Title: Sportline or 4motion
Post by: FOREST GREEN on 18 August 2011, 21:35
So, I'm about to get a new company car and I have the opportunity to have a van instead of a car for a change.

So, do I go for the SPORTLINE or the 4MOTION?

Which ever van I go for, it will have 2 seats up front, 3 in the back (all leather), it will either be RED, BLACK OR CANDY WHITE

Does anyone have any experience with either van? what to look out for etc..

Cheers

Toby

4motion.

Because it's epic instead of just shiny.

Oh and provided it has a single slider and a tailgate I'll have it when your lease ends.  :grin:

I don't like VW commercial vehicles. Last time I drove one, I couldn't wait to give it back.

You are clearly not of sound mind.

*sigh*

Well, I'm clearly not of a bandwagon mind. It was f**king awful, dull, plasticy and outright sh!t. I've driven a Berlingo that was of far better quality. Sure I love VW cars, but I'll jump off the bandwagon when it comes to their commercial vehicles which are effiing tripe.

What?

You sure you weren't in a Transit?

I've been in a lot of VW commercials and don't remember them being any of those..... Transits on the other hand...

Not everyone gets taste all through their vehicle ownership.

What would you have instead?

That's very true. I'm not sold by the VW badge alone, certainly when it was that dull. Put it this way, when you get in it and your face drops because it's bland, plasticy, tinny and awful, you've got to think about it. I know it comes as a surprise to some, but the Berlingo I drove was actually a better drive and better cabin to be in. I'm thinking about this at face value, not VAG bandwagon wise.

What would I have instead? If I had to commercial wise, nothing VW, unfortunatley.
