Looking at one myself but not many around.
Bike will fit in the SWB model but LWB would be better.

It’s good for 2 bikes and with 102 HP it’s enough
Was looking for a 140HP T5 but very hard to find a perfect Deal with Price/Engine Size and Kilometers

Awesome vans!

Had mine a year as my daily and love it - Swb, 102hp. This year I’m going to have a pop top fitted, insulate/ carpet the back and also looking at a remap to 140bhp.

I’ve only ever had to fit two bikes in and they fit with room for everything else required for two people to go and ride for the day.



Two 27.5 mtb’s and two roadies in;

Not sure how you guys call it , but if rear door opens to the top - it is much better !
It creates shadow in sunny days and you can sit outdoor under some rain.
Lwb much better , you can install additional seat on a second row for 3rd passanger or to change yr cloth.
But in general it sucks cause you smell everything from behind and hear all that sounds.
But excellent choice if you have 1 car

I had a 1961 Volkswagon "Transporter" in 1972 and could load three bikes in the back with all the rear seats removed. Driving the dirt hillclimb road to the Carnegie National track in 1973 was terrifying, but coming back down was worse! Bikes back then were much smaller than now. Make sure you have the brakes to safely roadtrip with that much weight. I had to pump the brakes to get them to work. How did we survive all that?

Bi turbo after end of 2014 are fine, before that the have some problems, but most of them are modifed already.
