Great Video Comparison. I would choose the Ford Transit as my choice
even VW can see that the Transit is the best van in its class. the deal between VW and Mercedes to sell the sprinter as the VW Crafter is at an end and i hear there is a new version due in the next year or so. rumour has it that the next crafter will be a rebadged Transit.
H Hu
Please bring these three ladies back I've thoroughly enjoyed all of the reviews they have done ... VBH is a legend.
"grab handles for an easy in and out"
You forgot to talk about security. Ford is one of the easiest to break in to and why suppliers do not work on this I am not sure.
How about measuring what size pallet you can be fitted inside and options, and is there a spare wheel of those punctures when you are not expecting them!
Gotta say I didn’t see a van review coming 👍 Hope Erin is happy with her new gaff 😁
Keep up the great reviews.
Beautiful weather, beautiful vans and of course beautiful ladies, what else do we need to have a great review video? Keep them coming!!!😊
4:40
I had a right go at my kids for spilling coke every where
😂😂
And I thought she was one of those ;)
Great review👍👊
With winter coming please REV review the new Merc E400d All Terrain and its Volvo and Audi competitors as an alternative to SUV's
The Ford Transit all the way....great vid...
The thing is, the vauxhall uses the Renault / Dacia infotainment which is not good. I personally would have the Transit, the infotainment and size is perfect. I love the 3 pin socket you get in the transit as well.
The speed limit thing in the Ford is the most useful feature for a commercial vehicle, when someone's driving for a living you better avoid traffic penalties
But i like the vw looks
Is Vauxhall related to Renault ?
They have the same infotainment in some models.
Thank U forReplying to Me People at Autotrader! Keep up the good work!👍🏿Hi Vicki! Ilysm on 5 G! Hru?🙌🏿👋🏿
I like the VW Transporter, but it costs to much. Would take the Transit
Very good.
When ever I see a VW commercial interior I always think back to when Mr bean blew up a tin of paint and covered everything. GREY.
Do those come with 3 ladies in the back?
If the Transporter came as standard with a Rachael Hogg it'd be no competition!
I would definitely go for the Vauxhall because back in 2016 I went to see them getting built in Luton so it has a special place in my heart.
Hahahaha that Vauxhall is a rebadged Renault trafic From the ground up 😂😂😂😂
You can find that infotainment unit in a Dacia too 🤣🤣🤣🤣
yup. and the WORST of the group to drive, being a Renault. they always have been!
agreed, its a French design, its like going to a Chinese restaurant and saying its British food, its Chinese design. not roast beef 🧐😁
mehdi er its other way round its a vauxhall renault use the vivaro n rebadge it
Nice. Price ought to be a factor too surely. Presume that the Vivaro wings that one...
Vivaro is much smarter and much easier to carry almost anything. Very comfortable ride.
I love the Ford!
Transit back Bone of Britain.........Then and Now................:)
I like Ford's...I also very much like Vicki B Henderson.....
Shes rotten yukk🤮
Vikki with her legs out 🔥🔥
The Transit Custom Looks Very Nice
That’s good for three vans cause if you moving out it’s good
Van reviews 👍
in my experience touch screen in a van is useless, as soon as you're doing about 30mph too much vibration / movement to use it accurately
Look also to other things like reliability, in case an accident occurs... never French cars or opel anymore...
So NO ultimate winner then?
Easiest van to break into on the street the Ford Transit... so extra Deadlocks and security on all doors will be needed
Jesus avoid the rebadged Renault trafic. I ve got one and it’s pretty much had everything but a new engine. It’s only done 40k! Terribly unreliable.
