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.

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.

For a working van, the load area is the important bit and this one is useful. It takes three Euro pallets or an 8x4 sheet, the space is square, and access looks good from the side or rear. Payload up to 1,276kg is enough for most jobs, but it sits behind the Transit Custom and some Stellantis vans. Bit annoying that the range is limited right now too: no crew cab, high roof or shuttle version. The starting price is not cheap either.

As a working van this spec makes sense. Rear camera + sensors all round, and the screen showing the sensor zones is actually useful, not just a gimmick. I do a lot of tight yard stuff and multi-drops, so that’s the sort of option that saves hassle.

The 316 motor with the 6-speed manual feels like the sweet spot. You’ve got power there when you need it, but it still drives like a normal Sprinter, nothing weird. Doors open wide at the back and the load area being factory ply lined with tie-down points is a big plus. Bulkhead too, so the cab stays quieter and you don’t get stuff sliding forward.

It being one owner and still under Merc warranty would make me less nervous buying it, but I won’t pretend it’s cheap. These “rarer” trims always get priced up.

I’ve done long shifts in medium-wheelbase vans, and the Sprinter 315 L2H2 gets the important driver stuff right. The seat has proper lower-back support, the armrest helps, and there is enough adjustment in the seat and wheel to set it up without fighting it. Cabin storage is useful too. Only gripe: the centre cubbies eat into the middle passenger’s legroom. The ride stays settled even when the back is empty, which is not always the case with a tall panel van.

We’ve got a 314 as a work van / rolling office thing, tools + paperwork + two guys in the cab. Space is the main reason I keep coming back to these. It’s actually laid out like someone thought about the driver. Seats are comfy enough and the safety systems are not just marketing, they do their job.

Engine wise, it’s not fast-fast, but it’s got torque where you need it. You don’t have to floor it to get moving. On longer runs the diesel economy is pretty fair and you’re not hunting for fuel stops all the time.

Downside is the usual: parts and service hit the wallet. And if you’re in a region with weak supply, yeah you can end up waiting. Not fun when the van is your paycheck.
