its primary custodian during its long-term test. So allowing a bunch of strangers to climb all over it ready to criticise was an unsettling experience.

There was no need to worry, though, as each of our guests independently and unprompted came up with the same verdict. Overall, the Vivaro is the pick of the crop. As a driving experience, they liked the undemanding car-like driving characteristics, the quiet and comfortable cabin layout (although more storage provision would be appreciated) and the softly but effectively delivered performance. But no-one buys a van on the strength of its abilities as a car—it needs to carry goods as well. Fortunately, the Vlvaro copes well here as well. Like the Transit, its payload is on the low side, probably reflecting the fact that as vans gets newer and safer, they inevitably get a bit heavier But also like the Transit. an extra helping of capacity is easily available if needed.
