Thomas nagy for top gear hounestly entertaining to watch
micheal goodwin yes should do section on vans
Yeah I was thinking the same too haha!
Was literally thinking the same thing haha even the camera angles are spot on
I agree
He’s too good for top gear now. I did have the exact same thought though
"Contractors only think in 8x4. You can show a contractor the sistine chapel and he will think ' A lot of 8x4 went into that'" - Richard Hammond
Adrian F. Long what a quote although that was about the the transit
I was thinking of exactly that episode watching this. Wasn't the original Transit built with an 8x4 load bay? Glad Renault's finally getting with the program!
Talking about a transit may I say.. The only van for me.. 👍
I don't get the meaning of 8x4. What is that? I as a German person have never heard of that.

You're going to be big mate. Its been great watching you grow. Keep up the good work!
With orange plastic trim instead of the yellow, it'll be in your brand's colours.
If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find him, maybe you can hire Nagy.
Your new video style and cinematics in this video are absolutely amazing! Keep up the good work :)
The quality of these videos are getting better and better. Good job with this one 👍🏻
Great video Tom, excellent content and production
that was one of the best reviews ive seen, and was professional and entertaining to boot!
Outstanding production values, keep up the good work!
Who does your video.. bloody good job... great flow, interesting scenes interspersed. Good stuff.
To turn off the seat belt warning you just plug the middle passenger seat belt into your drivers seat belt socket, problem sorted 😁, and before the health and safety brigade jump on me that was called a joke.
Dang I was going to start selling just short extension buckles so you could leave one in all the time when hopping in and out then if you want to be safety pants you plug in to the connected receiver. If that makes sense.
you can buy the reopalcement clips, and just use one of them in it lol
If you drive long enough and ignore the warning it eventually stops buzzing at you... or so ive heard 👀
Web Luke yep makes complete sense, would suit couriers make multi drops who are in and out the van all the time, it’s just the legalities of it though. Still a good idea.
CaptainKidd2006 well you could design a t-shirt that looks like you are wearing a seatbelt and then use the replacement clip like username any1alive states or click the belt behind you then maybe it would work 😁👍
these vans are excellent I have one but mine's a Fiat Talento model 2017 and they do feel like driving a car. The seats hold around you which giving great back support. another feature on all the models is that they are very efficient I have mine in eco mode and for 50 litres worth of diesel you can get over 700 miles easy. the vans also come with a new feature called Adblue it cleans the diesel emissions giving it that Euro 6 garuntee. The hands free Media SatNav is the best feature as it automatically connects to the phone as you enter the van. The engine noise is quiet 80mph down the motorway all I can hear is the wind on the roof rack. these vans are the best for anyone looking for a mid-range budget proffessional vehicle. Compared to my old van which was as 06' renault trafic used to feel like driving a bus. These new 17 plate models have changed and surprisingly have a slightly bigger amount of space than my old one.
Great video Tom do love these vans.
Excellent video mate well done, getting very very professional making these 👏
does look very nice and you did a fantastic van tour . I did expect you to show the trap door allowing 3m tube through the passenger side that I would think was helpful for your job . I also thought you had tried to match colour with your T shirts . enjoyed watching keep them coming
the production quality is amazing, great job :)
This was a quality video really enjoyed it keep up the work 👌
Great video
My berlingo has the locking lever to keep one rear door locked and the rubber bumper incase you close the wrong door first, and the middle seat folds flat as a work station
yay .. hoorah !!! new rig !!! congrats buddy !!
I picked my Trafic Formula edition up last week the LWB version! Great van
notification squad here. Great video nice review of the van looks like good set of wheels.
Great review chap, think I can hear the top gear for tradesmen calling!
They need to increase the ride height, in order for a Deliveroo cyclists fit underneath with out scratching the underside
This video was really well edited. Well done mate
Its amazing that people just cannot keep their negative comments to themself.... Great vid Tom! Sounds like a great van.
This is one of the best presented videos I have seen on TH-cam. The presenter is better than anything you will find on TV. The editing is so professional you have to assume a huge team behind this or a genius. This guy could talk me into eating turnips. But he is not selling, it is a fair review. If he turned his interest to food tourism he'd be a millionaire in 24 months.
It is possible to switch the seat belt noise off. There is a plug under the seat connected to the seat belt buckle, if unplugged the noise will disappear completely
Does that affect the safety feature where the seatbelt pulls you in tight to the seat when you have a collision? The buckle retracts a couple of inches
Technically that's not not a way to switch it off. Switching implies a physical switch or some sort of software control using the touch screen. Still a helpful tip nonetheless.
Yeah, 'no way to turn it off' implies 'while you're driving'. There are any number of ways to get rid of it completely, but if you're that determined to break the law there isn't a lot Renault can do to help.
