The Land Rover Discovery 4 and Volkswagen Golf Van were voted category winners in the Continental Irish Van of the Year 2011, by the Irish Motoring Writers Association (IMWA) van jury.
All nine voting members of the IMWA Van Jury took part in the vote. In deciding on these category winners, the jury members took into account such attributes as load capacity, reliability, overall versatility, cost of ownership and drive comfort.
Presenting the awards to Eddie Kavanagh, Land Rover Ireland and Niall Phillips of Volkswagen Ireland, Paddy Murphy of Continental Tyres Ireland commented: “These two great vehicles have won the valuable endorsement of the Irish Motoring Writers Association. I am sure that winning this Continental Irish Van of the Year Category Award will support the success in the commercial marketplace for both the Discovery 4 and the Golf Van.”
