Very nice.

not wanting to 'rubbish' the lower models but you mention 185ps. I thought it was only the sport model that had the 185?
again ref the 230-240v outlet I paid extra for that - although only £60.

the orange looks very nice. hopefully you saw it as a pleasant surprise?

FYI - I've done over 10k now and the average from new is 50mpg.

Hi mate no my last one was a swb limited dciv 185ps. It's a option but I think rare. Both of mine where bought pre reg so I never got into the real nit grity with specs just roughly said what I was looking for.

The brother finally picked up his Custom Trail yesterday, arrived on time. Other owners ordered before him and are still waiting.

nice.
and his first impressions?

I've done circa 12k miles in mine now and I'm well pleased with it;
the colour (silver),
the sport spec,
L2 vs the shorter L1,
mpg at 50mpg,
comfort......but that said I wish it was an inch wider - slept it it the other day and the back seat could do with being a fraction longer/wider.

So far loving it, he had a Transit Sport for the last 10 years, which was worked hard but never let him down, now sold to his friend who’s a Transit fanatic. Currently waiting on the racking from sortimo to arrive before it gets put to work.

Must admit I’d be tempted by an Active DCiV myself. 23.5MY 90 D250 X-Dynamic SE, Pangea Green

Is it me or does that give me the vibe of the mk1 with the large grill?
Also my mate bought a Mk7 Ford Transit Tourneo a few months ago, he seems to like it. I said best motor for a large family. He had a Picasso, which they started to have some trouble with. They are waiting for that to run out of MOT and i think that will end up becoming a tin of beans. Defender TD5 90 ---/--- Peugeot 306 HDI hatch back

I like the new transit front, the back is reasonable but don’t like the side profile quite as much. A bit too “aero” profiled but still overall like it.
Am I right in thinking the front is more the USA spec style? Diesels Lives Matter. ⛽️🛢️👨‍🔧🧰⚙️

I know, I should have taken a photo from the other side without the shrubs. Its no coincidence that I didn't become a professional photographer. Embarassed

I've been practicing the light right foot technique and managed to average almost 53 mpg on the last tank AND got 753 miles out of the tank.
disappointingly it cost £131.35 to fill up @ £2.039 / ltr.
managed to get 64.42 ltrs into the 65 ltr tank on the first click.....so I guess the computer was right in saying there wasn't very much fuel left Mr. Green
Thumbs Up

being green can cost nothing to implement - just needs a desire. Very Happy
