I took the plunge 6 months ago and bought my first "van" - a 2 year old Caddy Alltrack. And let me tell you, it is the best motoring decision I've ever made. The space and versatility is just nuts. I wanted something with which I could take the kids camping or put the two (large) dogs in the back, or do the school run with cello cases and sports gear. Plus it had to fit in my very tight (4.6m) parking space at home. Plus I wanted fuel efficiency. Plus I wanted something with a little zip. The 103KW Alltrack with DSG gearbox ticks every single box. And I don't care what critics say about a Caddy's boxy look, mine, in sparkly brown, looks like a million bucks. There is no SUV, crossover or station wagon that answers even half of those requirements. Will happily recommend it to anyone.
Great video , would you still recommend the 1.0 trendline if i need to tow a small trailer with a dirt bike or should i get a lower spec 2.0tdi ? Looking at buying used ...thanks
Thanks Kyle... I would suggest the 2.0TDI for this application - sure the 1.0l turbo petrol will get the job done BUT the additional torque offered with the diesel and bigger capacity is going to make towing a breeze and benefit your fuel consumption too! And you will be able to get a DSG...
So what is your definition of ‘off-road’ any traditional hatchback or sedan can very happily take on a gravel road...so it’s no different for the Caddy
@@MariusRobertsProductions 90% of people who insist on 4 wheel drive, all wheel drive, high ground clearance etc never end up needing any of that. For me, if the car can get to the camp sites around the Overberg, Cederberg and West Coast along those dirt roads, it doesn't matter if it's only front-wheel drive with regular ground clearance. The Caddy will easily make it up to a campsite like Beaverlac and back, or places like Driehoek or Algeria in the Cederberg. Plus you then have a car that's manageable and nippy in town. Win-win.

Hell yes to that! They are brilliant - wish more people purchased based on needs and with their heads instead on image and status! Good job
Which one is better between the Opel Combo, Ford B Max and this ?
What's your verdict?

@@MariusRobertsProductions thanks very much going to look at a 2.0 tomorrow
Low 155mm clearance means no off road (and I'm not talking about the real off road).

Remos is a great vibe
Pumelele ZA Yep - my local! Love it
I would buy the caddy over an SUV great preview
Totally needs based of course but sadly very few do that exercise - SUV's can't come close on space and practicality
