If You're Shopping For A Van, It SHOULD Be This Exact One! - Transporter T6.1 Review 

Cheers dude 💪

This was 31.5k ex vat, SWB. Got 8% off for some reason? It’s my first van and I love it. They are amazing!

This is my van in the video, and as I explained to Josh, you cant get the Transporter panel van with the VC, only the Caravelle. I dont have the discover pro, I really wish I went for it because ive had a 6.1 as a courtesy vehicle with it, and it massively lifts the cabin. you can get the virtual cockpit retro fitted in the UK even in the panel vans like this, but ill need to install a discover pro unit, so its all going to very very expensive, not sure its actually worth it.

Yeah I guess my main point is, if someone were to buy a new one, in 18 years time it would probably still be great just as yours is. Thanks for the comment 💪

My place I work has a Renault Transit 2012 that my boss spend 10.000 Euros on the particle filter that brakes every two years, and 15.000 Euros on the clutch that brakes almost every two years. The Turbo repair cost us 1500 Euros one time. Injectors cost another 1800 Euros one time. Never ever buy a Renault.

It's not the T7 commercial vehicle. Because vans are so popular, vs are splitting the caravelle as the new Combo which we have seen, but that is not a replacement for this T6.1, its why it is not called the "transporter". The next Transporter like this won't be here until 2025, and it will be a Ford VW product. That Kombi you are referring to is easiest described as a Sharran replacement.

Mines a 204DSG 4 motion. Having been stuck on muddy grassy fields a few times it was the only choice. And when you want to bomb across Europe quickly….this is the one! Had them all from T2 to T6. Love them.

4 motion drives very differently on the tarmac too. Better handling and no front wheel steer. I much prefer it.

As with all emissions changes they will indroduce the ban on manufacturing and it will be incremental so as it won't hit the existing consumers. You might pay a little more emmisions tax but I don't think they will outright ban the use of your van. That being said, high emmisions zones are already being effected, but who wants to go through London city in a camper van 🤷‍♀️(even though you could with a T6 euro 6 onwards) . I don't think for one minute emmisions zones have effected the price of a split screen which wouldn't be able to go through the emmisions zone 💪 Good luck on your search, you won't go wrong with a VW 👍

I currently own a 40 year old land rover series 3 2.25 petrol. Its registered as a historical vehicle so is now tax free, mot exempt and clean air zone exempt.

germany just rejected the EU's ridicolous 2035 diesel/petrol ban and many others will follow

thinking about getting a van. whats better than a vw

​@vanster there isn't any just get a transporter

Which will be the same as the Ford transit custom

This didnt happen

Is it? There's me thinking it was an aeroplane 🤣

Comedian, don’t give up your day job!

I have to remind myself it is to be honest as well! It drives like a car!

Yep, I did think this. They are all like it, and they serve a purpose at least.

Yes, as is the T6

Why?

No way , 2 litre only.

Yes it can towing capacity 2200kg

@@nickglover9007 you don’t think it will have enough power?

@@nickglover9007it easily does

I get between 42 and 50MPG depending on load and what type of roads I’m on. Lowest if had out of it is 38 around town. Incredibly good on fuel.

T5.1 180 best I’ve ever got is 38mpg averages 32.4 and drops to 27 around town. If those numbers are to believed then i’m impressed!

Do you recommend them

@@Olliebobalong are driving 150 manual or DSG?

@@robabroad31 DSG

Ireland and various other locations seem to be offering them however in the UK you can't spec a van with them. Do you have a caravelle or a variant that is different to just a standard van?

@@CorpsMedia That'll be it. Yeah, I have a Caravelle

I am jealous. It’s simply not available in the U.K. in the panel van :(

£31.5k ex VAT

I paid 42 for mine with vat

I can’t find a new one under 35k

What van would you suggest then if you are tall?

I have to disagree with this, and I'm sure the massive self build VW scene would also

@@CorpsMedia mate theyre so complex to convert in comparison to other vans its unreal. Try converting a renault trafic, much easier

@@alwynmaguire8037 I mean it's your opinion and your entitled to it. Do you have any examples of things that are more difficult when converting?

@@CorpsMedia np! They are the most difficult thing to convert due to every contour

The man tge is a crafter, which is a bigger transporter. So yeah I'd agree the tge is a good van, but for all the same reasons the transporter is.
