Special mention : It’s a very comfortable van to live in, especially with the auto gear box. It’s big, bright and airy. Which means it’s easy to see all around what’s going on ahead, beside and behind you. Also, there’s storage pockets everywhere. The designers really listened to the consumer who will use the Rifter as their portable office.
Needs work : The design is specifically for utilitarian purposes. The LWB rear seats are a little awkward to work around for moving a few bits and pieces. It’s a shame the LWB rear most seats don’t fold flush with the floor but that’s the difference between the Rifter and a Family SUV.
