- If you like van reviews then be sure to let me know as I'd like to review more of them. This week I'm trundling around in the Volkswagen Caddy van for 2021, looks modified right?

Can’t believe that they have taken the above head shelf! It was so useful
I'm the same Barry, I missed that shelf
Top shelf was all fun and games until an invoice book took the head off ya 🙈
Hi gents, overhead storage is available for €150 however we will be looking to make it standard (if possible) from Jan 2022. Launch models can be difficult to include all previous elements from former model Caddy until full production process and parts are confirmed with the factory. We’ll keep you posted but appreciate the feedback.
My neighbour had a souped up Astramax van when I was a kid. Thought it was the coolest thing ever.
Vans are super cool when they are done up
Wish there was more people doing van reviews, I think it’s a niche that someone needs to tackle!
Grew up with vans, late father had an engineering supplies business. Had Renault Traffics which would go like stink but were very thirsty. Best were Merc 308d models which just kept going. And going.
Love the commercial reviews Bob.
Thanks Aidan!
Dont get me started with the red tape regarding commercial/private vehicles in this country. Id love a transporter crewcab or Amarok to lug the family and all the bikes around aswell as carrying DIY related materials. But NO! Between, tax, insurance, testing and tolls, its a complete faff for anyone who doesnt have a VAT or herd number. It would be great if you could do a seperate video with info regarding the ins and outs of it all.
8 lads in my local all have vans,not registered,no herd number and some on the dole,don't believe all that scare mongering bollix
I prefer van based lifestyle cars over regular hatchbacks or saloons. They double up as a car and a van and the modern ones are starting to look smart too.
Good review Bob one's again,
Can see lots of id 3 parts being past over to this caddy van front bumper and inside bits to keep good work going 👍
Overhead storage is now an optional extra €350
Wow that's way too much for something that was a standard!
The overhead storage is €147 as an option on Caddy. Thanks
Hi Bob, drive a transit connect every day 211 reg. Still the best small van on the road!!! Jamie
I hope to test some Ford's later this year!
Ford 1.6/1.5 diesels are more reliable, not just the engines but every part of the car.
And steering and shifting is so much better. (have not driven this latest caddy yet, only the previous model).
I'm also very sorry that the next connect is just a caddy.
Great review as ever Bob. I have to say I was impressed with this van when Nobby reviewed it also tho'it being VW I'd say that trim level probably won't be cheap.
Anyone remember the Seat Inca? While the Caddy mark ii was basically a Polo with a shed bolted on the back, the Inca was an Ibiza with the same shed on the back. It's mad. You wouldn't have said that the Polo and the Ibiza were the exact same car rebadged, yet that's exactly what you would have said about the Caddy and the Inca.
Didn’t think OnlyVans would make its way to the pc brigade at RUclips! You went a bit saucy with the backdoors there Bob. What’s the caddy based on? A polo? Looks better made than some of their recent passenger stuff!
Great video...the history was a cool little point of difference
The overhead bin used annoy me as it was literally head height in the last caddy so a model for a head bang., Preferred the connect due to the headroom. Why have VAG detuned to 2.0 to 122 bhp?
The VRT must be really bad in Ireland for Bob to be peddling Vans. Well in the green new world horse drawn carriages might just be the most tax efficient mode of transport, or Ebikes.
Good review Bob. Reminds me of the 1997 Citroen Berlingo. The out going Caddy was the high point but that’s a nice colour in fairness. The rear end just looks so meh ....
Crackin review man!
And now I want a van...jeez cheers Bob :)
Sorry have to disagree with you on the third seat. Vans this size don't really get a third seat, it's more like 2.5 seats. If you want a third seat, buy a bigger van? You have also missed the fact in your review about the Caddy Cargo's lack of payload in relation to other vans in his segment, an important factor when buying a van. I also found the touchscreen distracting , why you need a touchscreen to change the heat etc is beyond me?
Just my opinions after test driving one for a day.
Making a passenger airbag work properly with a third passenger seat might have been tricky and made it structurally too much different from the normal car. Three occupants and two airbags could get messy if the airbags didn’t deploy simultaneously.
Mmm doesn’t the rear end look very like a Fiat doblo cargo🤔
Payload is too small, PSA group versions are up at 1000kg
It really need the 3rd seat. Do you think Seat will bring back the inca or skoda bring out there own one
Hi Mick, in relation to the third seat (bench seat) it must be noted that we regard passenger safety as the highest importance. Whilst others may have the third seat which is handy we feel two passengers sharing a single airbag is not a great idea. This is why the Caddy has one seat and one dedicated passenger airbag. Safety of our customers is paramount. Thanks.
@@warrenreidy7925 OK fair enough but could they not put in an extra seat and an extra airbag?
@@micklawlor9438 Hi Mick, I won’t pretend to know how the safety regulations apply but I’m not sure it’s even possible given limited space between passengers & any potential dual airbag system. I’ve never seen this in practice anywhere. Enjoy your weekend 👍🏽
Caddylac was good van but 15years ago...
Engines are under powered 75bhp 102bhp and 122bhp
Should be 130bhp 150bhp and 170bhp at least..
At least they will be very low stress on the engine, reliable for a long time
Where is the electric version? They want us to be greener to the environment?
“Manly to have a van”?? 😳 I don’t think so, mate! You need an Overlander such as the G Wagon, Jeep Rubicon to be “manly”!
L have 1 2008 caddy with 308000km end 1 2022 brand new l make only 7500km end l hate it
here from tik tok
what is a turd seat ?😂😂
Just buy a VW ID3. Over 200bhp, instant torque, and doesn't pollute the planet, while costing 80% less on fuel.
It does polute the planet and it isn't a van
@@BobFlavinVideo Let's put it like this for you Bob. I would never force you to breathe the emissions of an oil burner, which is why my van is an electric VW 🆔️3️⃣.
The ID bit stands for 'Intelligent Design' by the way - a huge clue as to which type of propulsion has had the death knell sounded for it by VW.
@@ciaransherry6021 um how the fuck do you compare a hatchback to a van?
@@ciaransherry6021 What do you think all the materials are made from for the electric cars? Carbon neutral fairy dust?
@@niceguy235uk1 The fairy dust in an electric car becomes carbon neutral by driving it.
The combustion car goes in the opposite direction by driving it.
Simple!
