Great to see him on TV again .loved watching him fix cars. Should be giving his own TV show.
Edd we love you. Please do more car reviews, dont care what car it is, just happy to view any car reviews by you.
Well done Edd. Great to hear you 'on screen' again. Nice van too.
Vauxhall van!! Not in the market for one! But it's Ed presenting !! Am in and subscribed!
Great review Edd 👍🏻 Legend!
Good to see Edd again, great technician, very good presenter!
It's about time Edd has his own TV show!
Agree, would be better than those goons on top gear
I'm about to get r/woooshed. "What about fifth gear"
Dreams come true! 😏
Great to hear and see Edd back on Video
what most want to know
how many sheets of plasterboard and plywood can it carry
and do they even fit
rest we can deal with
A lot of us don’t carry either of them, sparkies , plumbers, handymen, fitters etc
Just bought a 2016 ford galaxy. Best faintly car I’ve ever had. It’s nearly as big as this yolk too!! 😂. Oh and I’ve no need for a van but delighted to see Ed back!!
Happy New Year Edd.....
Nice to see Mr China back on the box 👍👍
Go Edd fantastic review.... Definitely like your style... Your the man....
Good to see Edd again
I see Edd, I immediately click.
Hi, nice review Edd! I actually test drived Toyota Proace van few months ago (witch is same psa van), and I noticed that steering wheel is not centered with driver seat. Same problem was in Peugeot Expert. Maybe it was LHD problem only and RHD model is ok. Anyways, as a car guy, it bothered me that much, that I went for Renault Trafic this time, allthough I liked everything else.
Happy New Year Edd. Cheers from a Canadian fan.
Just what I needed !!! I love the opel vivaro , and look fwrd to change my dacia logan for more space after the 3 yrs warranty goes by
More reviews with Ed please 👍
Nice 2 see ya ed..good reviews.
Nice video again Edd.
I could get vivaro E one but with opel batch in Finland. Great stuff Edd!
I am happy to have you in my Internet life thank you
Subscribed, because it's you Mr China , luv what you do and only liked the work shop parts of that show (wd).....would love to see another show with Mr china
I'm not a fan of modern vauxhall as not a fan of french automotive, but as edd is presenting i will watch and thumbs up,
Thanks edd
Awesome overview! :)
Now please compare this to the electric version and go a bit more technical. For example the rear axle with the spring angles seems a bit ... dubious
The gear selector was a notice problem for me aswell. I have the 120 biturbo vivaro and love it. I prefer the looks of the old and I prefer the style of the interior of the old. There is alot les s space in the back too on the new one. The whole new remodel of the exterior isn't great either. The way the light lenses stick out at the back and the position of the fuel cap. It looks like it's melted in the heat and somene. has tried to pick it back up and mold it into shape. Not a fan of the twin sliders either. Less space for racking and storage. Not a van for me, why did you go to Peugeot and Citroen, Vauxhall?
When are we going to see you back on the box EDD ?
My mate got one, he really liked it, until it randomly wouldn't start and despite major work by the dealer, they couldn't find the problem.
He traded it in for a SH Merc.
When you do a review on commercial vehicle I think as I business owner you need to describe about professional practicability of the van such as what I can carry in it? Do I able to fit 8`x 4` sheet in there and how many for example.
And reliability reports!
Liked the original and my van of choice... fuel injectors were a bit of an issue though, but at least an easy if expensive fix... cheers Ed, 'me old china'.
Can you get it with a single sliding door for camper conversion
👍another top one Edd
Can you review the electric version when it comes out?
Thumbs up for Edd!
Edd China - Legendary
Affordable vehicles, concise english and a few jokes to notice.
A majority of van drivers are tradies along with couriers. As a tradie it's more about the space and what can be realistically fitted in the back not just the drive. The benchmark used to be a full sheet of plywood. I had to step up to the long wheelbase in the current one I have for just that now they are making them smaller?
Can you fit an 8x4 on its side in this model?
Yep
@@Cameron2874 cheers mate, I've seen one or two and tempted. Would you buy it again?
best design based on psa platform
As a 6 ft tradesman I'll hang on to my beloved VW T4 for as long as the EU allows me.
You might want to as I've got a Vw T6 and it's an absolute pile of sh##. Fragile as hell just waiting for the next thing to go wrong. My old mk6 Transit was a far better van miss it badly.
@@interceptor-ss8kb Sorry to here that buddy, can't believe they can be that bad. Thanks for the heads up.
@i\/ mine is currently on 37k but on its second gearbox, 2 fuel pumps, alternator, had a set of injectors and just had the entertainment system replaced and recurring immboliser fault which is doing my head in. Honestly wish someone would steal it and burn it out.
Who would choose a Vauxhall over a VW. Only a crazy man.
T4 with the right engine is a last quite good (rust!!) thing from VAG. The newer ones are a pile of overpriced junk it's better to buy something from PSA (Peugeot/Citroen/Opel/Vauxhall) or Ford
i waited Edds miniservice! ))
let's hope they continue to make this in the uk
Very questionable with Brexit...
