Tried as a replacement car. The driving pleasure and comfort are unmatched by Alfa.

VW Caddy

It’s user-friendly, comfortable enough for daily driving, and sensible for buyers who want utility with a dash of style and no drama.

A really lovely car with space for a wheelchair and much more, which we've had for almost 14 years and driven over 200,000 km with. Now the gearbox has failed and we'd like to buy a new one.
