Hello,
I currently live in Italy, and I'm searching for a Doblo in the UK to purchase next month when I'm back visiting. Yes, sounds ironic, but they're more expensive here, I have trust issues with the Italians, and the insurance I can get in the UK is much better.
Budget of £4000 and looking for a diesel. I would LOVE a high roof Doblo as we're prone to camping trips and driving around Italy.
Here's my main question:
Would you recommend a 1.3, or a 1.9 diesel? It's just the two of us and a dog, and we won't often fill the car up with stuff. But fuel expenses is a consideration of course. Speed and performance is not so much of a consideration. Am I right in saying the 1.9 gets about 40 mpg combined whilst the 1.3 gets closer to 50 mpg combined?
I'm currently looking at a 2007 1.9 Multijet Dynamic (Freedom model) with just 36k miles, listed as £4000. Any thoughts? Should I hold out for a 1.3, which I believe is the newer engine? Less to go wrong?
Many thanks for any advice!
