Citroen Berlingo Multispace Forte 2003

5 star review

Sorry to disagree with another reviewer, but we proved 2 weeks ago that there is enough room for family, holiday luggage, 2 cast iron radiators, a huge towel rail AND A LARGE EARTHENWARE KITCHEN SINK in our 2003 HDI Berlingo, driven mercilessly in 1 day from Aberdeen to Birmingham. Shamefully I chastised the elderly father when he got his first one instead of an A Class, but ended up buying his second one off him. He’s now on his fourth Berlingo and I only turned down buying his most recent trade in because there’s really nothing wrong with our present one. No rust , no real mechanical problems in 6 years. Gripes - be careful if lowering the back seats - inertia reels can jam if you don’t leave some slack when lowering. Sometimes clutch judder (rust from intermittent use maybe?) and rear sliding doors can need a jiggle to unlatch for closing.

Citroen Berlingo Multispace VTR 1.6 HDI 90 Diesel 2008

4 star review

I bought my first Berlingo in 2004, second in 2006 and the VTR in 2008. I have never had a breakdown in any of them (fingers crossed). The Berlingo 111 is just a great improvement on the earlier versions, and I thought they were brilliant. Load space, economy, reliability, ease of access are all great. Ride is good although road noise when empty can be tiresome on a rough road. This may be due to the fact I opted for the 16" alloy pack with Michelin Primacy tyres. My only other criticism is that when turning right out of a junction visibility is impaired slightly by the windscreen column. If you want a versatile practical vehicle this is the one, it may not be pretty in many peoples eyes but if looks don’t bother you will find it an excellent workhorse. Over the 6000 miles I have covered so far it has returned an average of 47 mpg.

It may look like Postman Pat’s van but by golly can you pack a lot of stuff into this car. It is the perfect family car ideal for holidays where you can safely pack everything but the kitchen sink in ready for the off. It may not be sporty, good looking or speedy but it has everything else going for it.

Citroen Berlingo Multispace XTR 110Hdi 2008

5 star review

Having owned the previous 2.0Hdi Desire model for 3yrs and 69000 miles when I saw the new model I just had to drive it and when I did I ordered one. I loved my old one which I used for my 75 miles daily commute to work, carried my two Labrador’s and one Springer Spaniel and also towed my caravan. The economy, reliability and running costs were all fantastic. The new model does all that as well but with more space, equipment and refinement. I love it even more already, and after two months and 4000 miles every time I get in it a big smile comes across my face. I haven’t towed with it yet but I’m sure this new smaller but more powerful engine will be great at it because solo it can be quite quick if you want but drive it carefully and you can get 50mpg. It is more expensive than the old one especially if you have the one I’ve got but it really is worth every penny because it is so much better.

Citroen Berlingo Multispace 2008

5 star review

Hey guys, it may be a bit cheeky of me putting this road test report in now, however the Berlingo Multispace is a brill car. I have a disability, and this car ticks all of my boxes for getting in and out, wheelchair access, room for my two teenagers, the wife "Och" ect. On my test drive, I thought that it would be like any other car, but I was bloody wrong. The car is smooth, comfortable and quiet. I love this car so much. Thanks to Citroen for making such a good car at an affordable cost.

Citroen Berlingo Multispace 1.6HDi Desire 2007

4 star review

I have wanted a Berlingo since the restyle in 2003, and eventually got one last year. Overall, very good. Some people don’t like the upright driving position, but I think its great, Visibility is very good, but windscreen pillars are thick. Sliding doors are a big advantage (especially when it is windy !). The modutop is a work of art, with plenty of storage, but I have noticed quite a few squeaks and rattles from the many plastic mouldings. The 16valve HDi engine is a bit slow setting off but is strong from 1500 rpm. I can’t seem to get any more than about 48-50 mpg out of it, but then I don’t do much motorway travelling. It had to go back to the dealers for a valve to be changed on the engine (lack of power), but has been ok since. Now there is a new Berlingo model out. I didn’t initially like the new Berlingo, but when I saw the XTR version in Gold paint, it slowly grew on me until I decided to order one. It has gone a bit upmarket, and has lost some of the ’utility’of the old model, but it still has a sold metal floor in the back, (not some manky bit of hardboard covering the spare wheel, that falls apart after the first week !).The new one drives a bit better, with less road and wind noise. All the advertising says the new model has "more glass area", but it doesn’t, a large proportion of it is blacked out, the clear area is less. Also the new Modutop has lost the two little cupboards that I found useful, but in it’s defence the new model has some extra storage elsewhere to compensate. I will have to see whether it is truly better than the old model after a bit of use.

4 star review

When I intially first saw the Berlingo Multispace it was not love at first sight, but with 3 children and 2 old english sheep dogs the practical side of my brain won me over and I’m very glad it did. It’s surprisingly nippy and doesn’t handle at all like a van. Visibility is excellent and fuel economy good. A very nice run around indeed!
