Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

as the drivers' choice, evenly good, and a good compromise between a passenger car and a van. The driving seat's adjusting range is wide, and the steering wheel depth and reach can be altered. However, despite this, the perfect driving position proved elusive. The slightly cup-shaped driving seat provides good support, but is a little too wide. and the seat cushion feels slightly too short. WI, however, provides armrests for both sides of the seat.

The gear stick steals space in the same way as the Transit, but similar to the Vito. the auto box makes it easier to drive with a full cabin. Overall, the T5 has a comfortable cabin and is easy for new drivers to become accustomed to.

Wjth its flexible engine, auto-transmission and well-sorted chassis, the WV scored top marks in virtually all of the dynamic sections of the test, but it was just pipped at the post by the Vito around town.

All the engines have EGA systems, so they fulfil the Euro-4 emission requirernents. VW's engine is a little different to the others' four-cylinder 16-valve blocks: as it has only two valves per cylinder, but five cylinders. All the engines are equipped with a turbocharger and interccoler, but only W/ has a particulate filter.

This engine has never been known for record-breaking fuel economy, but on this occasion, even with its auto box, it beats the Fiat and Mercedes with 32.1mpg. and it was the only one to exceed its, admittedly grim, official EU combined figure.