They definitely will, I make them. It's also badged as the Citroen Dispatch and Peugeot Expert as they're all owned by PSA. IBC Vehicles (Vauxhall Luton) and the sister factory in France had to add additional shifts to cope with demand, and it's overtime city. Also PSA invested a lot of money in the Luton factory and have more to come, so we'll be in it for a while.
Nissan Nv 200 slightly smaller drives like a dream comes with superior price tag and bullet proof mechanics.
What about service intervals?
Could the producer give you a nicer quality mic? Very nice reviews you make though.
Got a 69 plate on a couple of months hire at the moment.. It's the base model and I must say as a van this size it's excellent. Better drive (when loaded) than the Ford customs I've had... They've gone too far to car driving (bouncy suspension when loaded).
I'm well impressed, apart from the front 3rd passenger space.. However that's very rarely used.
Highly recommended from me.. And miles above the other vans based on this platform.
Much prefer the interior on the Transit compared to the rock hard steering wheel on this Vivaro though
I have no interest in any of these vans but, anything to watch the legend, the man of mythological talents, Mr Ed China
Vauxhall in the UK but Opel for the rest of Europe. on another note, didn't the previous Vivaro also have that bulkhead hatch? (the badge engineered Renault trafic one)
Yes it does, you can fit 3m lengths in through the bulkhead hatch in the older ones
PLEASE do a review of the LDV V80 van. I know it's an old dog but in Australia, where EU vans are very expensive (A$60,000 - $100,000), the V80 is only $30,000 for SWB low roof or A$40,000 for LWB, High roof. Maybe value for A$ , the V80 may be worth it ? BTW, prosperous 2020.
ordered a new one back in january. but the life version . havnt seen any on the roads at all. vauxhall havnt got the best customer service and i have no idea where my vehicle is and since have not seen one yet theres prob thousands of customers waiting its almost may come on vauxhall!
can i fit 8`x 4` sheet in there?
nice one edd
Blimey where on earth do they make Ford Transits then? I assumed they were made here. Love Vans, I currently own a VW T5 Kombi which is superb. Nice review Edd, good to see you on the screen
They used to be, European Fords are mostly made in Germany now, but some parts are still made in the UK. A lot are designed in the UK too
Ford shut the Transit factory (after 50 successful years) in Southampton and those Transits are now made in Turkey... and the rest of course in Germany.This happened a year before the Brexit election was even thought of.
More Edd please
Smaller interior and trunk than the older model but sold for the same price. I’ll stick with the old model as long as I can!
Go on Edd 🤘
it looks really really looks "small", against the other 2 models, the back loaded space in the back looks "small"
It IS small. No comparison to the "older" Vivaro. Which by the way would have met current emission standards if they had stayed in the program. Trafic, NV300 and Talento all are in Euro6 D-Temp and they actually are smoking with the new 2 Liter 170Ps Diesel and the DCT.
Glad Edd mentioned it’s the Citroen dispatch. Which a mate has and said it’s useless for cup holders. It has some but poor design. Can’t fit much in. It looks massively smaller than the previous vivaro which looked better. The middle seat folding down and being a work table for laptop etc was a good feature on the previous one and now only the traffic. Seems Vauxhall is now not in the top 3 for medium vans. Ford all the way!!
I assume the Renault traffic is still based on the 2nd gen vivaro then?
Yes because renault worked with opel/vauxhall before PSA jumped in the game
@@altergreenhorn Thought so mate.Thanks!
I'm Lovin the Union Jack 🇬🇧 t shirt edd
Why are they showing NEDC for fuel economy!
Do they do a high top model
What’s reliability like?
How can a bog-standard van cost more than my house did? How has it come to this?
Made in Luton, company owned by the French. Should have put a Tricolour on the windscreen. Well not for much longer - just made anywhere outside of the UK.
Isn't the van also a Toyota Proace - same ilk?
I think Ed should present on Top Gear
Nice clean looking van, just a shame about that middle seat, not very well thought out from Vauxhall considering the small size of the automatic gear selector, but hey no car or van is perfect.
Its a shame its not bigger, prefer the look of the older model, will stick with my ford custom, had it been bigger I would have been very interested.
Yes ED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Whats with the black bumpers option? Is it encouraging the van drivers to touch park against other peoples' cars as they know it will not damage the van's bumper?
No, but it's a way to make a painted bumper an extra feature and get more money. The same with door handles and mirror covers.
@@robertrool8108 Fair point but are you sure the actual drivers of the vans will follow the same logic?
@@Mike_5 there's another reason that panel vans have black bumpers and better equipped mpv versions have painted ones - the manufacturer has to keep cheaper end vans price as low as possible to have an advantage against competition. Also the painted bumpers of this model are quite prone to scratches, even a slight brush from a careless unloading will damage the paint (experience from the Peugeot Exper Traveller that didn't have any protective sticker either). The drivers are not the ones buying those vans anyway, but if diving into the matter is at hand - the insurance companies also won't mind if the vehicles have cheaper repair costs, that means a car or a van will have cheaper insurance too. It matters when a company owns 30-50 similar vans.
