Wanted to buy but was not sure and waiting ....

Suddenly the price went up to $68k

Well for a start the doblo is europrean van of the year 2006. During test drive - she really feels like driving a normal car very quiet & smooth. The height & space really feels good .................

[fooz]

hmmm.... ok...

tts strange, coz tts wat pple said abt the combo too!

 

tinking bet the doblo n combo..

mayb will testdrive both when m bak.

 

doblo comes in hw 2 versions like the combo(DTI n CDTI)?

another thing, opel combo's engine is quite noisy compared to doblo and panorama..

[limbat]

Yeap, the doblo definately have a quiet engine - almost similar to a petrol engine.

 

[ANR Impex]

No leh, side by side comparison is that combo is definately quieter. Doblo has less cabin noise because of the noisy tyres on the combo. But engine wise, Combo is very quiet, while the Doblo sounds like a small truck. Response wise, the combo is better, but doblo has better urban consumption and does not have the significant turbo lag of the combo. Combo has way superior high speed stability while doblo is twitchy above 70.

[bluroblur]

lol, those 2 have pros and cons...if u wan a car-like, take combo becoz doble is too much like a van...serious, but for handling goods, doblo is a great choice...for private uses, take combo as it feels good behind...for doblo, back passenger wont be sitting so high like sitting SUV, if u wan to console urself..lol, btw, no back passenger (unless worker) is allowed but its legal if its cover by insurance, rem to call up ur insurance to clarify because if really gt accident....too bad...

 

as for fuel consumption, combo is defintely better...speed...stability...

 

for combo, the CDTI version gt 4disc brakes, ABS, sports rims(Lta APPROVE)...nice...like a car...i believe its the only eurovan that has these features...yes, for doblo, can personally change to sports rim...if LTA no approve, LPPL, b4 next inspection gotta change back again...to stock wheels...i seen cases like this...waste labour charges...

 

but anyway, VAN is van, CAR is car, take and giv...both got its features...but rem don compare the prices as 1 is 1.3 and the other is 1.7...take the price of FIT 1.3 with FIT 1.5 vtec ..u know the difference

[RetlaW]

im driving a doblo 1.9jtd...

i finished running in only after 5000km.. the 1st servicing..

lmost had the veh for 1 yr... a couple of manufacture defect surfaced... but wty covers all... a nice van i would say... i like it cos the rear and the front is nt totally mashed or wired up.. except for driver side

The Fiat agent service is very good when compared to Opel Triangle Auto. Fast and efficient.

[bluroblur]

lol...depend....if u buy directly from agent....of coz...attitude tends to be lousy, but if u buy from any dealer, its totally different because they wont want to lose precious customers...

 

AGENT = DONT GIVE A DAMN coz vehicle will still sell

Dealer = buy liao, provide good service, customer will then go back buy again...

[ANR Impex]

I am comparing both agents for the respective brands.
