VW Transporter

I ve had a couple of transporters now opting for the r32 with dsg and few other nice bits on it. The first 1 had issues with paint which was sorted eventually by vw but not without a fair few phone calls. The recent transporter has been faultless. Nice to drive, perfect size for the job and all the creature comforts of a car.

Very good reliable van I’ve worked out one of these for many years. I do believe they could have more going on in the cockpit. Be in German they are built to a very high level. I think they overcharge a little bit for these because of the German build but do recommend these vans if you can afford one. Thanks

I have been driving a t32 version from new on 2016 plate and I have found them to be unreliable and very uncomfortable on longer journeys the in van features on this model are way behind the transit of the same year.

This is the best van on the market for style and practically, drove new and old and they just get better and better so smooth and drove just like a car.

Great size and very useful, very reliable and just unbeatable

The most reliable company van I have had over the last 16 years, very comfortable to drive, quiet and very enjoyable to drive. If I ever went back to a van this would be my first choice.

Best van on the road, my LWB 140 T5 is 5 years old and covered 240,000 miles , only needed serviceable items and still drives like a 24,000 mile one, testament enough.My 3rd Transporter and not my last ! I know they’re expensive initially but in the long run are the most cost effective, their residual value is high and if a professional image is wanted then the Transporter is the only one to have .

In my opinion the best van on the market. Amazingly durable. Great power output and so much space.
It’s just simply too nice for a works van. The beautiful thing will end up getting trashed and maybe a dented panel or two from being on sites.
Nevertheless my #1 choice.

I’ve got a T6 Kombi 4Motion which I use for both trade (electrical and general construction) and personal use, claiming mileage on a personally owned vehicle.
The van is solid and reliable. Even with the added complexity of AWD and a DSG gearbox it is hassle free, powerful and flexible. I use it for surfing trips and it ticks all the boxes. I plan to keep for years as it’s the best out there at the moment. My next van will be EV, so will keep until a viable vehicle comes on the market (hopefully VW)

Love my transporter and having it 6 years from new I love everything about it. It’s great for work and I even take it camping and go round Scotland

Vw transporters are best vans in my opinion, tough and reliable.
I’ve always had transporters and never had any issues apart from standard wear and tear.
Expensive to buy ,but they hold they resale value !
Definitely recommend Vw Transporters :)

Had a 19 plate crew cab transporter as a courtesy vehicle whilst my van was in the garage for the week. The van is well made and seems solid enough with all panels fitting together well etc. The van is suffers from road noise more than my transit custom and the interior isn't as nice ie the rear sliding doors of the crew van dont have proper door cards and the roof lining is plastic not fabric. Plenty of cubby holes in the front of the cab for storage. I found the steering a bit too light but I am sure you would get used to it after a while. Fuel economy wise it doesn't touch the custom either the fuel gauge goes down quicker than a thomas cook. It's a bit smaller than the custom too but not by much. All in all it's a nice enough van but I will stick with the ford for practicality, economy and comfort. One plus for it will be that being a VW transporter it will hold its value well and the engine has plenty of poke if needed.

I love my VW transporter, the build quality is brilliant, I have the T32 Long wheel base crew cab. I upgraded the wheels to 20inch and added a few extras like side bars and it looks perfect. I would highly recommend to anyone. only downside is the cupholders that are useless then break. reviewed by an Electrician in Wakefield

Nice solid vans. Stylish inside and out. Mine had extras such as stop start and dab. Built in hands free is also really handy while on the move. Never had an issue

Been driving mine from new since 2011 and it’s like driving a car! Nice to drive.

Because of the VW brand I thought it would be reliable however it broke down during warranty. It has not been reliable and when they go wrong they are expensive.

Had a good solid 8 years in her but for what I paid I do not believe in my opinion you get the valve for money. Over priced.

Just changed from a vivaro to transporter, not as roomy in the cab area and cab storage is at a minimum, but drives great very well built solid van! Bit pricey but they do hold the value if you look after them!

Great van to use on a daily basis with a lot of comfort while driving. Very easy to drive long distance and is by far an asset to gain work, never knew how folk portrayed a tradesman until now. They really do take what you drive to show them if your any good or not

Had one for two years when I worked for the council. Oil hungry and had basic frills. Electric windows. That's it.
Maybe the better models are better for oil etc. But the basic model is sparse on the comforts!
Nice to drive and sits well on the road.

Wouldn’t buy another and if I was given one it would go straight to auction. Used more engine oil than diesel and dealers are useless, they wanted me to keep a diary of engine oil etc, it’s under warranty do one.

I love my transporterI have had them for over 20 years, they hold their price well, i have suffered 1 break down in 7 vans, if you service them they just keep going.

Great van that’s build quality is the best out there. The vans aren’t cheap to the point I could have two transit customs to one transporter. Lovely to drive and you know it will last.

Moved to a Transporter from a Transit Connect and have been happy with it. It's always started in the mornings even at -6! just have a basic model and it's a solid van.

Having always had VW caddy I needed a bigger van and knowing how comfortable transporters are to drive I went straight to VW and got the high line and have never looked back fantastic van a pleasure to drive. L

I love my vw I can fit absolutely everything for my plastering trade in it plus materials. I struggled with my previous van to fit in plaster boards because of how big they are. My vw can fit 15 boards in it so it’s brilliant not to mention it’s packed full of features and drives beautiful.

A great built van but expensive in comparison to some of the other manufacturers in terms of what you get. These vans are comfortable and last a long time if serviced well

Just purchased the new model transporter after having the previous one for 4 years. Fantastic van and excellent customer service.

Fantastic van, great to drive, good visibility, responsive engines, excellent build quality.
Not the cheapest van but great residual value

I've owned a volkeswagen transporter t5 for the past 10 years now & wouldn't have anything else now for that reason I've just bought a new t6 & love it

I can’t find anything wrong to talk about Volkswagen, I had 3 years a caddy and was faultless all the through the lease period and now have gone for a Transporter and it’s been almost a year and don’t regret.
If you look for reliability then you should choose a Volkswagen.

Best van I've driven so far, managed in excess of 400 miles in a day several times and didn't feel like I driven even half of that.

Everything is simple to use and quality is superb. The T6 is more practical I find as a work vehicle for storage and paperwork etc

It is certainly top end of the market price wise but they do hold there money well for when it comes to sell it on.

The best van on the market
I have 5 of these now, wouldn't even condider changing to another make, very reliable

I love my transporter does everything I need it to with lots if equipment like sat nav only down side is it's a bit pricey but they hold their value when you come to sell.

Top top van, I have mine converted to a camper and remapped as it's the 104bhp up to 160bhp and is a must for fuel consumption, 2 arms rests is very underrated and so smooth to drive, a pleasure to own

Brilliant van, need some sort of racking or storage to make use of the load area otherwise you just waste space. Very comfortable to drive fairly good on fuel economy, doesn't seem like there's any security issues unless you leave the doors open. Only downside really is when you need repairs it hits your wallet hard.

Brilliant van that does what you need it to, bit on the small side but very efficient. Customer service at our local forecourt is absolutely terrible though.

Great van, good performance and load carrying. Has been problem free even though now at 85k miles. Expensive compared to most other manufacturers but worth it as without the van I don't work and therefore don't earn.

good all round van bullit proof

Brilliant van to drive, expensive when it comes to repairs

Best van I've had and really holds its money really well, it's a shame I need a bigger one

good van when it's going very expensive when not
