    The berlingo and partner are the same car, bar a few interior differences, but the berlingo is generally cheaper to buy.

    I have a 2004 berlingo since new and been a very good car for 80k miles. Mine is the 1.6 petrol and in my view a far better engine than the more common 1.4, which seems very under-gunned for a reasonable size vehicle.

    Get the Berlingo Multispace, for all that kid stuff to be stowed away in.
    Kangoo's too much like a Popemobile to take seriously.