Hi, I just hired one. I am 6’2” and with the bulkhead it was un drivable. Head hit the roof and could not see the speed”O”. No leg room and sooooo uncomfortable trying to put your foot on the accelerator.
Had to take it back as so bad….. got a Vito Murc. 100% better van for comfort.
The Murc seems a lot more comfortable than my VW Transporter, as it hurt my ankle bending it up on accelerator too.
🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪 I guess built for Umperlumpers 🤣
The Vivaro is nostalgic to me and the new one is a lil too Citroen. Not that i mind.
So there are 5 different brand badges on this model . Vauxhall - Opel - Peugeot - Citroen & Toyota .
Looks to me like the Opel Vivaro, why would they add another one? I never even heard of this brand before. Btw the Citroen is called Jumpy, idk why you always call it Dispatch.
In the uk it’s called Vauxhall and dispatch.
Lovely Jubbly Mr Edd China.
Worlds most uncomfortable shifter knob. Is it possible to change?
Looks better than the old one, however I’ve decided that my next van won’t be diesel as I think they are going to get hammered by the government. At least VW and Ford offer petrol or petrol / hybrid options.
My 16 plate Vivaro was the biggest POS I've ever driven in over 30 years, my 69 plate Vivaro is the nicest van ever. The beat thing you can do with a van is remove the bulkhead, there's loads more legroom without them.
Or rather than beating your meat, remove the bulkhead
This version of the Expert / Vivaro has gone down a class size from Large Van Class to Medium Van Class = SMALLER & BACKWARD STEP
They need to up the carrying capacity. 3.5 tonne would be ......ok so they’ve upped it. Sweeeet!
I only subscribed for Edd.
Are the Expert, Dispatch and Proace still made in France?
Expert and Dispatch are also made in Luton. I work there, and we actually produce a lot more for export than domestic.
Eezergoode 85 What about Proace? and is the production of these cars now end in France?
@@VolvoMarkku I'm not sure where the Proace is made. My assumption is that they share the platform but build it themselves as Toyota aren't part of PSA.
Eezergoode 85 But the production of Expert and Dispatch/Jumpy is now end in France?
Could you do the MAN TGE review please
you mean an overpriced VW
Why have the psa group reduced the spec on vehicles and offered no compensation ??!!!!!!!!
After spending months looking for a new van I took a look at these shared Vans, vauxhall, Peugeot, Citroen and Toyota and was shocked and the poor build quality in all of them, in one particular the hand break being so sandwiched between the driver seat and the passenger seat that you couldn't even get your fingers around it.
Ended up with a VW Caddy maxi instead. 👍
Make a video.about campervans,now that would be of interest.
subscribed
As Edd said this van have terribly small mirrors and front view is reduced as well!
This is an OPEL. Opel made in GB.
German opel
Good to see edd again but I will never buy another crappy Citroen one
Is there a AWD model
There is, but not directly from Vauxhall/Pug. 4x4 on these vans is added by an aftermarket manufacturer, Dangel.
EDD. 👍
This is a good competitior to the transporter but I'd buy the T6.1 even though it isn't build in england but its got a better interior and list of options
Probably vw built lot better. Just because it’s made here doesn’t mean the standards is gone be excellent like a rolls Royce. It’s a crummy french van at the end of the day. VW hold their value for a reason. I have a transit custom and would have that over any van. If ford stopped vans I might go VW. Never a french van
@@GregsMowing transit custom is a good van......interior is a lot better now, never like the ford interiors over the past 9 years or so......but if you want performance then vw all the way
Harley Robertson the transit mk7 from 2006-2014 was best interior in my opinion. The mk8 was ok. Big cubby holes. The new mk9 has same interior as the new custom with an additional storage in front of the middle seat. VW are good vans. Never driven one but heard lots of people say it is quite old to drive compared to the custom. The cup holders are strangely placed in the transporter - much like that dispatch thing.
@@GregsMowing the mk7 transit has a good interior design, just what you need and no finicky extras, mk8 was just too many buttons and the transporter chassis is extremely old now based on the T5 from 2003 I believe but the T7 is said to be completely reworked with a new chassis, whenever that comes out
The transporter is so expensive though.
Over 10k euro more then an equally equipped custom.
And even then they have quite a lot of problems.
Bovril and Hobnobs? Lunatic!
Gee Put a Lion and Stone up front and you could market it down under as a Holden.
Bring back the CF Bedford
Good for home removals?
Has PSA been sold to FIAT yet?
John turner : Non Monsieur , c' est l' inverse , Peugeot P.S.A. a pris des participations dans le GROUPE FIAT- CHRYSLER .
Spoilers. Now it's Stellantis.
