Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

The Ford Transit Connect and VW Caddy have almost become the default choice vehicles in the high-tube van segment in the past few years, but after testing the new IRMO Cargo, we think that this might not be the case for' much Longer.

And it's not just these popular makes that it's competing with; just read Last week's road test of the Renault Kano° Maxi for proof.

If you take into account the vehicle's productivity (specifically Load volumel, purchase price and high levels of build quality, the Fiat makes a very strong case for itself.

The 1.3-litre Muttijet engine, while small, is smooth and most of alt frugal and clean (even without stop/start!.

However, it's the subjective looks that could prove to be the sticking point for some drivers.

The bulbous front-end and those oversized headlights are controversial, not least in the CM office, but you can't deny the fact that it will get you noticed.

Regardless, Fiat has churned out a real peach of a van and, after spending a solid week with it, we can highly recommend it
