30mpg??? Is that town work?

It's been and still is superb.I have had 2 EGR valves one in and one out of warranty.
The alternator went last Xmas.Other than that....not a lot to complain about.Still got original exhaust and battery and runs like a dream.
They are so roomy and comfortable to drive I couldn't consider anything else.An E Class would be nice but got too much work with 5's and 6's and lots of luggage.
I have a lot of corporate work too so the yellow isn't ideal.Looking at a PH Silver model next I think.

Cheers

Steve

Anyone got any feedback on the latest Vito's with the Euro 5 engine? I am driving a 59 plate auto Vito, Cab Direct M8 version.Now done 330,000 miles and beginning to think of replacing.Definitely having another Vito,just undecided on variant as currently Hackney but haven't worked the ranks for around 4 years now so will be going Private Hire.I only do airport transfers these days and my school run if I'm about.Average 32 mpg.Hoping the new model would get nearer 40 mpg.Anyone got one?

Cheers

Steve
