Fiat Fiorino / Citroen Nemo / Peugeot Bipper

Hi, anyone got any experience with any of these 3 vans,good bad of indifferent?

I guess they are all built in the same factory with the main difference that Fiat use a different engine. How does the 1.4HDI stand up to the 1.3 multijet. I have read that the 1.3 multijet is a tried and tested engine with a pretty good reputation,not sure but maybe the 1.4HDI is newer and any weaknesses are not so well known yet?

From what I can gather the multijet is euro 4 and the hdi euro 5, so I guess that means the Citroen/Peugeot have the dreaded DPF where as the Fiat probably does not?

My use would be pretty much country driving with little or no heavy loads. Mostly carrying bikes, dogs and my sons kayak.

Any info or advice on these small vans is much appreciated.

Cheers

I considered one of those vans when i was in the market for a recreational van. In the end i just went for an older (2005) caddy. The bipper/fiorino/nemo really are impossibly small in the rear which explains their rarity. The principle reason for not buying any of them was the dash and general interior. I just found it so tacky and poorly built compared to the caddy

Cheers for the reply. I haven't seen one close yet.But I have read where some say the pedals are pretty close together and because of the shorter wheelbase can be a bit bouncy without a load,did you find that?
