2008 Citroen Dispatch Combi reviews

Citroen Dispatch Combi Combi L2H1 2008

I’ve had the Combi version for just over a month now and use it as a private hire taxi, work which it is ideal for. Easy to drive, and as someone has already said, it handles and accelerates like a car. Obviously it is slightly wider, but no longer than a large estate car. The equipment level is OK for my needs; elec windows/mirrors, air-con, CD stereo, speed detecting wipers. I would have liked reversing sensors, but getting the system fitted for this so not a problem anymore. I like the seat config options, although for my uses the single seats are on the ’French’ side of the vehicle so awkward for loading 3rd row passengers. It is extremely economical, having collected it from Surrey and driven it back to Perthshire in Scotland on 3/4 tank, covering 528 miles - what more can you ask for? Yes it can rattle sometimes on rough roads and it can be noisy inside on occasion, however, don’t forget this is based on a van body/chassis, it’s not a Merc Vito guys!! Overall I’m very impressed. The Dispatch Combi is the same as the Peugeot Expert Teepe so much of a muchness in the two, but I can’t fault it for what it is!!
