I'm not so sure if there are more Berlingos on our roads than Kangoos
now.

[rapwong]

Of course the Kangoo will outnumber them due to the simple reason its
CKD. Huge embarassment for TC if they cant achieve this. Futhermore no
more new Berly can be bought at the moment

[jcw9960]

Thanks rawong. That was the point I was trying to make in response to a
statement by one of the readers further up in this tread.

jcw9960 you know something you shoot from your ass
most of the time.
You don't have facts in order pls check again.

Have been to Europe a few times and I suggest you
do the same before opening your mouth.

Even in france there are more Berlingo's/Pug Partners
than Kangoo's and the same goes for UK there are
much,much more Berls in Great Britain..

The most popular Renault has to be the Megane with
J.Lo bum evn clio cannot match Cit's Saxo and C2
They are there in huge numbers

Don't believe me ,go see for yourself....
I think your views are biased and should be
disregarded... I think you are a TC salesman trying to
make a buck here.

MagicRide,

I'm sorry to have irked you...but you are right. I do not have the data
to share. And neither do you.

Like you, I based my opinion on what I see on the streets of Paris,
Spain, Italy, Portugal etc etc. (Yes, I've been to Europe plenty
times...especially since my girlfriend is from France)

And you're absolutely right - UK is a toughie - mostly Vauxhaul and Fords
I see in this sort of vehicle type.

I'm not a car salesman (don't intend to be at any time in my life).

Clio is long in the tooth, so it sits second to Pug's 206 I think. Saxo
was successful in its time I'm sure, but the last time I was in Paris I
didn't see many C2. More C3s than C2s is what I saw.

finally, I just got free to test drive friend's berlingo, my comment for
that used berlingo :-
1) ride & handling (I felt like the kangoo is better..maybe is new)
2) interior felt very roomy.
3) power as enough and I think same as kangoo,
4) 2 rows only compare with kangoo 3 rows
5) cluct (manual) feel very hard, don't know weather can adjust or not?
6) plus point is the reverse gear position same as japanese car while
Kangoo position like savvy.

one thing is since the berlingo is very unique and very hard to see on
the road, thus, you will noticed every one just look at you.

enquiry: any idea where's to get the spareparts and service except from
directional?

[rapwong]

If the Berly has a weakness, the clutch cable is it. Just replace it and
problem solved. As for parts most Cit owners look away from Directional
bar the newer ones of course.

[Benson]

any major problem for the berlingo?
any more info for berlingo VS Kangoo.

I like the name BERLINGO

[trotsky]

After viewing both cars, I believe that both the Berlingo and Kangoo are
equally matched. The only difference in your purchase will be the after
sales support provided by the franchise dealers. Just choose the car that
provides you the best after sales support and service.

I used to have berlingo 2 and i have no problem with its service and
quality.

Fuel consumption also very cheap. About 12km/l in my case (mixed city and
highway.
Powerwise , it is good for town and cruising on a highway. A bit dragging
for uphill. Even that i never had problem going up to bukit tinggi and
genting.

NVH , not bad at all. The reason i sold it is not because of any problem
but i need a more rugged vehicles and so i opted xtrail for a change.

In my opinion if you can get cheaper than 40K for 2-3 years old berl. Go
for it.
I sold mine at 45K with more a less 50K mileage.

On aftersales service, you can go to good place like Autochild to service
and you dont have to worry for any sub quality offering by Directional
anymore. Trust me , Berlingo is a reliable MPV with good value for money.
