Errrr its got one of those horrible blue badges on the grille lol.
Just kidding those new transits are supposed to be good.
The new vw t6 is out soon that's the one I'd have if I had the money to upgrade my t5
LoL
Well I did do some researching.
I wanted a VW transporter but the regular ones are to small with the payload I want and high liner doesn't look very nice at all and payload is not enough . So it would be a crafter and I have found a lot of bad press about the VW crafter.
Reason is because it's a large van yet they are still using the VW cars engines in it. So it drinks oil because it's always being pushed hard and doesn't like a lot of stop starting and hasn't got enough power.
A lot of people had a sprinter bought te VW crafter and regret it and bought a sprinter again.
So I was looking at sprinters but I found them very expensive for what you get and to be honest I don't do that many miles so the warranty Merc provide would be lost on me.
Then cost in order of most expensive first out of the three vans I was looking at.
Merc Sprinter is most expensive but lacks a modern cabin area
VW crafter second
Ford custom cheapest of the three.
I thought the custome long wheel base high roof was perfect size for me not to big but big enough. The sprinter and crafter I thought were a little to big or they just seem bigger.
Also if you go on VW website they let you compare their van with other van brands. The custome compares well with the VW. Both have their ups and downs. It says I'll get 5% more with a VW when selling which would be £2000 more than the ford but then it says I'll save £700 a year on fuel with the ford so after 3 years I'll have saved £2100 on fuel.
I know ford are okay so after long and hard thinking on what to do I went with the ford custom. Also I personally think the custom is a very sexy looking van. The picture doesn't do it justice.
