Advantages: Versatile and Economical Disadvantages: Limited load space
I have been very pleased with my BerlingoMultispace. My daughter originally bought the vehicle in 2003 - she had three children at the time and needed a versatile MPV for driving them to and from school.
We researched several different makes and models before deciding on the Berlingo.

Performance
The 1.6HDi engine has been used in Citroens and Peugeots for over 10 years now, testament to it's popularity and reliability. It is smooth and responsive, if a little noisey and capable of providing adequate acceleration and overtaking ability. The o-62 mph time is a sluggish 15 seconds and the top speed is 93 mph.

Advantages: great storage Disadvantages: cant climb hills very well

There is a good sized gloves compartment and two under the ground in the back, they have lids that blend in with the floor.

The boot has lots of space and could easily fit a big dog or your weekly shopping, and still have extra room. There is an amazing amount of leg room in ...
