johnharris 177 Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 I have a chance to buy an 07 plate traffic very cheap through work, 1 owner and never carried any weight. This van drives like a new car and I plan to use it for lamping and ferreting. Have any of you ever used one and are they any good. Also what are they like on fuel Quote Link to post Share on other sites

neil82 1,008 Posted May 12, 2012 Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 why do renaults appear at the bottom of every reliability or customer satisfaction survey, does that answer your question Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thats dead right Gnasher, I worked for Renault for 12 years and although the cars are sailed in from various countries-the trafics are brought by road from Luton to the dispatch centres.

Of the medium sized vans Renault Trafic versus Merc Vito....... id go with the Renault,there a lot more van for the money your just paying for the name " Merc " with he Vito in my opinion Of the large sized vans Renault Master versus Merc Sprinter ......id go wih the Sprinter all day long one of the best vans ever made......got to take them round the clock twice just to run them in Quote Link to post Share on other sites
