Does anyone know anything about a Mercedes.....

[katymacracker]

... Vito Traveliner

Are they nice - Has anyone driven one

I saw one yesterday and thought it was lovely (and it went every bit as fast as my smart - which is good as the Smart is a quarter (eigth?) of the size)

Are they very big

Our other car is a Fiat Uylesse...so I am used to driving a tank

Have driven the van version, the Vito, was nice to drive, nice high up seats, good vision etc etc, can think of anything I didn't like about it!

Thanks

Would ther be room for lots of car seats and a couple of double buggies?

duno, soz as I said it was the van, not the people carrier version....

sorry - half asleep

Just traded in our E-class today because I hate it so much. It had worse PMT than I do. The electrics could only be described as temperamental, bl@#dy onboard computer beeps and whines at me all the time even though there is nothing wrong with the car at all. If you ask anyone at the service desk, all they tell you to do is switch the engine off to reset the computer. And ours is a 2000 model which is massively better than anything built between 2002 and 2004 - the build quality during that period was atrocious. They guzzle petrol, customer service from the dealerships is rubbish, even basic servicing costs a FORTUNE, ditto parts if anything needs replacing (and not everything will be covered by a warranty). The best place to go for advice is the Top Gear 2005 survey (just google Top Gear Survey 2005) or the What Car? website which give you lots of information.

Not quite sure which model you are looking at - both Merc MPVs (Vaneo and Viano) rate only 2 stars (out of 5) on the What Car website What car

Unfortunatley the car website do no good as it's a van with 9 seats rather than a car (MPV)
