The bus to the good-sized family News

Size counts. At least when we are talking about transport for the family.

And the nap of us, there aren't many family men or mom, who every now and then dreamed about a bus with high ceilings and space for children, babygrej and BMX bikes.

don't Worry. The solution is found in the big varebilsbusser, which among other things include the VW Multivan, Mercedes V-Class and the Opel Vivaro. It is models, which have fallen to 40,000-50,000 dollars for the latest afgiftsomlægning, but still moving in the higher price ranges.

It also applies to Opel Vivaro Tourer, Extra Magazine here testing with 145 hp diesel engine. The price for this model begins at the 584.385 crowns, but testbilens enhancement means that the final price is called 712.000 crowns.

Like rock stars on tour
We seize hold of the large handles, comes up on the doorstep and jumps on board and up in height.

the View over traffic is good, we can see far, and also over the many crossover models on the road.

the Access to the rear seats is done easily with the sliding door in the right side. It is complemented by a similar to the left side, however, there are enhancements to 15,000 crowns.

It is something that can be recommended and makes the car far more flexible and roadworthy if to be loaded to the children of at the kerb.

Sidedørene slides up and reveals a cabin where the five rear seats are lined up in formation facing each other as in a DSB trains.

the Car's middle seats can be rotated and is turned backwards, so you have snuderne directed against each other. As there is also individual seats in front, has testbilen two seats fewer than in the basisopstillingen, where there are three rows with three seats each.

The removable drejesæder in number two is optional for an additional twenty thousand crowns, but they provide an extra dimension and can be supplemented with a midterbord.
