    The Berlingo is not the most attractive people carrier around. However, we love it all the more for this, as it's a proven case of substance taking precedence over style. That tall roofline and those square, slabby sides give excellent head and legroom inside, and the large windows provide great all-round visibility. The well established 1.6-litre petrol and diesel engine and gearbox range has a proven record. The huge adaptability of being able to choose between five and seven seats is a real bonus. This car is truly the ace of space.

    I've had a 2012 model for nearly seven years.
    Because I don't feel the need to impress anybody I have the following.
    No monthly car payments.
    Very low running costs, with super practicality.
    A car that suits my needs rather than my ego.
    No grief at the MOT centre.
    No worries about it being stolen.
    No need to hire a van when moving large items.
    My next door neighbour went looking for one as his family grew larger.
    Unfortunately now prices for good used examples seem to have gone a bit silly.

    I have one of those. And it´s really fantastic to go through large trips. Because of the internal space, the flexibility of the rear seats, and the nice driving feel. The controls and steering design is good too. The visibility let you have a surrounding view that let you convert a work trip into a pleasure trip.

    This is an excellent vehicle for people who want a means of transport rather than a cool status symbol. Our first one carried our entire kitchen in flat-pack. Our current one takes four passengers, two dogs, a wheelchair, a slow-cooker and a halogen oven plus luggage for four (for 10 days), a jumbo coolbox with perishables, and lots of other bits and pieces for when we go on holiday over Christmas and New Year.
    The space inside is amazing, there are even drawers under the seats, underfloor lockers in the back and for passengers in the back there is very good headroom (you don't even need to slide across the back seat, you can walk!) Knee room is good and there is about 2 ft of space between the front of the back seats and the back of the front seats so you can even sit cross-legged. The rear seat is split 1:2 so you can take large items and still seat two in the back.
    They are reliable and economical and with the 1.6l turbo diesel, remarkable nippy with a top speed well over 150 kph.

      It's all a matter of taste I guess. Personally, I like the look of the Berlingo 1 facelift more than the newer ones, and I prefer the look of the Fiat Doblo over the Citroën.
      Some people find the Renault Kangoo pretty and cute, which I get, but I find it too much of a cartoon car, but too boring/normal to look cool.
      None of these small vans will win a beauty contest, but they sure look a lot better than the first ones that came on the market, and even better than a lot of normal cars...
      F.e. I like the looks of the Fiat 500 normal, C and X better than the Doblo, but I think the new Doblo looks a lot better than the 500L and Panda.
      I can't speak for the Citroën range as none of the current ones actually fit my taste.

    They have to be moved up when the seat is occupied. The design is such that if you don´t extend them upwards, they will bother your back, so you are forced to lift them up to proper position, which I think is a nice idea. In the meantime, if you don´t carry people in the back, they can remain down there to increase visibility.

    The interiors hard plastic and doesn't feel nice, c'mon it's a utility vehicle and there is a reason for it, that's easy to keep clean and in the situations this van is likely to be used in that's no bad thing and hey it's not as if the Berlingo is priced as a luxury MPV anyway what'd you want it's a Citroen it's not the highest rung of manufacturers it's an economIcally minded light MPV so the interior quality isn't number 1. My dad had the old Berlongo yeas the interior could've been abit nicer and I agree that it is abit noisy and poorly insulated but what van isn't, only thing I think that's well insulated is the VW Transporter.
