Your favourite van
Once the market of vans is getting stronger and harder for the makes to compete, once their philosophy is approaching to a car.....the performances of them are getting better and better(in fact any van could be almost as fast as many current ordinary cars, the driving position is approaching to a cars, the equipment is getting similar to a car¡.....in fact, many people buy some vans instead of a car once its performances are good enough to drive quite frisky on the road, and they offer a lot of space alternatively...id like to get the choise of yourselves about your favourite van
There you go the list just in case:
VW Transporter
Ford Transit
Fiat Ducato
Renault Traffic
Mercedes Vito
Pug Boxer
Opel Novano
I get for the vito, due to its built quality, its performances(brilliant), its efficiency and fun on twisty roads
And the transit is my second option due to its prestige mostly once i dont fancy too much the french van, and i dont fancy too much with the VW either

I've got a couple of favorites actually, the Renault Espace F1, the Ford Supervans (mks 1,2 and 3), and the Ford Transit WRC.

Not a fan of minivans but if I was gonna get a van, it would be a conversion van, for long trips and shit. they are so comfortable got recliners and a sofa in the back plus TVs, DVD, and ride really smooth. minivans suck ass IMO

Mitsubishi Expo LRV! I had one in manual. That thing was quick and pretty nimble. I surprised quite a few of my highschool friends with it on the road.
