Excellent build quality. I've had my c-tourer for over 7 years which is a record for us. Usual faults with handles and 3rd party rubbish. Water ingress in garage, waste water drain tap issues,
Overall ok. We would like to change but there's so much trash out there both new and secondhand we decided to keep it.

Drop down bed can drop down on your head whilst driving and is very heavy to raise up.

Our C-Line is 2015 and now coming up to 60k miles so quite well used.
Internal cabinets, cupboards and carpentry work are excellent. Island queen bed is super comfy and overall the van is well built.
Loads of lockers and storage with a huge garage for bikes etc.
It's lovely to drive but we have upgraded to full air suspension. The front in particular used to crash and bang on road joints or potholes as it was only just off the bump stops.
Like most quality vans it’s let down by some of the equipment ie Dometic fridge.

You can always PM me if you want to.

Richard.

Think we’ve had three replacements due to stones being thrown up.
Last one was fitted in December 2019 so I’m hoping we are now safe……..fingers crossed.

Edited to add……Make sure your glass insurance is unlimited. A class screens are expensive.

I think it’s a design fault Richard
Ours used to get a chip or two on every trip away
Our NiBi was a similar size van and never had a single chip

Will be a comfortmatic, rather than a Auto box I guess?

I am just saying WESTY66 its the best ever van ever made, just like your Sonic was 2 years ago when I sold that!

Our i5.0 has been a good van but after 3 years we are upgrading back to a Niesmann like we use to have so ours will be for sale soon.

We have a 2015. I would say much the same as Richard (Clarky ) and we also have the full air suspension.

Cabinet work is solid.
Fiat base is just that.

Have you had the windscreen problems?

 

[Dorset Diver]

Not going to answer that as I don't want to push my luck .
