New Van Time-Mercbenz 115 CDi or VW TDi 174?
New van time and seeing that I'm going to spend 80% of my driving week in it, lets make it fun 
So I've narrowed it down to these 2. Tried the VW 174 which was a laugh a minute. Never have I accelerated in a van as quickly as this. This one was plylined which I don't need, so it would be even better without. The handling was good. The console? Basic but practical. Need to add up the choice of toys to the price as well.
Mercedes Benz 115 CDi. Know little about this one. The engine puts out 150 bhp at 3800rpm and 330nm at 1800-2400rpm as opposed to the VW's 174PS at 3500rpm 400nm at 2000rpm. I'll try to see one this week. Maybe a little bigger than the VW I guess? Don't need bigger so this would go against it. On the other hand if it's an overall better van....
Anyone with experience of these 2 vans? Driven both maybe?
