The base of the vehicle is where it wins. A good engine, good chassis.. the rest of the treats are a bonus! Renault, Vauxhall and Nissan all share this frame and it’s a good one! I used to drive the Vauxhall van variant of this and it was brilliant! Great review 👍
greetings to ireland from turkiye... excellent review mate. i absolutely love your reviews. to be honest carbuyer's and your channels are the first ones i look at for the reviews of the most recent cars... i had driven a passenger version of a traffic (diesel+auto transmission) for 1500 km during my croatia+bosnia trip; no hassle indeed. i definitely recommend to anyone looking for a real "big" family option...
The Renault Traffic is so damn comfy to drive, and great when you are moving. You can fit two freezer boxes, a sofa, the kitchen table and a double bed, without having to fold down the seats!
Great review.. have 4 kids hopefuly 5 in june all going well! Also back problems and you answered all my questions and brought up things i never thought of.. i brought one for a test drive today this video helped me make my mind up...keep up the good work 👍
Another great video, its obvious you put a lot of thought into these reviews. Would love to see your review of the new Panda TwinAir if you have the time in your schedule
we used to have '99 Honda Euro Civic 1.6 ies...it was too small to carry some stuff and people... and than we bought '11 Renault Grand Scenic 7 seater, but even with this car we are having some problem when we are 7 and have to get in it.. Renault Traffic is maybe the next car =)
Seen several of them on the road. To me they are the best look small towncar out there. Better looking than the Mazda 2, Yaris, I20, Skoda Fabia (which is more practical though), Suzuki Swift, Corsa, Fiesta, ...
More than 10 years have passed, Transit and Sprinter turned into a bucket of rust 😱 Traffic, Vivaro, Primastar double-sided galvanized body that doesn't rust 🚐👍
Lots of questions. having 9 seats gives lots of options, the Qashqai is 7 seat sort of. The VW Toureg is 5 seat. Sure you'll look like a taxi but when room is the main concern then there isn't many options. If you have 5 kids and a wife then 7 most of the time
Great info( gas mileage, comfort, space, ergonomics) Could have used more info in reliability, handling, road noise, fit and finish. I appreciate your no frills video and great subtle British humor. There are a few nasty bad apples everywhere you go but we good apples drive on! Sincerely, Mike
I didn't now that you did a review about the Renault Trafic too, that's really funny. I need to check your videos to see which cars we both have reviewed and compare what we thought about them. I am however sure, that the latest car I reviewed (GMC Sierra pickup truck) is not available in Ireland (same like many small city cars aren't available here in Dubai).
Have you ordered it? There's only one version here although there are some options like alloys and some other toys like sat nav. SO I'm not sure what's in the sport version. Best of luck and send us some pictures!
This is true, the Traffic scores low on the face of it but if you look at the comments on the score its mostly to do with poor instructions and the lack of ESC and head airbags. The cars go down in stars as the tests move on, cars in 2008 that got 5 stars might only have 2 or less now, the comments will tell more of a story than just the stars. Getting 5 stars is much harder this year but you'll find that car companies will catch up
Smokerspack, I just found out that the 2012 Traffic gets 2 stars in the euro n cap. That's worrying, being that this is a car that would mainly be made for large families and that it's a Renault! What do you think of this? Other cars like the new Toyota Aygo losing one start to a 3 star safety rating and the Renault Fluence Z.E. getting 4 stars. It must be regulations since now to get 5 stars a car must have ESC as standard.
Great no weird music at the start. Straight in. Would a real drive not prefer a Nissan Qashqui+2 as at least it would not be mistaken for a taxi van? That or a Audi Toureg. Have fun parking this in the city unless its a taxi rank. How often would all 7 be in the car at the same time?
Which is the best car to survive zombie apocalypse? Don't say any SUV, I mean it needs to be strong, fast and efficient if possible. Also i think it should have a big fuel tank...
Anything that is mechanically simple, without all the fancy electronics that are bound to break down sooner than later. Also you can atleast fix it with some basic knowledge about engines and cars.

Great review! I've just put a deposit on one of these today. Watching your video has reassures me that I've made the right choice! Thank you :)

Oh my god, I look.....younger. Talk about a throwback!
Getting the name of the vehicle wrong must have gone down well with Renault.

Seems like the perfect vehicle for a holiday in france or somewhere like that
That's Praise indeed coming from the Boy Wonder, I'm glad you like them! Thanks for watching

we have 4 kids and drive a Honda FR-V! The best car there is for a "huge" family!
Don't forget the Ypsilon while you're out and enjoying the sunny weather in the Audi's :)
I was wondering whether u will be making a review for the new Lancia Ypsilon (which I guess will be Chrysler in Ireland) seems like a nice car.
Love your honesty and practical examples.
Have you ordered it? There's only one version here although there are some options like alloys and some other toys like sat nav. SO I'm not sure what's in the sport version.

I want that Renault Trafic when I am bigger for my minibus taxi
I would say the new Chevrolet City Express would come closest to the Renault Trafic in North America.
Good van. :)

buying one on friday how much did you say the tax was ?
Funny you should say that, next review will be the Audi A5 then the Audi Allroad and A6 Hybrid international launch very soon.
Great review! I want one, but I'm concerned with parking, I can only get the 5.4 m long here. Too big for a urban family vehicle? Help me!
Anything can be parked especially if you get parking sensors. Go for it
Great no weird music at the start. Straight in. Would a real drive not prefer a Nissan Qashqui+2 as at least it would not be mistaken for a taxi van? That or a Audi Toureg. Have fun parking this in the city unless its a taxi rank. How often would all 7 be in the car at the same time?
Ahh cupcake can you not park a small van ?.....Bless !
I need one of these in Canada though?! what's my closest thing to this here?! I'd really love to have a 9 passenger(5 kids!!) minivan!
A firetruck
How does that speed limiter work exactly?
I think they just limit the fuel and air to the engine
Well that sucks
MegaChristopher333 were you expecting a more hi tech method?
@@TheMightyKinkle no white van man just wants to know how to turn off the limiter and speed all day
how much did you say the tax was?
Tree hundred.
More Audi Please
