    Yep, I realy like the look of those, dunno whether they can take a 4m cut with the passenger seat out?
    I'm looking to replace my Trafic this year, 08 plate, 82000 on the clock.
    There's a new re-designed Trafic coming out in the summer, can't wait to see what that looks like.

    Just looked, to be honest I prefer the Vivaro.
    The one thing they have in common is I won't be able to afford either of them unfortunately.
    It's a bit of a downer, looking for vans and seeing all the ones I really like are too expensive.:(

    A Sprinter and the like would never fit down some of the winding little back roads and driveways I have to get through.

    I want a sprinter but working in London, something that big is often difficult to park. I've got a lwb vw now, lovely van and only 2 years old but just not enough space.

    Wait while the new trannys out and the price on the older lwb will drop as everyone will rush to get the new one.

    I did my hgv last year. While I was training down some small lanes, I was told ' if a dust cart can fit, so can you'.
    I live on an unnamed road, single track lane, and can fit my lwb Sprinter down there, as well as a artic size motorhome.
    A Sprinter/Crafter is a very easy to drive van, go any where a car will vehicle.
    However, parking in London, or a parking meter bay, is a bit of a t*at.

    heard the crafters are a bit on the bum side, and I generally don't like the sprinters either lol
