The 2015 Vauxhall Combo hails from an era where Vauxhall worked with Fiat to create the Combo – effectively a rebadged Fiat Doblo Cargo. The result is a well-designed van that’s flexible, cheap to run and offers an impressive payload. It’s also comfortable and offers excellent visibility, so should be equally at home hopping around multiple delivery destinations or settling in for longer motorway journeys. Service intervals of 21,000 miles means maintenance won’t be a hassle, either, even if you cover a lot of miles.

Strengths:

One of the best payloads in its class
Comfortable cabin
Cheap to run and maintain

Weaknesses:

Some models may not have stability control or an alarm
Not all that fun to drive
Automatic gearbox is a touch dull-witted

Is the 2015 Vauxhall Combol better than the 2015 Ford Transit Connect?

The Ford Transit Connect is both more smooth-riding than the Vauxhall Combo, and better to drive. However, it can’t carry as much of a payload as the Vauxhall, so if how much you can haul matters to you, the Vauxhall should be at the top of your shopping list.
