BMW went in for a service and got lent a Pug 207 courtesy car. Lots of bits shared inside with the Mk3 Berlingo, so thought this'll be OK.
It wasn't. Horrible thing. Gutless petrol motor, lifeless controls and unrefined. The Berlingo may basically be a van but drives miles better. The real surprise was the amount of road noise compared to the Citroen. Had to turn the radio up at 70mph.
I'm not a car snob. Been impressed by all sorts of things, from a Skoda Fabia to a Hyundai i30 renta-car, but this was just rubbish.
These weren't particularly cheap. Can't imagine why anyone bothered.
