So I presume that must go for Peugot and Citroen too as they are
the same engine and Box?

As far as I'm aware Fiat are not part of the PSW group. I do know that the Fiat Doblo has nothing in common with the Berlingo and Partner, which are the PSW groups offering in that category.

common misconception tbh they occasionally share chassis etc,ie the pug boxer van,but diffrent engine,dont get me wrong,very very versatile car,just passing on experience

my mate has one (albeit in spain), they are VERY practical but practically always break down

I've been running around in a borrowed one from a friend for the last few weeks and think it's a great car. No problems (W reg) I'm aware of apart from needing a new battery. Does seem a little thirsty for a 1.6 but that could be my lead feet.

Having had the misfortune to drive a Zafira once, the Multipla feels like a BMW in comparison.

just did 1500 miles in a zafira on bank holiday weekend....

they got the suspension back to front... it's bumpy on the flat and soft on corners!?!?

it get's a bit scary fast cornering... i reckon it's ust too tall for the astra chassis... it kinda leans a bit, rolls on the tyres and feels like the back's gonna overtake!



nice seating though!
