Maybe not the most neutral forum for this question, but it'll be interesting to see how this goes:

Define best. Pre euro6 for reliability and longevity; T6.1 for comfort, tech and most car-like drive.

Very subjective question and certainly cause a few arguments down the pub but if its looks alone then the 23-Window Samba hands down especially a good resto mod

If its best to drive then for me its my T6 4motion I love it

Hit the nail on the head imo. Yeah, t2's look cool, but always break. For me, T6 is best shape out there, but I would have a 6.1 any day for the comfort

My favourite look is a no frills T4 in white, slammed and on steels.
However, I'm sure the newer stuff makes even the T4 feel a little agricultural.

Totally agree, my Euro 5 (140 mapped to 180 but single turbo) T6 doesn't have the refinement of a Euro 6, but it's a lovely van and totally stress free in the 50K miles that I've owned it. I'm not interested in tech, happy to drive myself.
