The Skoda Kodiac looks sleeker and is bigger. The Ford Explorer is a bit smaller and there was such a fuss made about it, but it’s disappointing in looks and even worse on the inside.

VW Transporter Transporter

The VW Transporter is the workhorse of the modern tradesman, blending practical cleverness with a cabin that's actually pleasant to spend a long day in. It may not steal the style spotlight, but its unshowy durability, clever load solutions and easy-to-live-with character make it a sensible pick for businesses and weekend projects alike.
