Drove one yesterday hire van, quite impressed then went back today because i needed another one, drove this one and was well shocked at how fast it was, checked on the back one says 130 and the other 100 i think, the difference is huge, this van would bother most runabouts

Easily IMO is the Transporter the best medium sized van on the market,

I have a SWB 130 as my daily transport, and i dont miss not having a car to drive daily, absolutely love my Transporter, and yes you right they can and do shock a few cars, my 130 has been remapped as it spends alot of time towing.

The 100 you drove yesterday would have been a 1.9 4 banger whereas the 130 is a 2.5 5 pot, there is also a 174bhp version which is a flyer

I swiped a Caravelle for a few days with the 174 motor and a map. Big comfy leather armchairs, seriously clever stereo and a surprising turn of pace for a truck.

I think I'd quite happily whizz round in one, particularly if it was a silly colour!

We've got a 174 van at work and it certainly shifts, the mid range is silly for something so big.
