Beach is a great option and more flexible than a combi with the ability to slide the seats, plus a much higher trim level inside and therefore less noise.Interesting idea , but prefer something a bit bigger- room for 3 bikes inside, maybe seating up to 5, like the higher driving position of the T5/6.
The idea of throwing bikes in the back is something you have to think about with both options, the beach with the seat all the way forwards I can get my MTB in with one wheel off just, can achieve the same with a tilt on the single limbo seat, but for anything serious you need the bench seat out, or run with single seats only.
As a daily that can be a day van the beach is hard to beat, gas cooker surprisingly useful, heater and pop top makes a great summer or winter van and Continental options you get window blinds and the nice dash that doesn’t make it to the U.K. like a lot of other options so your choice is probably easier to make.
Sounds like a great combination that allows the best of both without the compromises.
