With the Vivaro, you definitely get value for your money. Vivaro is reasonably priced and the rear is large enough to carry pretty much anything for work. The Vivaro is affordable and this is what makes it so popular with tradesmen.

The Peugeot Partner is very similar to the Vauxhall Vivaro, some would say almost identical. The van is medium-sized and it definitely is ideal for industrial purposes and it is very easy to drive.

It is also ideal to be used for longer journeys, which is great for those who work long distances. Like the Vivaro, the Partner is reasonably priced and it is great to be used for work purposes. It is even to be used for home purposes such as moving house or taking large items to the skip. It is one of the most sophisticated work van in the UK.

It is fair to say the latest version of the Volkswagen Caddy is equipped with more features and technology than the Vivaro and the Partner. The Caddy is rather sleek in its appearance as it is long but as narrow as a standard size car, so it is very easy to park.
It also happens to drive just like the VW Golf and it has all the features that a Golf has. It has features like Bluetooth, DAB radio, Air conditioning and parking sensors on some specifications.
If you are looking for a van that is very similar to a car and that has some elements of luxury to it, then the VW Caddy is definitely a work van to consider.

It has a rather large exterior and a spacious driver and passenger area. It is a work van that people will enjoy driving. They also last for a very long time and they often require very little maintenance or new parts. This makes it a great investment for commercial purposes.
