You will be moved by this people mover

designed first and foremost as a car.

Drive-wise the Combo is car like, although those looking for sports car acceleration will be disappointed (and should go for the higher-powered 128bhp version) but it is comfortable with a great raised driving position and all the logically-placed controls fall easily to hand.

The rear sliding doors are very practical and it can be ordered in a longer wheelbase, seven seat version - meaning you really can move people in this people mover.

Engine options are a 1.2-litre, three-cylinder turbo petrol and our 1.5-litre, four-cylinder turbo diesel with different outputs up to that 128bhp unit which can be ordered with an eight-speed automatic gearbox.

Our test manual version only had five gears but the general fit and finish inside and out was very good considering the price - from £21,540 on the road.

And that will be one of the Combo Life’s big selling points as for this level of equipment it undercuts the opposition, including it’s French cousin the Rifter.