Transit is the best, end off
Gregs Mowing lol electronic injectors are awful without any doubt the vw is the best van on the rd transits lose money hand over fist a t5 vw with 160000 miles on clock still costs 10k a transit would be about 4k trust me a vw will put out 500000 miles n still be a top drive ford aint shit but the vw is the gov and you can drive one for 5yrs do 120000 miles n still get 18000 for it
Transit isn’t the best... far from it. Transporter walks all over it. The sport version of the Transit is ok I guess but looks like it’s been through a Halfords work shop. There’s a reason vw hold the money over the transits
1at place is Rachael xx
Loved that you criticized the vivaro
And the three point plug is a nice addition
although the plug isn't capable of much, just charge drill batteries bit pointless in my experience
@@GregsMowing - It's quite practical. But surely not worth all the fuss, like most "electronics".
I've got an inverter on mine, 240V with normal EU "schucko" socket. 600W output comes quite handy from time to time.
Got it quite cheap on Ebay eons ago. ;-) Has been jumping between different cars and vans for a while. Worth the trouble if you need power on the go.
Worth saying that for 150/200W output you can get them for the likes of 20€ and up... ;-)
Cheers
Driven all of these models (1-2 year older then these ones) in harsh work environments and only VW stands the test of time. Built to last. Vauxhall/Renault/Opel vans suck bigtime just like Fords. Yes, when they're new all's well but after some 10.000 KM. only VW rides like new. Maybe in a family setting they will all suffice.
Room goes to Opel. Interiordesign to VW. Ford combines both.
Van tastic thanks
The best transit MK7..
Transit Custom by a mile. Loads of extras, better build quality and cheaper spares, plus bigger than the VW. The VW badge used to be considered 'cool' .....until everyone else stuck a surf sticker on them. It's since then just become a c*ntwagon. Shame really. They're now overpriced with NO EXTRAS except for the badge. They simply rested on their laurels whilst the competition ran ahead. Don't believe me? Go and test drive both and then decide! My VW T5 blew the turbo, I hired a T6 which felt exactly the same as my T5 which was disappointing then hired a Transit Custom Limited. The same year(2015) at the time was over £4000 cheaper but came with things such as heated seats, heated front windscreen, electric folding door mirrors, AC and a host of other things at a cheaper price. The decision was simple.
My business partner was about to trade his VWT5 v2 in and said he'd NEVER buy a Transit. A few weeks later we went on a kitesurfing trip of Hayle in Cornwall. He asked if he could drive the Transit..........He now drives one!!
Never seen a group of women do car reviews. If you launch this series again we'll have Vicky, Erin and Rebecca Jackson. Ta.
I've driven the vivaro (renault trafic) with the 125 engine in it. it drives very nicely but at the bottom end there's absolutely no power what so ever. you can tell it's only a 1.6
That's correct but what you can tell it's not "that's only a 1.6". What is very obvious is that the turbo kick in slow and steady in really low rpm's.
I believe the ECU reprograms will be coming around very very quickly. ;-)
A cup holder is for a cup, not a bottle!
So who watched the new series of fifth gear on quest recently??
lol
Transit!!!!!!
Freude am fahren ... immer ford transit...!!!
I had a vivaro it was scrap after only 100k miles wouldn't bother and the VW is too small in the front hopefully the Fords engine won't boil up after 50k miles like our last one get yourself a Merc not the new gen but 64 plate V6 it will go forever.
Petrol power is the best
Auto trader! This is My kind of Review! Vans! Finally! I love My Minibus and Vans AF! And a big thank U to the Gentle Women producing Ur contents too! White Van Gentle Women! Please Produce a Minibus Review contents for Me! Thank You! x ;)
Transit
From the thumbnail, I thought they may have been testing the vans as passion wagons 😉
I like the interior of the Volkswagen then the Ford and last the Vauxhall.
All vans are wonderful..... petrol? Wtf......
agreed. who in their right mind buys a petrol van?
@@petelattimer6808 yankees
When you say Van
You say Transit
If I drove on to a building site in any van that isn't a transit I'd be laughed at because geezers drive transits
Two litre of white frightening
Lovely jubly
ford tranzit the best
How British can a product be when it’s designed by Renault and any money it makes goes to GM?
