Hi.
Looks like I've narrowed my search down to these 2 as they've got to fit on my drive with my little Kia.Question is are both the Symphony and Harmony always on based on the Boxer and are they available in petrol and diesel. If so which is the best engine for power and mpg?
Regards
Tony

Power = petrol
Mpg = diesel.

The only petrol engine available is 2ltr. The 1.9ltr normally aspirated diesel one I test drove felt gutless. The 1.9ltr was available with turbo but I never drove one.
Was the next diesel up 2.2 or 2.5?

I was really pleased with the performance of my 2.0L Symphony. Bags of power and good consumption.

Are Symphonys and Harmonys still in production? Anyway, Tony isn't looking for a brand new van.

Mine's a symphony 2.5D non turbo, 30+ mpg pulls well and I never hold traffic up.
I was about to say bulletproof but I may be tempting fate.

Not a Symphony or Harmony though is it?
Pretty sure the 2ltr HDI wasn't available for these models.
