2021 VW Crafter review | Edd China's in-depth review | What Car?

[@nellyandbert]

Great to see Ed back onscreen. Great presenter. Don’t limit him to vans.

[@dragonskunkstudio7582]

I'd watch him even if he reviewed farm equipment.

[@leeverink32]

Oh and ed when is your new program comming?

[@BlueJazzBoyNZ]

Edd China is the Gold Standard for Honesty, informed smarts and NO BS

[@MG-ce3dx]

Damn , I missed this guy ..great job Ed 🤝

[@SuperLEEEDWARDS]

Nice to see your back Edd, when i was a van driver [now mobile cranes] i HATED THE over priced Sprinter my boss at the time bought a new VW LT35 extra LWB which was MY VAN . I used to drive upto Longbridge [ROVER] and over to Land Rover Solihull and Loved that van So comfortable good on fuel [not that i payed] but it NEVER let me down. I put 167,000 on the clock in 2 years right up until the GREEDY managers BROKE the back of Rover and i lost my job of 13 years ,i also drove Lorries at the time. Since then i have been an VW/Audi guy all the way.

[@MegaNavek]

It just shows ,that was a brilliant review and i didn’t miss mike brewer one bit.....more ed please👍👍👍

[@seanbeautridge99]

Great to see Ed back! Top bloke whose opinion I will definitely trust.

[@raycroal]

is it his opinion but????

[@MartinLV.]

talking about loads of comfort whilst steering wheel on knees and sitting on rear end of bottom seems a bit streched..

[@thomaspowell3739]

Wheeler dealers is nothing without this guy

[@ASTMA193]

Hooray! It's Edd China. He's a great person to review vans/cars. Nice one.

[@mariekfishing]

You are good at this Ed - would like to see more.

[@EmyrDerfel]

Also worth mentioning that whilst the Crafter is no longer merely a rebadged Sprinter, you can get the new Crafter with MAN badges. So you could be a white van man driving a white MAN van.

[@bikerman6907]

😁

“Get a Van, Jez. You do that, and we can be Men with Ven.”

[@Olliebobalong]

A white man van driving a white MAN van.

[@YannickS1984]

I just bought my first Volkswagen Crafter yesterday 😊 L4H3 RWD 177bhp. After watching this video another confirmation that I made the right choice! Thx Edd! 👌🏻

[@phillattfield8502]

Ed. You are the best. Please do reviews on everything. You need your own TV show!

[@trizvanov]

Never thought I'd watch a review of a bloody van... that is, until I saw it was done by mr. China!

[@GarryMcGovern]

More Ed please! Don't care if it is a shopping trolley or a wheelbarrow: if it's got wheels and you have Ed review it....... I'll watch it! 😉

[@Sidetops11]

I'm not remotely interested in vans, but I'm here to listen and watch Ed China talk about them. Which makes it interesting and enjoyable to watch.

[@andyjackson4996]

Loving watching Edd again! Although I wonder how much of what he said were his own opinions over just reading a script?

[@petedrake1]

Hang on, the transit is available with fwd, rwd and awd and automatic

[@bobmarley6161]

Edd is full of knowledge about cars... Let him review some cars..... He's a legend.... Humble guy....

[@Dezarros]

Don't even need a van but the Crafter is the best looking van I've ever seen and want one just because of that 😂😂

[@alexisjeausgarcialodeiro6899]

Great review as always mate,super job,Cheers

[@johnandshelly82]

Something good to add is how the vans fair in terms of theft. I have heard some horror stories of brand new vans only taking minutes to break into. Great review Edd will definitely watch more.

[@syproful]

Any van with inside door release handle can be open in under a minute with a drill and high quality bit to drill through the plate.

[@mrade5321]

I've not had a new Crafter yet, but I got a new sprinter with 19 miles on the clock. By 700 miles, it was fucked. Serious loss of power (40mph max) and heavy vibration. Don't know the exact cause, but defo either clutch or gearbox issues. It got replaced with a brand new VW Transporter. What a fantastic little van. Superb to drive and made a good noise. It was like a little angry jack russell 😃

[@thedeadstig123]

every review should now be done by Ed China :D

[@Liamofloin]

As an engineer & inventor I thought you'd introduce some thoughts & facts about the van I wouldn't find in the dealers brochure. 🙁

[@seanoreilly1832]

Why is ed China reviewing vans? Should have his own series

[@nogamenolife705]

This guys a brilliant reviewer. I don't know how i even got here but i ended up watching other reviews he done lol.

[@alessandromarcon4696]

It's a pleasure to see Edd in video. I hope he come back to explain how to repair old cars

[@markscrivener9312]

Great review Ed, detailed and very informative.

