Good Evening All

Newbie to the forum here.

Looking to buy a tranny. Undecided between the new custom, or a mk7. Will be on lease purchase.

Currently have a Vivaro lwb, plumbing and heatings my game, so not got to carry lots of heavy stuff.

Any advice, pros cons etc, gratefully received

The Custom will be perfect for you, as it looks like an updated Vivaro :wink:

:idea: Why don't you take both for a test drive :?:

I would be waiting a year before buying a Custom so that all the teething troubles are ironed out first. There have been several recalls on them already, plus you'll get a cracking deal on a MK7 right now.
