I've got a Caddy Maxi Life. The quality of the seat fabric isn't up to much IMHO - stain very easily even from just a bit of water! Rear bench is a PAIN to remove and put back in. Other than that is a good veedub - like a giant Touran.

and i thought that was an Iveco design feature, when Securicor parcels replaced Citroen Relays with Iveco Daily's a SLD fell off on a driver - and thats a BIG door - plus you will never ever see a SLD on an Iveco thats shuts 100%

just look out for trapped fingers As the rear passenger gets in thay wrap there hand around the door post and the front passenger slams the front door shut. Seen it happen so many times it put you on edge whenever 2 people get in at the same time

WHOA! Hadn't cottoned on to that! But you are right.

"Our" premier is just coming up to 50000 miles having been delivered in Dec 2011. It has been 100% reliable so far. The wheelchair stuff in the back sounds like a skelton having a lamb shank when going along a bumpy road but I expect most WAV's do. Fuel consumption isn't as good as i expected, avearge 48 mpg. Rear seat passengers can't see lever to open in the dark and there is no rear interior lamp as said before.

old chinese proverb

cheap no good, good no cheap

the same PSA group flooded the commercial market with LWB relays/boxers/ducato's at silly money and a lot of owners regretted buying them

guess who was one of em... 8)

I was looking at the 5 seater versions they are a few thousand cheaper than the Skoda superb but the MPG is not as good and that is the one of of the main reasons i'm getting rid of my Octavia