No to sure weather it stops the buckle from retracting in an accident but all I keen is that it stops the seat belt noise and light from coming on. Best to have it switched on I’d say but it’s one way I keen how to stop the noise completely but again, it’s breaking the law so best to have it on and belt on at all times! 👍
Informative, entertaining and top notch production quality
Looks bloody nice Tom. Good purchase mate.
Bloody good review that was you should do more car and van reviews your actually really good at it
You only get the folding seat storage on the business plus edition or better. The standard Renault traffic doesn’t come with all the good extras that you have. Nice van by the one 👍
An excellent review thanks, Tom. I’d buy one too if I was in the market - aside from the impressive mechanics, I also like the storage/cabin refinements. 😄👌👌👏👏👏👏
The camera and video work is on another level!
Great van review. I have been looking at the traffic for a new van. 👍
Just traded in my Mini JCW for one of these. Only had it 3 days and can't wait to start my minor upgrade of the cargo area. It's a great looking practical motor.
So good to see some one do a good van review thanks
Genuinely loving the new intro style, have you hired a pro or do you just know talented people?
Loving this new style of video!
Good review, Tom. The latest update looks decent. I've got a 2016/17 model LWB and love it. As you said, all those little things make it a great place to be. Only two things really bugged me about mine. 1) they didn't set up the basic version of the stereo for full integration with phone (ie voice commands) so being in Australia, I have to pull over to make calls. As a tradie that sucks. 2) The reverse gear is a really long ratio. I work in a hilly area, and backing up a steep driveway smokes the clutch. Other than that, a bloody decent van!
Great honest review Tom 👍🏻 Hope you’ll test drive some more vans 😆
Hehehe! The bonnet part reminded me of the Kangoo I drive.
Thanks for making this review, will you be doing more vans?
nice review,and nice van,would definetly get a nice HP boost with a remap from that twin turbo 1.6 engine,although the new transits are very nice also.
Please do more honest van or car reviews.. i like that
Thanks for the review Jeremy
Very nice van, I drove the old Trafic and found it suprisingly punchy even when fully laden. Had the LWB and it was fairly easy driving considering the length.
Thomas depending on which van you decide to get you fitting racks into the back and roof racks on top
just bought a new transit custom very impressed with it , also got a ticket on your old van, whats the suspension set up on the new van looks like coil overs
Brilliant review. Well done.
Can't wait to see the van with a cool vinyl roof rack and racked out inside 👍
Brilliant video, more van reviews please! even if they are every ten years 😂😂
I’ve de-chimed many vehicles. Sometimes I’ve had to remove the ecm and de-solder the chime from the board. In the end, the piece and quite was worth it!
Iv read a few of the comments bellow are quite negative.
I bought this van last week....so far i love it. I think its great. Yes in the grand scheme of things some of the features you pointed out are small but they make a difference.
Im not an electrician i was a mechanic and now work in the health service fixing people . I still enjoy watching trade videos and i must say yours are very entertaining.
Many thanks for literally hours of entertainment .
keep up the work.
Great video like usual
That was pretty good thanks, I need to get a new one, my 2007 one is getting long in the tooth
sounds like jerermy clarkson when he says oh i love that after he explains about the seatbelt buzzer
good review. I bet people would never have thought a 1.6l diesel would be enough with a 145bhp.
Thats quite a lot of power for a smaller engine. only 5 years ago you would have needed a 2.0l diesel for that amount of power
beginning is like a hip hop video - sick m8!!!!
Great video it felt like I was watching the old top gear show haha
We have the Opel versions, the original , the facelift , the eco facelift , and the 2017 model , the 2017 is a big step up , it drives easy , comfy like the movano’s
The interior reminds me of a luxury car, the upgraded dash with al the cup holders and storage places are much better than the previous versions , and the horizontal mounted door handles make the van so much cleaner , we got the version with the least hp but it isn’t slow , only thing that bugs me are the fabric seats, but that’s because I don’t always have clean work
The Movanos are just rebadged Renaults anyway just like the Nissan and Fiat versions as well so they should all drive the same.
My dad had the Vauxhall version of this van for his work with Openreach. However his was only the base model.
Also the poor old thing didn't even make 12months old as the yard it was parked in got flooded during Storm Desmond. The water was upto the head rests!!!
That and 21 other vans written off and all the contents in and on them were condemed.
Ouchy! 21 vans full of wasted jelly crimps :-(
Hello Thomas, what locks would you recommend as i do not think the recessed locks are good enough anymore, great videos by the way
Great review, any other reviews/test drives coming? VW Crafter or Mercedes Sprinter would be interesting :-)
Lars Henrik Vestergaard-Jessen and the transit custom
Hi Thomas very good production I like it and the Van. does it come with a hatch under the passenger seat to the rear of the van to load 3 meter pipes ?
Was that your audition for the next top gear presenter? You did a great review there.
