• Summary

    4 out of 5 4.0

    What does this car say about you?

    I'm a grandfather and need space for the grandchildren and their clobber, as well as our dog. Need to take my 96 year-old mother out most days and access in to the car is brilliant.

    What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

    Think it's amazingly practical and surprised how well it performs.

    Would you buy this car again and why?

    Yes. It fulfils all my current needs and is very economical. Averaging about 50 mpg.

    What are you likely to buy next?

    Not thought yet but, unless needs change greatly, it could be another Berlingo. I'd go for the more powerful model with higher spec than my current base model.

    3 out of 5 3.0

    What's it like to drive?

    Light controls and responsive. Great visibility. Holds the road well. Not a boy racer but goes fast enough for our restricted roads.

    What's it like to park?

    Long wheelbase means biggish turning circle but excellent mirrors and lots of glass make visibity good. No hidden areas.
