gnasher16 30,470 Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 (edited) The Caddy is the better van no question about it,but then its a slightly more expensive van and holds its value better......but thats simply through whats known in the trade as " badge snobbery " ......The earlier Connects are not built to the same quality as the Caddy,both are very similar as regards running costs though the Caddy is a better looking van in my opinion.....both will take 1 pallet though its a bit more of a squeeze in a Caddy................and most Caddys have windows in the back instead of the full doors which some people dont like....................thats about all i can remember Edited May 16, 2012 by gnasher16 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
