the best all-round vans in this sector, so how does the T5 compare? The answer is that they are both excellent but they're so different in character as to defy comparison. While the *aro is soft and rounded, almost organic in nature, the T5 feels like it's been milled from an ingot of Solingen steel.
During our test of the Transporter 174 we were often left wondering who would need a van of this type and, apart from the emergency services, we're still not sure. But changing "need" to 'Want" and it's a different matter.
Since this fifth generation Transporter went on sale in the UK, nearly half have been the f ivecylinder versions, and 11% have carried the 174 badge, You might expect the buyer profile to consist of owner-drivers using it as a car replacement, but out on the road we've spotted a significant number of liveried fleet vehicles.
Not everyone will need 172hp in a van of this size– we accept that there are drivers who should never be let near it. However, if you can justify operating something that is capable of covering ground as briskly as circumstances permit with a remarkably light thirst, the Transporter should be on your shopping list. But remember–let's be careful out there.
