Mercedes-Benz Viano (2004 - 2014) 2.2 CDI Ambiente (Ex Long) (2010) 5d Tip Auto Owner Review

This was bought as a car and a van, so with the back seats out, (both rows) it becomes a huge van but still with a luxurious cabin. Lots of little extras that you don’t get in a transit or T5, but the Mercedes badge means they are still holding their price well. Seems to create a good impression on most people, although people think I have become a taxi driver! I get an average of 33 mpg on most runs, mix of mway and side roads. At its best on motorways, and can be a bit harsh over potholes, and engine is a bit harsh sounding through the gears, although fairly quiet on the motorway. It is fast for a 2 tone 2.2 diesel, and will top 100mph easily, or so I reckon officer, and cruise at whatever speed you want to. Overall a comfortable, well equipped cruiser that can carry huge loads and looks posh. You may want to upgrade the standard cd radio in terms of sound quality though. I fitted a bass amp under the drivers seat that has greatly improved sound quality, as it was very tinny.
