I have the panel van version (1.6 manual) for 5 years now.
it's only been doing 80k and it performs well when transporting heavy stuff but i'd admit i've had to change a few components too early compared to my two other vans (hiace and canter) which are doing double the mileage in less time, such as the coil pack and front left wheel bearing.
fuel economy is horrible when you're hitting highway speeds (i guess because of the gearing) but once you're doing 'round the town driving, it's pretty good.
anything else specifically you want to know about it?
