Got to say, in the UK, VW Camper vans are crazy money (new OR old), plus the gullible public have their blinkers on and won’t consider anything else (for that camping/caravan scene). I think these are fantastic plus looks better than some rusty VW any day!!! All those comforts and features you don’t even see on a VW! Yours looks brilliant! 😎👍🏻
Great video. I have had mine for 5 years now and would not change for anything else. Its an 8 seater, camper, and a van all in one. Loads of people ask what it is. love ripping the young lads off the lights using the launch control. Mine is on PLG so half price fuel too.
The customisation on these cars is the best. It is the point of difference of the Japanese market . So far ahead in its time . These vans are streets ahead of everything. The width is perfect for parking and the attention to detail is second to none
These vehicles were designed to be most efficient at 50 mph for Japanese speed limits. Everything is set up to run from 0-50 as quick as a 2.2 tonne van can from the lights. The only annoyance is they are actually de tuned for the Elgrand and don't tune well as other versions of these engines are able to be.
I've got a top spec model, has the works including sunroof and moon roof. Bose sounds and steering wheel controls for everything. Beautiful to drive ... one pet hate is the tan leather, wish it was black 😆. Great ride!
I absolutely love these and spent a long time deciding between importing one of these or an Alphard/Vellfire. They are all excellent vehicles and it was a close run thing but I eventually settled for the Vellfire. Hope I end up as happy with my choice as you seem to be with yours. 😁🤞
Mate I'm traveling to Bradford tomorrow, to view some of these. Not purchase, just browse before I wait for the right one. I've wanted to look in one for ages rather than just pictures, if your local that way and don't mind having a nosey let me know !!!
I’m derby, feel free to pop down mate. And this one is actually for sale. Message me through eBay… www.ebay.co.uk/itm/255796369751?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=qSz9gwlTR9W&sssrc=2051273&ssuid=qSz9gwlTR9W&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
Bought one few months ago,lovely mpv,its a camper conversion,fantastic compared moneywise to any other i,ve seen,ridiculous money for all these overpriced campers. Top vehicle,drives brill,everything the lad says is bang on. But one thing only,you need to be able to afford the fuel?
My daughter wanted a bigger car for dogs and likes quirky Japanese cars!She has a Honda Stepwagon Wagon now(plug,check out County cars,Strood,Kent).Loads of car for the money, no wonder you see more of these imports. I'm curious too know if insurance cost is prohibitive? Although the lowered suspension looks cool ,I'm a bit older,so would keep normal height for max comfort.Great video and thanks for producing and sharing. I'm addicting to watching these vehicle videos at the moment, check out Jay Emm on You tube,who reviewed a Toyota 3.5 on his channel recently!
Ah yeah I’ve seen some of his stuff. He drives a legacy too. Insurance was pretty cheap for my wife about 500 a year. It’s only fuel and tyres that are costly.
nissan elgand 2008 i brought some 370z wheels 19 there staggered having trouble rear a huge don't no if there legal hangs out a bit ...front wheels catching on the shocks do i need to adjust with Coilovers?
I'm looking at getting a 3.5L V6 and pulling out all the seats at the back (only leaving the Driver & passenger at the front) to save on fuel & weight Will be putting in a small foam mattress and making into a camper
We have a lot of speed bumps on road and carparks where I live. Hoping you have some similar and can tell us What is the clearance like. Potentially, if I buy one, I may even take it camping down some dirt tracks that may have larger than usual speed “humps” not just bumps, and potholes
@@InitialB cheers for that i was wondering if a average motor parts place would sell them - I’m 45minutes from euro car parts so there out of the question .
It’s a spring and shock setup, no leaf springs. As for the awd system, I guess it depends how you view it. It’s rear wheel drive in 2wd mode. But mine has the options to lock the centre diff into 4wd. But the front and rear diffs do not lock.
I legit don't get why you people throw alloys, lower suspension, body kits etc on these. It's like puttin a halfords exhaust on a corsa because "...it sounds ace mate.." or alloys on a wheelie bin...anyway, love those vans nd currently looking for one for the summer to camp in with my 10 year old.
