Service costs not bad and its easy to handle and looks good when I wash it ! Fuel is around 31/33Mpg depending on conditions, Id expect new one to be better ?? old tranny got 35 mpg which was amazing - makes no difference with a load or not or so it seems I would not got for the high roof, extra high or nothing, makes a huge difference, almost same volume as some so called jumbo sized vans due to being front wheel drive ( no driveshaft) wouldnt mind a 6th gear for the long jobs ive got the basic model.... The new ones seem to have more issues with all the fancy add ons but will wait for a new one, been looking for a van for almost year now!

I normally drive a Transit but <a href="http://www.mylocalvanhire.co.uk/vanblog/archives/1137" rel="nofollow">recently had a rented Trafic</a> for a day. I put my usual travel mug in the cup holder at the end of the dashboard and set off – a mile down the road, I pulled away from some lights and the mug fell out, spilling much of its contents down the door… I then realised that my mug didn’t sit deep enough in the cup holder, which is angled and much deeper than the one in my mk6 Transit. The Trafic was a pleasant drive, but I haven’t yet driven a Master. I know what you mean about cup holders! I normally drive a Transit but recently had a rented Trafic for a day.

Currently Renault vans are leading on the fuel economy I would say, with a few minor niggles in the cab, main one being the noise with the window down slightly. Totally agree that drivers will make their own minds up with time, but we're not that hard to please surely. A good coffee holder and 12v sockets for phones and Sat nav and you're there.
