Our company has got a variety of vans.

the econovan's have got no passenger/driver space, they are so cramped. The steering column is basically in my crotch.. and I'm just an average height.

The little suzuki carri vans which are tiny vans have actually got more leg room.

The new 2006/2007 hiace vans are awesome. Heaps of room and nice to drive.

Hiace FTW and like everything else, if you neglect servicing it will bite you in the a$$.

L300 turbo is a bit of fun to drive(wouldn't own one though), definately quicker than the older Hiaces but I don't know about the newer model. Would love to try one as I have heard good reports about them.

by **Mr Revhead** » Sun Feb 11, 2007 10:51 am

try one of the new hiaces with the 3ltr turbo from the hilux :wink:

by **thaphatty** » Sun Feb 11, 2007 11:32 am

L300 chiesel turbo's are good fun in the wet! takes much more effort to get a hiace sideways :lol:

doable though

either way your stuck with a tortureous van

if you could broaden your buget alot -> mercedes sprinter

more fun that alot of cars

I think 1KZTE powered manual ace is more fun than most of the cars (especially 10 seater non-s.custom without seats)
