I'm thinking of getting rid of my Sprinter van and opting for something smaller. This means I'll be able to reduce the number of vehicles I own, so out go my Omega and beautiful S210.
I've been weighing up the up the differences between the VW Transporter and the Mercedes Vito. In my opinion the VW is the more beautiful of the two and the 174hp diesel version attracts plenty of praise.
However, I've decided on spending up to around £15,000 on a used Vito.
It will be a 120 3.0V6 Diesel, Dualiner (5/6 seater) that I buy.
I do need answers to a few things I'm unsure of though.
Where there any significant changes in 2006/7/8/9 to any aspect of the Vito?
I've seen used Vito's listed as 120, 120 Sport, 120 Brabus Sport and 120 Brabus Sport X.
Is the Brabus package just "styling" until it becomes a Brabus Sport X? Also, are the Sport X models fitted with a Brabus performance chip?
I've read that the dual front passenger seat can be a little uncomfortable, but I'd rather be guided by members here than take what I've read elsewhere as a true guide.
I'm sure that I've read that earlier models have had rust issues, but would like your opinions on this matter please.
Thanks in advance.
