Nothing wrong with vans -I love my Landrover Disco, not quite a van but a bit agricultural I know, but show me something that you can't get in the back, on the roof or in/on a trailer to tow.  Also love my 'old' VW camper van, over 30 yrs old and still goin strong, doesn't have all the luxuries of the new vans but hey it's fun, easy to swap the engine with the Cabrio beetle when I've got trouble - and hey I don't have to give Mr. Blair any money for road tax every year - they're tax free?
 
What's wrong with ten year old Audi's Mark, my 8 year old one runs great?
 
Steve (admirer of 'old' slow cars).

Go for it Keith, I was offered a company car but after quite a few months of
haggling the company agreed to buy me a 2.5ltr TDI Intercooler VW
Transporter SWB van, and I love it! never have liked cars, cannot get either
my Recumbent push bike in one or my large helicopters! and you can sleep in
it.

Modern vans have come a long way in the last few years, at 80mph I can still
hold a conversation in the thing, also has electric windows, electric
mirrors etc, and it does about 35mpg, luvly.

I remember a few years ago there was a top fashion designer who died and he
always drove a van and he was rich, so I'm told.
