You`ll all have yer reasons for buying, of course. But having bought - what d`ya find?
1 Quick getaway cars, they really are. Not many FW cars to touch `em away frrom the lights.
2 Related - will easily pull a medium sized caravan,
3 Great seating position.
4 Loads of room for the dog!
5 Loads of room for the wife . . .
6 A back tailgate you can shelter from the rain under
7 Can put my bike in the back without any fiddling, detaching of parts etc
Over to you. .

Good on fuel, reliable, comfy, roomy, good ground clearance for semi-off roading, easy to service.

Nippy, cheap to run and handle quite well. Love the overhead storage and fold flat passenger seat too!

Baby Buggy sits in back without needing folded
Very, very comfy
Visibility ahead due to raised height
Big square boot area ( suitcase - friendly shape )
Style
Easy access and exit from cabin ( I think, anyway )
Quiet.

I love the elevated driving hight and big door mirrors especially the Mk3's.
The chunky tyres on the vans are well suited to our local potholes.
Theres one patch near us where 20 yards further on you can harvest a good daily crop of wheel trims.

They are obviously deemed as being very good when you see more and more Berlingo converts.
Love the headroom
