New Renault trafic

Leesparkykent · Feb 21, 2016

Looking at maybe purchasing one on a 15plate. Was wondering if any one has one on here and what are their thoughts on the van?

I've just bought a 65 plate vivaro ( same van ) brand spanking new zero miles on it with that lovely new fresh van smell in the cab lol, and it is a beautiful drive like being in a car.

Yes mate but I can't tell the difference from the 1.9 I had before it, I've never been a fast driver but this one seems a lot sharper for a 1.6, It's the cdti and while being classed as the basic model it still comes with Electric windows, mirrors, bluetooth, Eco mode, traction control and most important drivers armrest lol.
I would highly recommend it.

EDIT** It also comes with 3 years warranty which is when I will trade in for another brand new one.

Think these vans are all the same basic body, wheel train etc. Nissan, Renault & Vauxhall. My youngest is looking to replace his aging Trafic, with another, probably leash hire. From conversations I had with him, the Renault seems to have a lot more extras as standard, whereas the Vauxhall doesn't.

A couple of pics to give a view of the interior.

I can't speak for the Renault but I am happy with the extra's on mine and to be honest we have to remember it's a van. When I first went to the Dealers I was thinking of going for the Sportive version but then thought of all the things that could go wrong with all the extra gadgets etc.

Not sure of the extras, sat nav was one I think. Think with him leashing, the Renault was cheaper than the equivalent Vauxhall. Not saying anything bad about u van, nice pics by the way (showoff

), just what the end monthly fee is. Vanarama is who he's looking at the moment, if anyone has any dealings with them, by the by.

Yeah not bad at all, I would recommend them.

Cheers I'll let him know. Do they have big balloon payment at the end, sorry is your thread!

PS My lad recommends his Trafic van.

Depends what finance/lease you go for. My customs on contract hire so as long as van is within the pre agreed mileage allowance and not in a complete state then the van simply gets returned at the end of the contract.

Contract hire then, thanks.

Some people can't get 10k loan, but can get lease. Wouldn't lease myself, but there u go.
