    Need to buy a bigger van, business is finally picking up a bit 😀

    I'd normally never buy a French car, but I've heard their diesels are better. Are Renault traffics any use? Or should I spend the extra few quid & go with something more reliable like a VW transporter?
    I'd be buying second hand, hopefully about 2006-2009, so need something that'll carry on with a few hundred thousand miles on the clock!

    Any advice is appreciated on the following:
    trafic
    transporter
    Transit
    Merc Vito
    Primastar
    Vivaro
    Hiace
    Hyundai h1

    Or any other suggestions?

    Thanks

    I'd have the H1 out of those.

    I'd have the transit personally, but I'm biased on them! :P

    A hiace or a h1 are the most reliable vans on that list. I'd be opting for one of them over the rest. Those trafics are rubbish in the reliability department tbh.

    Thanks for that, wouldn't of thought the Hyundai would get so many votes already!!
    Is the H1 fairly new?
    Is the older yolk as good? Think it's called a h100,

    The h100 is a very old design, very like the 80s Hiace in terms of sitting over the front wheel. I know a guy who bought a few of them new. At the time they were very cheap compared to other vans.
    They are small enough in the back.

    The H1 is completely different. Irish spec ones are 170bhp, RWD, and have sliding doors on both sides as standard as well as a bulkhead with window.
    They're very comfortable, and any ones I know of have been reliable.
