Vauxhall Combo 1.3 CDTi Diesel Van.

I am considering down sizing from the Connect to one of these. Is anyone running one, what are they like to live with etc.

All comments wanted, good or bad, but honest, not opinions.

Cheers..........Howard

not had one But know a few guys who have astra estates 1.3cdti n wouldnt pull you out of bed Suspect the fuel economy would be out the window having to work like a horse better with 1.5 1.7 me recons

**** just swapped to vivaro from it 1.9 diesel, smoother drive, similar fuel, couple of quid in it

I am a bit surprised with the fuel economy, i heard 50+ mpg, and road tax supposed to be £115 a year. May have to have a rethink then, my connect does 34 fully loaded up and with a slipping clutch!

Thanks for the replies.
