Mixed reviews on Toyota’s Proace van

Since its debut last spring, what’s the word on Toyota’s Proace van? Is it a formidable van that will make you forget about its predecessor, the Hiace? Although the Proace van is essentially a rebadged Peugeot Expert, which is also badged as the Citroen Dispatch and Fiat Scudo, it does offer a rather smooth quiet ride while benefiting from Electronic Stability Program (ESP) which helps prevent sideway skids. Did Toyota provide enough in this light van to put in on top of the must buy list of businesses looking to add to their fleet?

I found two slightly different opinions on this van when reading its reviews. While Business Vans website found it a quiet competent van, another reviewer in Scotland found it to be lacking in more than a few key areas.

In a recent article in the Scotsman online, writer Alan Anderson gives his review of the Toyota Proace. Click here to see what he had to say. Alternately, to compare, the review written by Peter Witherington from Business Vans, can be read here.
