I've got an early 90's carby petrol LWB hiace, and cant knock it value for money. It's never let me down.
It's not as good on fuel as some of the diesels and my mates i-load runs rings around it, but then they cost 6 or 7 times as much.
There's heaps of parts avaliable for em, second-hand and aftermarket bling bits. Ford wheel 5 stud pattern means cheap mags are readily avaliable too.
I dont realy know much about the others i was told when i went looking the the toyotas were the pick of the bunch and i cant complain with what i bought.
