You probably want a custom the mk8 and the custom are a different class of van even though they have a lot of similar parts my mk8 has had it’s problems for a low mileage van but been a L4 it’s not really a something to drive every day unless it was a work van I have not driven a custom but I would expect it to be a very good day to day drive .if you go for the new 2.0 eco blue make sure it’s had its wet belt recall the older 2.2 has been around long enough and seems ok some work mates of mine who have had both as company vans don’t like the 2.0 they say the 2.2 was better but if you intend keeping the van long term the euro 6 2.0 would be better with the way cities are going on emissions.
