The Vauxhall Van Range - Combining Form and Function


Vans never exciting car to drive, you usually sapping the will to live before you even get to third gear. They are heavy, slow and usually look like a big cardboard box with wheels attached. No personality and glamor, they clog our roads and highways, such as cholesterol in the arteries of fat people. The drivers of these cars are usually the most abominable things inconsiderate, loutish and pig ignorant people ever get behind the wheel and make it their business to irritate and annoy other road users at every step. So as you can probably imagine, I'm not the biggest fan of light commercial vehicles, or those who drive them.

Maybe I started this post on the wrong foot, though it is hard to get excited or enthusiastic about the van. They are inventions of convenience, less form and more functions, and therefore very difficult to get passionate about. Think about the last time you got some exciting bicycle pump ... My point exactly. There is, however, at least one manufacturer whose engineers are desperately trying to rebuild the public attitude towards the light commercial vehicles and inject some much needed enthusiasm into the way the public's imagination. the name of the manufacturer Vauxhall.

Vauxhall Van Range starts with small Corsavan, basically a stretched version of the popular small cars without rear seats and little space for storage. Astravan is more of the same motif, but it is Movano and Vivaro where things start to get a little more interesting. Movano is a dad in the series, proving to be quite a large customer. Vauxhall are designed to be the most practical light commercial vehicle market and the sheer capacity beyond normal door panel, they May just have it succeed. Your average technician easily able to fit every possible tool they could take back the Movano. But how does it perform?

is a surprisingly good response. Diesel engines are positive supple for a mass that is driven and Vauxhall [http://www.westend-vauxhall.co.uk/used-vans.shtml] offer a choice of three wheelbase to ensure treatment is right for the type of transport drivers who will be transporting. looks quite muted, but that is exactly what we expect from a car of this sort. Movano is the little brother, Vivaro, there are few different ideas though. The vast difference of almost any van I have ever seen, Astra seems to be committing a sin and attempts to look stylish. long, sloping headlights and rounded nose looks like a combination of the future. She manages to retain some of its practical appeal as broad as you would expect, and it is also efficient on fuel.

Quite how well off people up and down the country will respond to the Vivaro is a bold fashion statement, it remains to be seen in the long run, but having won industry awards in 2004 and 2005, it seems that Vauxhall is a chic combination can more than hold his own in the light commercial vehicle market.
