Comparing old and new
Mrs B's Berlingo was in the supplying dealer's workshop yesterday for fitting of a towbar.
Courtesy car was a 62 reg Pug 208 1.4 petrol. Quite nice actually, well equipped with a touch screen panel for radio and vehicle parameters. Very nippy if pushed, cruise and speed limiter were were interesting playthings around the village and on the NSL sections of the A5.
Not tempted to recommend it though.
Today my car (the older 05/IDI Berlingo) is in dock with my tame French car specialist over its ongoing post service rough starting issue.
Loan car (they're keeping mine in 'cos trouble is only present when cold/standing) is a 13yo X reg Picasso. It's diesel so I guess HDi 90 and with 180k on clock. Apart from a slight knock on lock it performs faultlessly. Radio and all the electronic dash stuff works fine.
I much prefer ease of access compared with 2 door Pug and the high driving position feels just right.
