Picked up a used TGE a few months back. Honestly, it drives pretty well - gearbox is way smoother than the last Transit I had. The handling is decent in bad weather too, doesn’t get twitchy if it’s empty. The engine’s got plenty of poke, never feels underpowered, even when loaded up for jobs. Fuel economy... it's okay, not breaking any records, but it's steady if you don't boot it everywhere. Not crazy about how little safety kit you get as standard, and the dash is a bit old-school. But the MAN aftersales is good, my local dealer sorts stuff out fast (worth it if you rack up big mileage). Not much to complain about on reliability yet, just regular service bits. All in, gets the job done, but nothing flashy. Just wish it had a bit more tech out the box.

So my company got the new MAN TGE, I use it for city drops and some trips out of town. Picked out the basic cargo van, manual gearbox, regular wheelbase. Sat behind the wheel, and first thought, not much different from the Crafter I tried before. Anyway, controls are simple, but I did have to get used to the clutch. Handles tight streets fine, rear wheel drive feels alright, haven’t had any major trouble so far. Comfort’s better than some old vans, seat doesn't kill my back after full day. Can’t say much about long-term fixes yet, but manuals usually don't get fussy. Price point was around what I expected for this size. Does what I need, nothing too fancy, but I guess that's the point.

Had a go at the MAN TGE recently. I was quite happy with its smooth operating transmission and responsive handling. Space optimization inside appeals to those with transportation needs, though the infotainment system still has room for improvement. Fuel efficiency matched claims quite closely during my mixed-condition trials.

I’ve had a short run in the new-shape TGE (the “Next Level” one) and yeah, it still drives like the Crafter it’s based on, which is a good thing. Steering feels tidy for a big van and the lane stuff + parking assist take some of the workload out of town drops. The cabin is the big change though. That 12.9in screen is hard to miss, wireless CarPlay/Android and the phone charging cradle are actually useful when you’re in and out all day. Storage is everywhere too, and the centre seat doesn’t feel like an afterthought.

Couple mixed bits: all this assist tech is nice, but it’s more sensors and cameras to keep happy long-term. Also early vans being FWD only might not suit everyone who’s used to RWD on heavier jobs. Engine is the same 2.0 diesel, so no surprises there, just feels familiar.

Overall it’s a comfy place to do hours in, and the safety kit being standard is a big plus if you share it with different drivers.

I've been running deliveries in a bunch of vans over the years, and just started using the MAN TGE recently. Went for the 2.0 turbo diesel, 140hp version, with the 8-speed auto. The automatic shifting feels smooth enough, especially in city stop-and-go, but sometimes I wish it picked up quicker on hills. Passenger space inside is okay, but honestly, that tall roof option really helps with bigger loads, makes my life easier on those days I need more space. Didn’t splash out for the adaptive cruise, but the emergency brake thing did come in handy once during bad traffic. Service intervals seem fair, I’m not dreading maintenance bills. Only small thing-I think fuel consumption could be better, but it’s manageable with all the gear I usually haul. Not regretting the switch so far, but will see how it holds up in winter.

So, I’ve driven the V220d and V300d recently. The updated front end looks a bit sharper, but doesn’t change much for me in terms of the drive. The thing is big. Like, actually huge. It’s fine for motorway hauls, but in the city it's a lot to squeeze down narrow streets. Road noise is handled pretty well, I’ll give it that, and all the gadgetry keeps folks in the back happy. Still, at this money, the value can be hard to justify-unless you need all those seats and just want something that screams ‘posh people mover’ instead of van. Everything’s pretty reliable, but you’re definitely paying extra for the badge.

One thing that really stands out for me on the V-Class is the A/C setup. There’s two circuits-front and rear-which is great until you realise the rear circuit pipes run under the car, left side. In the kind of winters and roads we get, those pipes are prime targets for corrosion. Happened to me after a few seasons, little leaks, suddenly cooling in the back is weak and my passengers notice right away. Honestly, it’s annoying having to replace tubing pretty often, or you just ride with less efficient cooling. Design could’ve considered our road chemicals a bit more. Other stuff in the cabin is solid for comfort.

I've been driving a Ford Transit for a year now, and my experience has been overall positive. It offers ample space, which is especially handy for carrying both passengers and cargo with relative ease. The performance of the engine is reliable during long trips, though I did notice some rattling noises around higher speeds, which I suspect might be due to aging suspension components. Regardless, the fuel efficiency remains consistent, making it a practical choice.

I've used the Hiace for a few months as part of my delivery work. The storage space is vast, making it super convenient for transporting large loads. However, the driving experience feels somewhat compromised on longer trips due to the basic comfort level of the seats. That being said, its reliability is top-notch; I haven't encountered any issues despite covering significant mileage weekly.

We’ve had the Vito Tourer on shuttle duty and it’s mostly been a smooth tool for the job. Cabin quality is way nicer than you expect from something that’s basically a people van. Soft-touch bits, decent build, nothing feels flimsy when passengers are constantly in and out.

Practicality is the reason you buy it. Twin sliding doors help in tight drop-off bays. Seats can fold and move around without a full wrestling match, so one minute it’s 8-9 people, next minute it’s luggage and boxes. Optional electric tailgate is one of those things you don’t care about until you’re loading in rain.

I’m a bit mixed on costs though. The purchase price is high and diesel running costs aren’t magically cheap. Still, as a driver, it’s easy to place on the road for the size.
