Is the VW Transporter a good van? ›

Our Verdict

As you would expect of a Volkswagen, build quality is excellent and the Transporter also enjoys some of the best residual values in its class. Overall, we think the Volkswagen Transporter is an extremely well-built van and many go on to cover huge mileages and resale values are generally high.

Volkswagen has now ceased production of the T6. 1 and the next generation of Transporters – the T7 – will be built in conjunction with Ford from next year. The collaboration with Ford – codenamed Operation Cyclone – has been kept top secret and is still under wraps.

What is the difference between a VW Transporter startline and highline? ›

The VW Transporter T6. 1 Startline is a great, basic trim, but if you want your Transporter panel van or Transporter kombi with more features and extra comfort, consider the Transporter Highline trim. It's got plenty of extras over the Startline, but it isn't quite as expensive, sporty, or packed as the Sportline.

The Comfortline is Polo's lowest trim level, while the highline is above it. You get a couple of stuff if you choose the highline over the comfortline: alloy wheels, multifunctional leather steering wheel, car floor mats, fatigue detector and and upgraded on-board computer.
