PARKER’S SUMMARY

Trafic is Renault's medium-sized van. It goes head-to-head with the Ford Transit and VW Transporter. It's a popular panel van, though it is available in minibus, crewcab and dropside versions. It's comfortable, easy to drive and the diesel engines are particularly impressive.

The cabin's easy to access and the driving position is comfortable for both long and short trips, with a height-adjustable driver's and a height and reach-adjustable steering wheel. The attractive cabin is user friendly and the use of heavy duty plastics means that it's durable too. The gear stick is mounted on the dashboard, which makes for a flat floor and easier gearchanges - especially welcome around town. It's practical inside, too, with big door bins for large bottles (extra are fitted in the rear of crew cab versions) and a large dash, which is ideal for keeping documents and maps close to hand.

Good visibility means that it's good for city work and parking isn't a problem. It cruises well on the motorway and has enough puff for overtaking. The steering is pretty responsive and the brakes are sharp. It can be a bit noisy, but this only becomes a real issue from the engine at speed.

Every Trafic has ABS, and emergency brakeforce distribution. Optional safety extras include dual front airbags, seatbelt pre-tensioners and an electronic stability programme. Security is good, with anti-tamper locks, remote central locking and an immobiliser. A third key can also be specified, which is particularly useful for fleet customers. Parker's Guide Overall Rating of 4 Stars

COST TO RUN

A good value van. It's reasonably priced as both a new and a used buy, has sensible insurance and has long service intervals (every 18,000 miles, with a major service every 60,000). Fuel economy from the dCi diesel engines is respectable and depreciation is about the same as other vans of this size.
