Volkswagen Caravelle (03 on) - Review Review by David Ross on 30 May 2006 Last Updated: 19 January 2012 The Caravelle has built up a good reputation as a well built and classy people carrier - although it's usually associated with private hire firm and hotels rather than family transport. But with acres of passenger room and almost endless on board stowage, it's the perfect car for long distance family transport with seven comfortable seats as standard. The interior is also very flexible with runners in the floor allowing the seats - and the standard fold-out table - to be positioned anywhere. There are criticisms though, not least the firm and bouncy ride, while the dashboard is starting to look distinctly old fashioned. 3.5 out of 5 Other Volkswagen reviews Summary Facts & Figures Equipment Driving & Performance Comfort Costs Safety & Reliability Buying & Selling Also Consider Company Car Info Owners' Reviews Gallery Also Consider 3 out of 5 Mercedes-Benz Viano (04 on) Capable of carrying eight in comfort, massive and versatile interior, superb diesels Sheer size makes it difficult to manoeuvre, can't hide commercial vehicle origins Read full review 4 out of 5 Chrysler Grand Voyager (08 on) Seven seats as standard, hugely practical, improved comfort and quality, electrically sliding side doors Diesel engine noisier and less efficient than rivals, some cheap interior plastics Read full review 3.5 out of 5 Peugeot Expert Tepee (07 on) Hugely spacious interior, smart looks, good value, capable of seating nine, economical engines Van-like appearance, dual front passenger seat option a bit of a squeeze, HDi 90 engine can feel like hard work Read full review Find other mpv cars Car Valuations Find used car prices with Parkers accurate car valuations.
