Advantages: Versatile and Economical Disadvantages: Limited load space
I have been very pleased with my Berlingo Multispace. 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.
It is very easy to drive, the fuel consumption is very good (600 miles easily on a full tank), the five-speed gearbox keeps the rev counter quite low even at high speeds, and it is very comfortable even on long journeys.
There is excellent visibility all round - the shape of the vehicle lends itself favourably to this. The sliding side doors make access very easy even in tight parking spaces.
My daughter has since upgraded (increase in family size) and I have had the vehicle for the past two years.
Initially the main use was simply getting from A to ...
CitroenBerlingo 1.6HDi Multispace
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.

Practicality
This is where the cars excels. Its cavernous boot space will swallow all your luggage, shopping or pets with ease.

Advantages: Roomy cargo area and passenger area, good diesal engine, never let us down to date Disadvantages: basic, everyday, not a lot else!
We have had our citroen Berling van estate 1.9d for 1 and a half years, it has proven to be a very reliable vehicle.
VALUE
These vans are not very expensive new, roughly £10,000, but i am not sure.
Second, they are great, the Berlingo is a very good van for not a lot too much brass.
The one we own was seconda hand, and is a company vehicle, but i do know that the van was little over 2 years old when bought, and they paid rougly £5500 for it.
LOOKS
Well how nice can a van look?
the berlingo is fairly modern looking for a van, although i would't acclaim it to be a beauty!
Most are them are white, so simply looking.
But if you put it next to its rivals it does not look bad at all, for example the Daihatsu hi-jet van is not at all appealing to the eye.
COMFORT
not bad at all, it has very ...
