Hi,

We've had Renault & Citroen van-based-cars (i.e; Kangoo etc.) and in terms of space they've been great. In terms of reliability and cost to repair; they've been French.

I've been scratching my head trying to come up with a Japanese / reliable van-based-car alternative. Needs to be £3000 or less - nothing new. What do people think?

Thanks in advance,

Steve

If you don't mind driving an import, the Nissan Cube.

Nothing special, but quite reliable.

If you dont mind something bigger (I.E. a van based van) you can get Nissan El Grands pretty cheap.

Edit: Also the Corsavan/Astravan

What about a Mitsubishi Delica, or is that a bit big?

I'd say a Suzuki Wagon-R. Although they stopped importing it officially about a decade ago so it's either an old model or a grey import.
