Look on the "system pics" topic I've put a pic of my 650l system in my lwb connect, it's a 230 model and is on the payload limit.

I think they are great vans, good power, comfortable drives and handles well, i would highly recommend one, i get 32ish mpg which isnt too bad, tax is £120 a year too.

you would need a lwb hi-top to fit the 650 in really, you might get it in a swb but there wont be much room left

20mpg? Ay?

My Vivaro did more than that! £10 used to get me over 80 miles and thats with 650l

Are they really that bad on fuel? Around the 30 mark aint great for a small van to be fair.

My old pug partner used to get in the 40's like the Vivaro

My fishmonger mate has a connect , he says there crap on fuel. If your looking to get a smaller van I would recommend a vauxhall combo, my 1.7 runs on fumes.  ;)

if you want a connect go for the tdci not the tddi as the tddi only has 75 bhp so they are under powered and they have an older style injection on them meaning they are less economicle, so go for the tdci they have 90 bhp
