Regarding hiring before you buy.......
If you are coming out of a T4 Westfalia Cali into a T5 VW Cali, then you know what you doing and probably just need a test drive(s) to see if you want 140hp or 180, manual or dsg.
If however, you are coming out of a tent, or luxury b&b, or a motor home, then I think hiring is very worth the effort.
Even more so if you need the agreement of 'the other half' that this is good use of £40k+.
There are lots of 'slept in once' Cali's to support hiring before you buy. It may be a super looking, super cool bit of uber design, but it doesn't stop many folk deciding it's not for them once they actually experience life in such a small box.
If anyone is sweating over specs, colours and supercool options but hasn't spent a rainy night in something similar, I think they may have put the cart before the horse.
