We swapped our Medium Wheel Base, Medium Height Transit T350 for a Mercedes Sprinter Hi-Top, and the Sprinter's a better vehicle to drive although I suspect it might not be as good at towing as the Transit.

Who needs to get a taxi when you know someone who has a Tranny with deck chairs in the back  Roundabouts become a sport

Nah I wouldnt say they are better than an Iveco, I prefer the Sprinters too, used all 3 on a regular basis and the Iveco was brilliant, LWB Jumbo was a rocket

I used to load the ships in Southampton with new cars being sent abroad and unload the new cars coming into the UK.
One night I drove 48 Transits, 3 miles each from the compund to the ship, then had to reverse them with a banksman onboard. Out of all the cars I got to drive, which was pretty much everything that is shifted by sea-freight - The transits were the easiest to drive, considering driving onboard ships isn't the easiest thing to do, especially when your doing it backwards with no lights!

I drive an Astra Van for work, and when it was away getting repaired after hitting a badger i had a Transit Connect on hire. Awful van, was slow as hell, wallowed round corners and used so much diesel. The seat went back about an inch so had no leg room either. For what i need a van for, you cant beat an Astra Van.
Drove a Movano crew bus for a few months too, huge thing Found that alot better than the Transit crew bus i had before that.

Old ones are crap now. The new 56plate onwards one are awesome, they handle like a car!
Drive them all the time at work.
