Hi all, we are upgrading from our beloved Citroen Berlingo and awning to a 2006 Duetto.  Took it for a test drive yesterday (stalled it 3 times as clutch very different!) and put a deposit down.  We collect it in two weeks time and are beyond excited  hugegrins Looking forward to learning lots from you lovely lot x

Thanks all, we are in love with our Duetto!  First trip under the belt (only a short distance) and down to the coast for the bank holiday weekend with other Autosleeper chums x

Ooh the Rienza looks very spacious!  We did look at something very similar but I was a bit unsure about driving something so large....big jump from a Citroen Berlingo with a mattress and awning as it is.... Finding it very easy to drive considering the jump up in size though s maybe I was being a wuss  hugegrins

Management was a bit unsure about the size of the Duetto but found it easier than the Landrovers. The Rienza being a Mk6 Transit isn't too difficult to adjust to from her Polo. The Transits have become more civilised to drive as the years have gone by.
Don't forget to just ask, there is usually some one with an answer on the forum.
