shark_90 Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 Nice! I didn't even know they did a Sportline outside of the T5. What engine is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony M Posted April 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 Nice! I didn't even know they did a Sportline outside of the T5.What engine is it? They've only been out for a year or so. Its the 2.0TDi 140ps 6 speed. It's going to shift! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tipex Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 It'll certainly shift if shark remaps it for you! I like these, remember looking at one a while back when they first came out when I was thinking of getting a T5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonC Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 Very nice. Would look great MTB trackside, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mook Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 That's the longer one as well - I seem to remember seeing "maxi" or something on the back of a long wheel base one last week. Not sure if you can fit a MTB in the back without de-wheeling it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if you can fit a MTB in the back without de-wheeling it? I think Dave has a bike carrier in his, so I think it's possible without taking the wheel off?

Dave Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 Yes, its a maxi like mine (expect mine isn't sportsline).. do like that You'd get a bike in the back easy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony M Posted April 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 Will have to dig my MTB out of the back of the garage then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oli Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 The caddy maxi shape just doesnt work visually for me, just too long! But its yours, so enjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony M Posted June 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 I said that when I first saw one. It's growing on me though. Actually it's not. Anybody for a 2 month old Sportline? I don't like it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted June 14, 2010 Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 Interesting! Any particular reason? It doesn't drive like a saloon car for sure, but as vans go it's one of the better ones! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony M Posted June 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 Interesting! Any particular reason? It doesn't drive like a saloon car for sure, but as vans go it's one of the better ones! Going from a T5 Sportline, it always had big shoes to fill. Where shall I start? Only 2 seats. Side loading doors are ridiculously narrow. No armrests on drivers seat. No locking glove box, not even a lid. Cup holders don't fit any cup i've ever owned. Looks like a hearse from the side. In all honesty, it drives really nice and goes like ****, but it's not a T5. An expensive mistake on my part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all honesty, it drives really nice and goes like ****, but it's not a T5. An expensive mistake on my part. 2 seats.. yes, i can see that being a problem.. you can get a back row of seats which i have.. they fold away well too. Side loading doors narrow.. yes, I would agree with that.. even more so when you have a bench seat folded up. No armrests.. fair enough.. it's a smallish van so i don't really miss them. Locking glove box.. never realised but see what you mean. it's just a hole.. there are very few secure places to leave stuff. Cup holders seem ok to me.. they hold a drinking bottle or can of coke.. I have two in the front so i presume you do too? Hearse ?.. I love the look of your van.. i wouldn't call it a hearse. As vans go i think your maxi is one of the better looking ones. However, I would agree that is is no T5! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calm Chris Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 Actually it's not. Anybody for a 2 month old Sportline? I don't like it! Likely to be too much for me, I'm after a 6 door maxi 104 ps 08 onward (expecting £7.5k ish + VAT) and will be going to Bedford BCA next week since they have 6+ in the auctions fitted out with racks. Now if you really want to sell it to me for £10k I'd be more than happy PS Check auto trader they have a few at £14k+ VAT, but they aren't selling quickly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony M Posted June 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 They've stopped making them so hopefully that will help me shift it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 Have they stopped making the maxi sports line? Are they planning a replacement ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony M Posted June 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 Have they stopped making the maxi sports line? Are they planning a replacement ? There is a new facelift Caddy out later this year. All I have been told by 3 dealers, is that there will be no more Sportline Caddys made in the current model style.