Good video. I learn a couple of new things about my own work van. Opel Vivaro and this is almost the same
Vauxhall/Opel, Nissan and FIAT big vans are all just rebadged Renaults as is the Mercedes Citan van.
Dayummm. Nice editing
Looks so good!
cool video. did you plan to make a video about your layout? the why and how of your choices.
Best of luck.. safe driving
I work for Vauxhall as a van tech. Honestly apart from the teething issues they had about 2 years ago that they ironed out there pretty good vans. See some with 180k mikes on 15 regs and there still going strong. Go for it if you like it. Just be careful with the gearbox. The bearings can sometime be a bit like chocolate and melt 😂
Lots of these vans on the road. For every 10 trafic/vivaro/nv300/talento I see about 1 transit custom.
Chatting to someone last week who had a custom up on a lift and was concerned about the corrosion underneath. Anyone with a trafic etc, look in below the van and you will see no shortage of underseal and even underseal between the bonnet skins...
Pack in the day job Thomas I'm sure top gear will b in touch after seeing this!
If you like Renault - do yourself a favour and get the electric version. Even if you don't care about the emissions, or even the lower fuel costs, around London you will love the instant torque and free congestion charge!
Trafic does not come as an Ev, he would need to choose a Kangoo instead, and these are too small. Electric Mercedes or BYD vans are probably the only alternatives. Nissan e-NV200 is too small as well.
I believe that he is
There's an electric MAN TGE too I think.
I thought he was going electric too
@Kallenator1988 The Master ZE is due imminently (but that's a bit big). I can imagine a Trafic ZE would sell like hot cakes in cities.
Is this an audition for the next Top Gear presenter? ;-) Great production !!
But, when you put your foot deep into the carpet … is it The Fastest Van In The Whirled?
The production value of this video is better than most tv programmes
Hahaha, you at 3:00 reminded me of me when I got in my 2012 high trim Civic. Coming from a relatively spartan 06 Fiesta Zetec, even in just six years of improvement, it blew my mind. Lots of "what the hell is this? what the hell is that?" in the first few minutes, and still occasionally now after a year, and I still can't operate the infotainment properly! It's fantastic though, your van is in the same realm as your bed as somewhere you spend a *lot* of time and deserves some money spent. That's why I'm bitter that my company keeps me in a Fiat while my colleagues receive tooled up Transits.
Thomas you are far from a bottom of the ladder tradesman fella.......Nice looking van that has some good features.
well played i enjoyed that!!!!!
this looks amazing!
Did you take this down to your parents on Friday. Seen a Formula Edition crashed on Woodbury Common. lol
Good video, that hood mishap was funny
Nice video bro
This was better than the new top gear....amazing review wow
Why was that van review so good? Youlle be snapped up for a tv show soon
Got both the old and new traffic and love them both.... Oh and I don't have a ding on the rear doors
Nice improvements 👍
Good video the 8x4 sheet thing was annoying about the old traffic van. Does anyone know if you can fit one in straight standing up in the new van as I rack both sides of mine and just have a gangway down the middle thanks.
Flat only or at an angle.
Hill Start Assist (HSA) is a system which, when you are stopped on a hill and want to drive off, will hold the brake for you for a second so your foot can move to the gas pedal without driving backwards. The Hill Start Assist system should trigger automatically and should not require any interaction of the driver. So when you are driving off and you feel like the van/car is held back for a second it might have been the Hill Start Assist system kicking in.
In a friends Renault Clio ECO mode will disable the turbo he has in his car for better fuel economy.Not so sure about this van.
And last stop-start will cut out the engine when you stop in front of a traffic light and you put the vehicle in neutral and release the clutch. The engine will restart itself whenever you depress the clutch and want to drive off. Do mind that the stop-start system will not work whenever the engine is cold and/or the battery is low on charge (And some other scenarios). The engine might also restart whenever it detects that the battery is depleting even when you didn't depress the clutch pedal
Scissors jack as standard. The a-team stripe does match your uniform .
Have they fixed the fuel injectors from getting waterlogged?
I'm getting a feeling that you might just buy this exact one! Yellow accents and striping included. Although they should change them to your company colour orange for you.
I had a 2004 model Trafic and closed the wrong door first and it had the dent you spoke about. I now have a 2010 Trafic (phase 3) it has a stop on the door so no dent.
Nice camerawork!
i was expecting the video the start with "tonight on topgear"
Are you going to do a video of building the back of the van like your old one? Would be sick!
I’m here because I saw one of these absolutely fly by me on the m69 the other day must have been doing close to 120😂👍🏻
Have they fixed the injector problem?
Great video
Felt like I was watching an episode of Top Gear. Nice video. :)
Actually better than the TG of recent years.
How many times do your jobs take you onto the Motorway? Low gears will get you up the hills (I don't remember any hills in London when I was there in 85). BTW How many miles a day do you typically travel?
“I like that” haha great vid
