Seats in the enterprise spec are not comfortable if you're tall and you CANNOT tilt that short seat base! When you increase the height the seat base tilts forward too much. Our one came with no ply lining and it's like DRIVING A KETTLE DRUM - I've had to buy some Dodo mat to see if it sorts it. Edit: The road noise on the Continental tyres is still a huge problem even after deadening the rear (wasted money). Also the ride and handling are diabolical. So to sum up: Very noisy, slow, uncomfortable and not very good to drive. How did this van get 'van of the year'? Cheap to buy, stuff the actual driver.
I rented this vehicle to move things from apartment to new one and after 6 years of staying at place i have loads of stuff to carry. It save me a lot of money from not hiring “man with a car” service which charges 50-60 euros an hour
75bhp is the low power, is the other higher powers a secret.Is the heater no working, he's weel happed up,and lugs covered is it noisy and cauld in the cab.
thumb-upped the review. I'm the 405th viewer, to hit a thumb, either way. BTW, I'm not, ordinarily, a van-type-guy. For this, however, I'll make an exception.
driving at minus 7 degress last week washers freeze because they are fitted inside the metal wipers...try throwing water on the screen with your hand out the window at 70mph on a salty motorway....that was fun...
Are these vans subject to lower speeds on roads, 60mph on dual carriageways etc?? I've just been done for doing 70mph on a dual carriageway with a central reservation, never had points in 30 years before😢
Yes they're classed as a light goods vehicle so the reduced speeds apply. The are capable of carrying heavier loads, thus the breaking distance increases hence the reduction in speed limits on certain roads.
After driving one of the PSA vans (Peugeot Partner), I was impressed with the interior space and car like ride. By the way, how can I get those gloves Tom?! 😁
Tom here: Employees only on the gloves... although I'll have a word with the boss to see if we can do merch! I love the PSA Group vans, all of them, especially the Citroens, are worth your time & money.
@@vanaramauk Thanks for the reply. I'm just waiting for our fleet of dated Mercedes Citan, to be replaced with the PSA vans or even the Transit Conect.
French made, give it 3 years of various building sites, the paint will fade and parts will fall off, don't like the Electronic handbrake, maybe i'm biased but better quality in a Transit Connect.
Berlingos are fantastic. Great MPG too.
Tom here: Couldn't agree more. Well worth the money.

I love it. Hope they keep the unnecessary gadgets to a minimum.
2nd gear...up to 5000rpm lol. not your typical diesel van driving review. More like what grunt did it have in 3rd?

Good van, but after leasing a vehicle for five years I would never lease again.
Sharks.

Very biased review, be nice to hear some things that are not “great”
This guy should be on the new top gear shows. Apart from Chris Harris he's better than all the others.
They can' t afford him.
He doesn't know the difference between the coolant temp gauge and the "oil temp gauge".

Maybe, but then Clarkson fixes everything by hitting it with a hammer, yet look at him.
what is the road noise like...?

Can you remove the top half - or all of - the bulkhead, so you can look into/access the cargo area from the driving seat?

The gearbox is horrible to use. Plenty of notching involved... He couldn't be more wrong there.
So not a crew van?
Waiting for a review of the updated PSA group 5 seater please.
Tom here: It does come in crew form. I'll see if I can get one in!
@@vanaramauk would appreciate it, Cheers 🍻
what is a colour? Grey Artense or Platinum? Thanks :-) I planning to buy

load capacity and that extra hatch allowing for longer load lengths is very interesting for me personally..
love it
I went to view one today. No CD player, I am not buying one.
Who even uses CD’s anymore? I bet no new vans have them
@Claudio Junior … Have you just come out of a 15 year comer or something?
Learn to spell coma
1989 is calling, it wants you back
Front looks like that of a miniaturised VW transporter.
Is it possible to get air con in the loading bay area?

Better than any British van
Berlingo is actually built in Spain. The Transit Connect is built in Turkey. Good van knowledge buddy.
@@taekwanlew the transit connect MK2 is made in Valencia, Spain! While the new Caddy based Transit connect will be made in Poznan 😜 #befactsaware
He works for Peugeot/Citroen
The next 2023 model is the ugliest van I’ve ever seen
fantastic van
I love this guy. Best Berlingo review on UA-cam!
