If you buy one expect to change the clutch at 13k and you may aswell have the dealer replace the front stabalizer at the same time, this is a beautiful van to drive but rattles like blazes.
I hope the new clutch that I now have lasts a bit longer than the first one.

To: Golfschwein : the system is pneumatic not hydropneumatic

Yes, it is amazing that Peugeot keep selling cars here and have penetrated the market for over 60 years with no back up of any sort.
Or maybe there is back up here. Perhaps that is what the 45 Peugeot dealers do.
Maybe that is why Telstra and the Queensland government buy Peugeot vans now.
Perhaps that is why Peugeot outsell Fiat and Citroen – because it is the same product but with better back up from a well established brand.
But my comment isnt as funny as yours not being a snippy line drop. But I think it is more useful.
Have you considered that the Toyota is RWD and therfore the floor has to be higher to accomodate the rear differential and the driveshaft running back?
Therfore the load is higher and less stable than the low floor in the FWD Peugeot. Low centre of gravity, good for stability. FWD, better for fuel economy and less NVH.

Drop the ride height, get some bling wheels, mattress in the back and this could be the multipurpose Sandman ute replacement… if it’s rockin’, don’t bother knockin’… mmm…hydropneumatic suspension…

I really should update my 02 Econovan, its done over 300,000k but I just couldn’t justify spending over $40k to replace something that cost half that when new and still runs well. Great report though Matt

Why do they call it an Expert? I guess all the tradies and workmans are taken.
Still I cant see the blokes down the pub talken about their new “Expert” expect maybe with their Subway sandwich artist

$41,590, is that for 2 of them?

PASS

No back up of any sort.

Get a Toyota HiAce and be done with it [Or a Transit]

Cheers

They should race these in their own class.

Be more interesting than V8 supercars……

Why would you choose this over the Vito, Transporter, or I-Load though.