[@Spookieham]

Good review Edd. We need to see you back on TV mate. WD going down the US gurgler has left a gap that needs plugged. Car SOS has picked up the slack but there is still room.

[@TermlessHGW]

Edd please answer the question...which is better in a van, fwd or rwd. Not only dynamically because I would pick rwd all day long but mechanically as well. Thx. Great to see you back near car's. You should start car reviews full time!

[@stevenlong5888]

Hi Ed, great video, looking forward to more 👍🏻

[@Mark-M72]

everyone need more Ed in their life :-D

[@Milkybar3320011]

I now need a crafter in my life! Top job edd, good to see you back.

[@ukman9797]

Who would you trust to give an honest opinion on a motor...China or Brewer, I know who I'd trust. Nice to see you Edd, enjoyed the review...more please!

[@MBAKERY92]

thank for edd china pls can you take more video with edd china

[@E.1981-s7s]

Ed is the best! Still watching old wheeler dealers episodes. Carry on!

[@stefanwiechmann4808]

It is cool to see Edd again. I hope we will see more of him. I can also Imagine to see a car test from him. Cool review by the way.

[@sidelinemediafilms1736]

LOVE love ED , WHEELER DEALERS ISNT WORTH WATCHING ANYMORE

[@robloxfan4271]

Sideline Media Films ikr with out ed its boring

[@thefreedomguyuk]

I only ever did watch WD for Ed's segments!

[@Pete-z6e]

Sideline Media Films , I think it’s still ok,there was always friction between Ed and Mike.

[@GreenmanXIV]

Edd, it's great to see you back on the interweb, but I'd rather you were fetteling and upgrading motors. Any road up, good to see you back.

[@klx100]

You're the best buddy 😊👍

[@ChocolateFrog]

Great to see Edd back.

[@LjOneable]

Such a lovely guy, I'd love to have a beer with him and discuss cars.

[@joshimitsu96]

Great stuff, more Ed China. Subbed.

[@rhysmorgan8946]

Great to see Ed back, Should not be limited to vans and only thing I didn't like was the constant aggravating backing music

[@Lyndalewinder]

I just bought an Audi Q7 3 litre which cost me £51500 - I can't believe the same company sells a van for £52100!

[@gtahoer]

The past: I could watch Ed China review a bus and I would watch it. And here we are , keeping are word and watching Ed China review a bus.

[@sg8539]

Nice to see you in action again Edd.

[@TheBlaert]

We have the MAN equivalent of this at work. Absolutely fantastic van. Good power, comfortable as a car and the 8-speed auto box is a gem. Far cry from a smiley-front Transit or a Talbot Express

[@BobMahal]

Ok WhatCar have once again pulled a real master stroke (after the success of Rebecca Jackson) by employing yet another high profile personality to do their video reviews to take on car wow and their competitors. Well done Whatcar!

[@elliottkeen9933]

Ed China great to see you on TV again

[@simonvanellis2945]

Cheers Ed, I’m an 18 year old T4 driver, van not me. Been driving a brand new transit this week which has got me thinking of a new van. Would be great to see a review in the T6 and T6 electric.

[@karlfontanari2169]

Top bloke he is up there with the best presenters and would have been great on Top Gear..

[@dane2YT]

Did I see that right?! £52,181 for a van? That's absolutely ridiculous. You could have a 19 plate BMW 8 series for that money. 51k for a van is insane, what makes vw think that people who are looking for a van, are going to spend 51k? just buy 10 transporters.

[@VDPEFi]

It doesn't matter what vehicle edd drives, the steering wheel and controls always look tiny! Not in the market for a van I only rent one from time to time, but these reviews are great.

[@Deepthought-42]

Thanks Ed for this down to earth honest personable information on vans which I am using as a reference to make choices. Before I watched this I wasted an hour watching the “new” and not now very good Top Gear because I thought the program was showing a tribute to Sabine Schmitt. It made me realise how much better Ed China would be at presenting compared to the current Top Gear lot.

[@annemarie69a]

Well done What car you have bagged a star Great to see Ed back and a great review

[@paulwood7798]

We have fourty vans in the fleet at work. The Crafter is by far and away the one that breaks down the most. If I had the choice I would not get one.

[@RodricWeiland]

Be thankful that the firm didn't buy the VW Sprinters!

[@TheFlaneur-up1ft]

I have a 2021 crafter with 200k on the clock and no issues. Wouldn’t be who drives them and who services them would it?

