Aswagen's new 75bhp sixder engine has livened up performance of the LT van. ts new form, acceleration top speed are improved. iden fully to 3,180kg, the 3D maintained 70mph on the orway without difficulty, acpanied by a high noise level I3dB(A). Engine roar, rearwhine, body boom, and on test vehicle a loud high-freIcy rattle, all contributed.
ie net payload of 1,385kg is d, and when distributed ly does not overload either . However, it does not quite th the payload of the Talbot -ess we tested at the beginof the year.
:cess to the cab is less than I — the step is placed ahead e wheel arch — but VW gets away with it by using a large door which opens to a wide angle.
Access to the rear compartment is good. There is a sliding side-door and twin doors at the rear.
Using the engine's performance to give fast journey times was to the detriment of fuel consumption, which was 11.611t/100km (24.4mpg).
