Volkswagen Caravelle 2.5 TDi 9 seater 2002

5 star review

I bought this van when it was two years old and it had 230000 miles on it. I changed the belts and gave it a good service the only trouble I have had with it is the water-pump and the power-steering which were properly due for a change anyway i modified the aux eater to come on by remote control great on frosty mornings before this I always had Transits 4 of but after driving the Caravelle I would never go back to transits. I can remove the seats and I have a space every bit as good as the transit but with the luxury only a Caravelle can provide.

Volkswagen Caravelle Syncro 1991

4 star review

My second Volkswagen, the previous 1985 1.6 diesel Transporter van is still going strong. Great for work use, mpg and no problems. I have had a trouble free 22years ... for domestic and off road my second vehicle a 2.1 Syncro Caravelle with permanent 4 wheel drive with additional diff locks although heavier to run on petrol great fun to drive and loads of space to seat seven adults, table, fold down bed etc but may convert to dual fuel lpg and flick switch back to petrol when required very cheap to run and two fuel tanks.

Volkswagen Caravelle 2.5 TDi PD (174) SE

4 star review

As a self employed taxi driver you can’t afford to have any vehicle that’s unreliable so for me it had to be a VW. The Caravelle is very comfortable and easy to drive and when you’re behind the wheel for 8 hours a day that counts for a lot. The interior is quality built and durable. All in all it’s a good workhorse and should retain good resale value. Not the cheapest 7 seater on the market but you get what you pay for.