[@pheasantpluckersson2138]

Yay Edd’s back, take it to bits take it to bits 😂👍🏻

[@117000000]

😊 Beeing the mechanic Edd China he should take every car in the shop to review how easy it is to take apart for repairs, service, outfitting /custumising and assess the durability.

[@bengo76]

Nice to see you here also Edd

[@paradisepictures1527]

Hi Edd; Good review - i've watched all or most of your earlier van reviews and reckon they're all great. One other van I'd like to see you review is the Toyota Hi-Ace (unless you have already and i'm just too dopey to have found it)!

[@RAPIDNISMO]

You've gotta love Edd China

[@046sillogue]

Great to see Ed again..more please

[@phillipbalch3371]

Good to see Edd again Can you please add tow weights to suv's, 4x4 and vans.

[@kasirmir1925]

Great work Edd. More Edd, please 👍🏻

[@paulshields6863]

Glad your back on ED.

[@jacobusenmez8506]

It’s great to see Edd China back. Shame it’s about vans

[@WDfangirl]

Edd is the best car mechanic / expert! ☺

[@travis1609]

Nice to See You Edd.Greetings from Berlin Germany. Keep it up👍👋

[@rogertrucker]

Black wheels... is that the new trend on vans too? Nice to see you Edd!

[@marka11111]

Happy to see Edd!

[@duraflonfabrics7786]

Very enjoyable review Ed. Any chance of reviewing the latest Transit? My own experience of driving both vans empty was that the Transit was more compliant over bumps and had lower noise levels; in the Crafter the bulkhead seems to "ring". I agree with you that the Crafter's steering is better weighted. Obviously the Crafter, like the Sprinter, does have more kudos which is important to us motorhome converters! Looking forward to hearing your views.

[@rossgoodwin2700]

Glad to see edd back! Question tho would vw consider building a Crafter 6 or 8 seater mpv swb, modern mpvs are to cramped, ceilings to low and the transporter is too tight for the driver . I'm 6 foot 4 and my knees are wedged up against the dash.

[@Demidar665]

Why would they even bother with a 100 HP engine ?!!!!

[@Motorsportsgeek]

Ed, you need to start your own channel!

[@danbarrett9524]

miss you Edd. wish you were back on TV

[@miamimo70]

I know diddly squat about vans, just glad Edd is back

[@dazsid100]

Good to see Edd 👍🏿

[@hakrihe]

Also Transit is available fwd, rwd and awd.

[@stuartwhelan3258]

Yay Ed's back. Sweet

[@anders4u222]

Finally a car big enough for Edd😃

[@mrpete1972]

Great review Edd, can you do one on the Transporter T6 please..

[@artokiiskinen1058]

Mr China is back. Instant sub

[@alliejr]

Edd is GREAT... the background music? not so much ...it's distracting and adds nothing.

[@robloxfan4271]

Nice to see ed again

[@patconway7402]

Great review , I had this same model on hire , would agree with most of it however I found fuel consumption very disappointing compared to its rivals.

[@001-j7l]

i enjoy listening to this wizard on car mechanics, are we going to see more of Ed on this channel? Edit: I see he's done a Merc Sprinter one too, keep them coming, let him do wacky stuff :D

[@simone1997ita]

He’s back ❤️🚀

[@petrusmorsch]

Hey Edd, may I ask how big you are? I noticed you couldn't stand full upright inside of the van. Makes me wonder ....

[@AL-ud2is]

oh dear, from star of WD to reviewing vans for what car on YT

[@samm_205]

Good review. Why don't Skoda make a van thats just a cheaper, rebadged version of this? They could get plenty of easy sales as the van market doesn't have that much variety. It won't cost them much to make either.

[@Qspecialman]

Great review Edd, thanks, keep up the good work!

[@strtngfrsh]

Glad to see Ed back and think he did an excellent job in this reviews but the last thing we need is another automobile reviewer. Ed has so much more talent than this and the market is flooded with them already. I do hope he moves in other directions.

[@hammeredhemi1223]

Dear Ed, I have 2 x 2010 crafters and if there any indicator of what is to come as far as reliability, i wouldn't piss on them if they were on fire. Buy anything but, seriously.

[@jnsaoo]

Transit is also available with front, rear and all-wheel drive.

[@aircooledorion]

nice to see edd busy, but could have been better if edd had taken the van apart for an even closer look.

[@jarmominkkinen2450]

Edd China you are the Best.

[@mj_aussie_coaster_travels8310]

Less of a review and more of a video brochure....

[@jasonmclaughlin-earley8368]

Could you do a review on the new Renault??

[@TonyMotana_]

is this good to transport a motorbike?
