damn... its a pity DHL didnt pick these as their fleet vans for DESC
we had to settle for shitty VW FFS well atleast i can thrash them...
well only till 4000rpm then the turbo is too shitty after that...
The Trafic/Vivaro/Primastar has its limit at 3600-3800, 4k if you miss a shift. Best acceleration is between 2200-3100 outside this and you are pretty much wasting your time. There is a chip for them to raise it from 100hp --> 127hp (240nm --> 300nm torque)
Here is one doing 195km/h, would have taken a while to get there (4 wheel drift on a friends dirt road at 160 put me off going quick again (and I need it to last me another 200k kms, hopefully continuing its pretty trouble-free run)
Here is a short drifting vid (Macca's tray style)
All in all, not too bad for a model that returns 7-7.5lt/100km consistently.
Would I buy another? Definitely (ABSOLUTELY if they added some of the euro options)
