Caddy as only car

[richierich75]

My Caddy Maxi is my sole vehicle now. Still have my Polo which is stored depending a decision on its future. Paying £235 quid road tax for occasional use is outrageous.

I find the Caddy is quiet and refined, especially after returning to a solid bulkhead, and the cab heater is much more effective.

For anyone fitting a rear seats, make sure the fixing points have extra welds applied. Was talking to the guy in the parts department. They see Transporters coming in that have extra seats, in what was originally just a van. Although the fixing points are there, apparently they aren't welded as securely as on a factory built example with rear seats.

I have a car and a Caddy and never drive the car.

I only have the caddy as my everyday driver. Its the lower spec from factory (no electric windows etc.) and i still find it grand to drive. you could even upgrade seats to some nice car seats if you wanted to. Id advise throwing some tommyzoom bulkhead panels if you can afford them to help with sound. Unless you need to carry people in the back a lot I would say you will find the caddy more than suitable to use as your car.

I got rid of my Audi a4 avant for a caddy maxi mainly for mtb transportation. Firstly I had doubts but after lowering and putting alloys on the van I haven't looked back.

I own a car, but I probably drive it once a week, the rest of the time I'm quite happy in the van or on the bike.

I only drive a van but have the use of a car too. The Caddy I have to say is equally as refined as the car I drive (2009 Golf 5). I like the van as on the practical side, I just throw everything in the back. I don't have any rear seats so I don't have to worry about moving all the crap everytime I want to give more than one person a lift!

We've now gone to Caddy as only car, however our previous car was only used about once a week anyhow. Caddy is the bike carrying replacement
