Caddy stacks up

MY HUSBAND has decided he would like to buy a Toyota HiAce van or similar so that when we go away at weekends, all we have to do is throw our things in the back and off we go. Can you suggest a van that would give us a little more comfort and doesn't cost too much to run.

IT DEPENDS on the size of van you need to accommodate your ``things''. If you can get away with a small van, go for a VW Caddy, which is based on the Golf and drives like one. You can buy the Caddy with a diesel engine, which will cut your running bills, and you will find it a most comfortable van to travel in. If the Caddy is too small for your needs go for a larger European van, such as a VW Transporter, Mercedes-Benz Vito or Renault Traffic. All are good to drive, comfortable and, with diesel engines, economical to run.
