Citroen Berlingo

The new Berlingo has success at its heels. It has an all new trendy exterior, with bulging wheel arches and a cute face.

The interior is well appointed and very car like. I like the stubby gear stick mounted on the console. Cargo area is all carpeted on the sides except the main loading bay.

Comfort wise is excellent but tall drivers might have a legroom problem typical of compact vans. There is only so much you can lean back as the driver's seat is blocked by the safety cargo ladder.

It rides well, more like a car than a van, and suits people who either transport goods often as well as people who use it as a weekend leisure vehicle.
