3 seats a must for me too then, been looking and there dont seem to be many. Apart from that a cd player so I can bang out me Bob Dylan.....easily pleased and blacked out windows so I can touch myself.

Drove a citroen for few weeks. And cupholders were non existant. My transit has 4!!! So i can take my pick!

I know the feeling I've tried to balance my cup in the side of the door a few times and spilt it but I love the size of the back so now I could throw a party in the back [emoji41]

I can get 8x4s into my transit connect so scratching my head here at why you couldn't get them in your van.

Trust me, I've had 2 8x4 sheets of ply and 3 sheets of 8x4 plasterboard in it thou don't be letting the garda(Irish cops) know about it because I'd be f**k*d.
 
Haha well there you go not very practical, dont worry i think they are a member on here mate lol never mind , so if you say want 9 boards and dab etc and multi u could get it in ? ..... :-)
 
Depends on what.you do, my work is all domestics,

Small enough to park, big enough to carry a mixer tools and materals.

My combo does me fine, roof racks there if I'm using 8x4 sheets.

And I get 60mpgs, £10 gets me 100-110miles :D

So in essence I like good mpg and easy to use on a daily basis
 
Fine for little odd jobs every when you get decent sized u start to need a bigger van unless all the gear in delivered . But that doesnt always work lol i started with a kangoo like , was so much easier with the bigger van
