We’ve had the Vito Tourer on shuttle duty and it’s mostly been a smooth tool for the job. Cabin quality is way nicer than you expect from something that’s basically a people van. Soft-touch bits, decent build, nothing feels flimsy when passengers are constantly in and out.

Practicality is the reason you buy it. Twin sliding doors help in tight drop-off bays. Seats can fold and move around without a full wrestling match, so one minute it’s 8-9 people, next minute it’s luggage and boxes. Optional electric tailgate is one of those things you don’t care about until you’re loading in rain.

I’m a bit mixed on costs though. The purchase price is high and diesel running costs aren’t magically cheap. Still, as a driver, it’s easy to place on the road for the size.

I've put some miles on the Vito Tourer 116 CDI, figured I’d drop some thoughts here. On the motorway, it’s smooth and pulls strong even packed with people, so no worries about keeping up or merging fast. Fuel economy’s actually not bad for a chunk of metal this size, especially with that BlueEfficiency option. Seats don’t swivel or fold flat like I’d want for some trips, and getting them out by hand isn’t easy, especially for one person. Interior’s more van than car, kinda sturdy but don’t expect fancy-fine for hauling work crews but nobody’s gonna think it’s posh. Still, it drives better than I expected from something based on a van. No real drama with maintenance yet, though I guess it could get pricey down the line being a Mercedes.

After Fiat Ducato, this year I bought a ten-year-old Sprinter. I imported it from Germany. This is the best minibus I have ever had. The heater works well, the engine runs smoothly, and there is ample space inside the salon. I am satisfied and highly recommend the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter to everyone.

I've been working with the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter cargo-passenger van for three years. The mileage is approaching 200,000. Many people think that Mercedes is not a perfect machine. There are some flaws here. For example, astronomical repair prices. The engine is finicky - you can't fill it up with just any fuel. The suspension is stiff. I believe it would be better to get some cheap Fiat.

A maneuverable car, even in traffic. Everything inside is designed for comfort. The heater works excellently. The seats have not worn out in 12 years. There has been only one repair, and that was bodywork after an accident.

Bought the V220 instead of a sedan. The previous owner offered the car in good condition. The van had been in a minor accident before, after which the right wing had to be repainted. The interior is in impeccable condition, looking respectable due to the leather upholstery of the seats. In the first week of driving, I encountered a problem - I discovered a coolant leak and immediately took the van to a certified service center. They replaced the cap and the expansion tank, but the malfunction was not resolved, despite spending a considerable amount of money.

I took the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 211 for a test drive. The interior is comfortable and the design is modern. However, the gear shift handle seemed inconvenient. The suspension, in my opinion, is a bit stiff. If you have to drive on problematic roads with this vehicle, it will shake a lot. I learned from colleagues about the cost of Mercedes-Benz spare parts and consumables, and decided to give preference to a microbus from another manufacturer.

It is very comfortable to drive such a Vito. You feel fabulous on the road among cars. I change consumables every 10k km and everything is fine. I recommend buying such a van if you are engaged in trade. You can transport a lot of goods and compactly fold it.

I drove the 2.0 diesel RWD Tourer (9-speed auto) for a week of long runs and some city work. On the move it’s honestly pretty sorted. Steering feels light at low speed but it places the van well, and the suspension is a good mix: doesn’t crash over rough bits, doesn’t lean too much either. The RWD setup helps it feel clean coming out of junctions when it’s got weight in it.

The 9G-Tronic box is the type you leave alone. It just shifts and you get on with driving. Power is more than enough in the higher outputs, I’d probably stick to the mid one for normal work.

Downsides: visibility isn’t great because of the narrow windows, and the cabin still shows its age in layout even though the screen upgrade helps a lot. Also worth saying, choice is limited now (only RWD, no short model), so if you need a certain size you might end up looking elsewhere.

Drove a Vito Tourer (long wheelbase) for a mix of airport runs and family jobs. First thing you notice is it doesn’t feel like an old-school van from the seat. Steering is pretty precise, suspension feels sorted, and the 9-speed auto keeps it calm on the motorway.

Inside is the big win. Lots of light with those big windows, and the seats have proper support. The 9-seat setup is handy and the 2nd/3rd row folding and swivelling makes it easy to switch from people to gear fast. With all seats up you still get room for suitcases, which matters when everyone turns up with "small" bags.

Downside: it’s pricey and you feel it when you look at running costs. Also it’s not the most fuel-sipping thing in this class, so if you’re doing big miles every week, you’ll notice.
