!
I’m looking to purchase a new van in the next month or two, (UK). Today I checked out the insurance quotes for Ford Transit, Peugeot / Citroen, Vauxhall / Renault and the Maxus e3. The insurance quotes on the Transit were more than double what they were on its competitors, which automatically rules it out for me.
If vans got as much love as utes everyone would buy them instead. Im a tradie and i prefer the van over utes. I've had a hiace, iload and now the trafic lwb .. to be honest, the renault is the best so far. Its economic, car like, i can pick up my 2 kids from school. Has underseat storage so you can put lengths up to 4.2m long in! I can stand up a 2.7m plasterboard sheet on its edge against my racking... i like it so far!
Obvious ommissions of negative issues from peugeot is almost no dealer network for servicing here in Victoria very limited. High end interior???? plastics are very cheap compared to ford. Steering wheel is offcentre to the left of the body and feels unusual. Might as well not have a bench seat because of the complete lack of leg room in front of the bench seat. All the most obvious issues were excluded from this report. None of these issues exist in the ford. If the new hiace was included no bench seat at all and no barn door option.
My Ford is better than all of them, depending on which setup you buy it can carry up to 1200kgs and the average MPG/L per Km is 4.9L/100ks in the City and 4.4L/100ks getting over 1363ks per 60L/Tank and it will use even less if driven more carefully on the highway, The Transit has been Number 1 In Europe since 1966/67.
I don’t know how it is in Australia mate but in the UK ford are being broken into easily! The biggest factor they haven’t covered in this is security! The lock cylinder on the drivers door can be open with a wrench. And now they will punch a hole in the sliding door to get to the lock there. Many transits over here now will have after market fixes. It’s why I just got a transporter.
@@adsmel5881 the only problem was the injectors where faulty and ford where great gave me a 19 plate transit and replaced with new they are expensive vans but loads of people have said what a lovely van it is and i would say if you can afford one go for it
We bought a 2018 plate Peugeot Expert, 60k on the clock, it looked the part..........never , ever, ever, ever buy a Peugeot Expert!!!!!!!!!!! The biggest heap of poop on the market. The gear selector went , off the road for months, the ad blue fault kept coming on....needs a new ad blue system fitted and seemingly its a common fault (peugeot even offer a reconditioned one as they know its a huge problem) but hey the garage are doing that at the same time as the head gasket and something in the engine broke that stopped feeding water to the collant system and it warped the head!!!, we havent even done 10k in the van, its been in the garage more than we have seen it.

Transits all suffer badly from rust underneath.Annual test centre Mechanic told me they were made in Turkey from Bean cans
:D
Yeah ...Nah.
Crap
full of it no rust in mine
That lack of foot space for your clutch foot just ruled out the renault absolutly!
Where is the vw transporter ?
Sat rusting away in the car park.
Only 52 people agreed with you last year. 12,400 brought the hiace. Next was the iload 8,000 then the ford transit custom 6,500.

For resale value only ,why wouldn't you choose a transit? then add in the dealer !
Why do you use kilowatt instead of the correct horsepower?
Because Australians use kilowatts
