new transits have the best thought out interior of any vehicle Ive been in, they are great
and yeah they are quick as fuck
we had a T280 100bhp, it was a rocket when it was empty

this is a 350 same as my old van that put a rod through its block just ebbeliet front and interior. Think its a 100 last van was a 90. Loving the 2 litre coke bottle holder in the dash. Ideal for my bottle of water. Great to drive although the light power steering takes some of the feel out of it when drifting off roundabouts etc. Gear stick on dash gives it a civic type r feel to drive. Shame its probably going back to our other depot.

transit heaters normally are amazing. This one on cold setting actually blows out cold air unlike my last couple. Apparantly my new van might be a sprinter. I do about 100k a year driving so kinda nice to have a decent van to drive. Transit i think are better to drive than the others. Especially size of van i need for tractor tyres etc to fit in.

most of the vans at my work are bought from northgate/maincrest rental places i believe.
ive driven a newer sprinter a while ago for a day. wasnt anywhere near as comfy as a transit. driving position in the transit i think is great. probably why they are so common on the roads for all trades.

We have a 58 Plate TDCI Transit Tipper. I was told the slot was for a fuel card but i suppose it may just be a general card holder. Seem good vans,think ours is the 90bhp.

I want a fuel card slot, keep loosing mine  Not spotted one of these in the Ford Connect, will have to take a good look. There's no where to put my phone which is annoying as fuck.
Had a Sprinter last weekend for a couple of days. Not the best on fuel but was fairly comfortable on the 150 miles we did. We needed something large i could drive on a standard license.

You can pull a fuse out, will have to find out which one.

Mine is fully loaded all day long But you can still get the arse out in it I keep my fuel card in the slot. They are much more comfy than the older ones. Mine is getting a new gearbox fitted at the moment I've had a fair few things break on it tho
