Good evening all from a newbie on here.
I currently run a Citroen Relay van, that since it hit 80k (now on 110k) has been a nightmare with costly repairs. I am for a number of reasons considering downsizing to a Doblo Multispace . I am a carpenter, but that will shortly be changing but still want to be able to do work if I desire.
However... Traditionally Fiats don't have the best reputation in the world. I want something with really good boot space and good pulling power. The Doblo JTD seems to fit the bill. I am considering about a '02/03 plate version so I guese mileage will be around the 100/110k mark. I appreciate buying any vehicle is a gamble, but Genuinely, are they fairly reliable? I just cannot afford to get a wrong vehicle here, unless I also want a new girlfriend
Also I live in rural West Wales and the nearest dealer is about 1 1/2 hours away and, secondhand I will have to travel hundreds of miles to get to see one in the flesh. I don't want to waste time an fuel if they really are a pain in the rear.
Are they comfortable? Occaisionally I may need to do a long trip in it, otherwise it will have fairly heavy use on country roads.
I really do appreciate any help comments or suggestions you may have.
Kind regards
woody