Numpty...just because the Parent company is not UK owned, it’s manufactured in UK and by a UK registered company, supporting U.K. jobs and secondary suppliers ....I suppose you voted for Brexit and have a unionjack flag
@@alanwayte1688 🤣nice one pal! Nice one!🇪🇺🇬🇧🇧🇪Did You See What I did there again! Budum🥁Tiss! ;)
AND WHO OWNS VAUXHALL NOW PEUGEOT
@@alanwayte1688 i dont actually know if the vivaro is manufactured in the UK or just assembled here (it only has to be screwed together from a kit to be classed as british built) the main manufacturing will be done by Renault as it is (literally) a case of change the badges and its a vauxhall. i dont even think Vauxhall fits their own supply of engines (unlike VW with the Sprinter/crafter badge swap)
@@MOSSFEEN so chances are the next gen vivaro will be based on the peugeot boxer/citroen dispatch/fiat ducato then.
who in there right mind would buy a PETROL van
Ruairi Mccarthy diesels will be phased out of towns eventually.
Someone who wanted to do a lpg conversion and save grands on fuel. Can't convert a diesel
@@Oncewasdonka actually diesels CAN be converted BUT they wont run on PURELY gas. it reduces diesel useage by about 20%, from what ive read. unless you cover OBSCENE mileages, it isnt worth doing.
Americans
@@Oncewasdonka- In fact not only diesel engines CAN take LPG as an addition. The technology is well known, well established and it's probably one of the most favorable changes in all ICE world. More power, lower consumption and reduction of emissions! A pack of benefits that surprise many. ;-)
Vauxhall Vivaro. "Made in Britain". By Renault/Opel in France/Germany.....😂😂😂🤔 yeah right....
I’ve recently driven all these back to back, several work colleagues own/owned all 3. The Vivaro/ Trafic is the best. The Ford and VW are overpriced and over hyped
The vivaro is very unreliable the turbo is rubbish and the gear box my van is 5 year old and had to replace gearbox last year and the turbo just went in june and it's only done 28500 miles stay away from them
3 fine regular women!
i prefer the full sized transit with rear drive BUT anyone who is buying a van who DOESNT buy a Transit (of some variety) is, to be frank, a complete MORON when it comes to vans. ive tried them all, even the SPRINTER doesnt ride/handle QUITE as well as the Transit
Vicky looks well doesn't she.Transits aren't as tough as they used to be VW is for posers.Buy a ten year old sprinter and drive it like a maniac till it falls apart around you.Repeat every eighteen months.Fastest vehicle through traffic is a rusty,dented sprinter everyone gets out of your way(like a 5 series driver wishes they would for them).
Absolutely useless ‘review’. How can you compare a petrol van against diesels??? Isn’t the petrol for congestion charge areas? No one in their right mind would buy a petrol van. 20 odd years ago VBH reviews were watched by people that ignored the content and vehicles......looks like nothing has changed there then. Will go and find a proper review as I am in the market for a new van.
dont bother with the reviews. Transit wins hands down. you will be hard pressed to find a van (or variant in the case of badge engineered ones like the vivaro/trafic or sprinter/crafter) i HAVENT driven/lived with (for at least a few days) and ive NEVER found ANYTHING id take over a Transit. they ride better, handle better and have more comfortable seats. the VWs have much harder seats so if (like i do) you spend long spells at the wheel, you get a numb bum!
Pete Lattimer I totally agree with you on the Transit front. Am concerned re the problems on the ‘new’ engine and the rust front,( I have had my current lwb high roof transit for over 14 years but now want something smaller...maybe a year old or so). Have had a look at the usual suspects but keep coming back to the transit, mainly because of cheap running costs and what you get for your money. Horses for courses, but it looks like it’s going to be another Transit. Thanks for your input!, appreciated.
Not being funny can't take advice on vans or cars or anything mechanical from a women. Just can't take them seriously 😂😂😂
