I completely disagree with you Dojj.
The vivaro to me is far more comfortable on long journeys, the brakes are far more responsive and it out handles any transit I've ever driven.
I had an 08 plate vivaro for near on 2 years and loved it.
Then my company changed it for a 10 plate transit and it was awful, I've not hated the drive of any vehicle as much as I hated that transit for the 15k I clocked up.
The seat lacked any real support to the lower back and I was in agony after any lengthy drive.
After all my complaining they eventually gave in and just before the 10 plates ran out they got me a vivaro again.
I'm now much happier at work again
