Thats a good article.

I don't see the point of the Caddy Maxi when theres the Touran and Sharan in the VW line up or even the Caravelle
At £18k pitched against a car thats £4k cheaper.


But I like the distinctive comments.
Another plus for the Roomster!!!

The Caddy-Maxi is a complete different beast... Would have to imagine it would make more sense to compare it to the Citroen Jumpy trio though. Plus would wonder if there isn't some overlap when it comes to the Transporter/Caravelle!

Auto express is to motoring journalisam what the Guardian is to Newspapers. It's poorly written and a lot of the info is always wrong.

Check the data table out;

Apparently;

Peak power 138 / 4,000 bhp / rpm 104 / 4,000 bhp / rpm
Peak torque 320 / 1,750 Nm / rpm 240 / 1,800 Nm / rpm

That's just slack. You can't even comapre half the others as the info is N/A

It's not even a good comparison!

The price of the magazine reflects the content quality, you can pay 40p more for Autocar but even that contains garbage at times.

Most of the time these magazines don't even test drive the cars, they rely on previous information or data from a German sister magazine, that when translated is even more off the mark.
