What was the Bongo like
nice to drive if a little noisy with the engine being under the front seats,..bit small and cramped ok for 2 but defo nothing more …come full of tricks like electric blinds on the rear windows which you can operated from the front, electic rising roof plus loads of other niceties … they’re pretty awful on fuel and dont come under sealed as japs dont use salt so you have to have them wax oiled and keep a close eye on the body work…the 2.5 tdi which is the most common has a very weak cylinder head and if the engine overheats which they seam prone to doing cracks the cylinder head…plenty of info on bongofury the owners forum …real good group with loads of info and support….
