The 75 is adequate for my van lugging around stuff so a 90 would be great.

t4 t5 just as bad as berlingo in winds, in my experience, as for 90 or 115, the 90 is better for short journeys, around town as it doesnt have to be cleaned [ sommat to do with particulate in 105 / 11...

Post: RE: 90 or 115?

I wouldn't say the 90 is underpowered really. I have the super slow 1.9D van and that has more than enough power to transport my tools and materials around.

I see that the semi-auto is a 6-speed over the manual 5-speed, hence the lower CO2 and taxation class. Not a fan of clutchless manuals personally, but it depends on your driving style.
