    Ive got the limited lwb custom to, no complaints here and a hell of a better drive than the volky. Volkys look the part but expensive and uncomfortable for me. Test drove a few before I converted to ford, well pleased and plenty of room. Carpets can be a bit of a pain if you want to load them inside but soon as ive had time to adapt the lower bulkhead then you'll get a roll straight in to the footwell doors closed. Sod the roof rack!

    High roof would have been ideal for me to but had to keep it ncp safe.
    The gadgets you get on these are excellent compared to the volky. I spec'd a t5 up and it reached near the 38k figure :eek:

    I have always hated Transits (apart from the old schools 80's ones. I have owned almost every model and soon sold EVERY model. Mercs and VW are by far the best....well that was until the Ford Custom came out. I have not purchased a custom so cant really comment, but from what im hearing from friends etc who have purchased it sounds like Ford have finally upped their game and not only caught up with Merc and VW but by the sounds they have overtaken them.

    About time Ford caught up. Going to have to test drive one !

    You'll love it! Ive had no regrets and get called 'the rich floorlayer' :cool:
    Ill be getting a remap soon as well as ive heard nothing but positive comments especially on mpg side of things plus it just kacks that low down torque a little.

    You gone for any extra's spacey? Or just the standard spec?
