Windy, great post and you are spot on with that value assessment. I have felt the same and am now in a position to order. (The base model is even more bang for buck at £1099 as mentioned aby fwippers.)
As you know the Alhambra is 100% designed to satisfy the driver looking for max practicality; it’s also a decent steer. A car that feels as good as an exec saloon from the driver’s viewpoint, (great driving position, comfortable on long journeys, high spec,) yet can do small house removals when needed.
So, Alhambra diesel to Vivaro electric: I’m fascinated how it compares- can you advise?
