we had one as a pool van at my dealershio foir a while,,,,,, fucking perfect van tbh, much better than a escort van, there nippy, do 105 in a resonable amount of time but they get to 80 in MUCH better time than the transit
i was really pissed when they sold it as when ever we never got a over ngithdelivery from daggenham i would use the thing to get me down the a12, up the a13 and to dagenham, load up and get back within 45mins, it just corners soo fucking well,,,,,,,,, its just like a car tbh
main thing i hated though was the fucking bumper end caps kept comming off,,,,,,,,, apart from that i LOVE it beter than my 110 new transit ive been given,,,,,,, mine wa a high top too
test drive one and then yu will realise,,,,, the brakes are very goo too
shame the tyres never lasted 10k miles but it DID get abused ALOT by me
as for fuel economy,,,,,,,,,,,, i cant comment as i cant get fuel economy out of any car,,,,,, think i done 300 miles to a tank,,,,,,,, i get 380 to 400 in the new transit,,,,,,,, thats ment to give 500 miles too but then i alo get 13mph from my bmw
id deffo get one as a work van, i wanted to use it on track one day but they wouldnt allow me
