Phil, what have you been driving? Diesel or petrol?
I have had my diesel Multivan for three years, and absolutely love it!
Mine is the 4Motion manual 128kW diesel, and consumption around town is approx 10 l/100km. It drops to about 8.8 on long trips. This is still better than any petrol van I could get of the same carrying capacity. You would get better consumption from the 2wd version.
In gear pulling power of the diesel is amazing. I don't know how it compares to the petrol version, but the overtaking ability is great, and makes for safer driving.
I find it excellent to drive for long trips. I've taken out the middle swivel seats, as I don't normally need the seven seat capacity, so this gives ample load space.
Cheers,
