Ford Transit Custom Sport –  five seat LWB driven for 2025.

Is the Ford Transit van good for a family

Transit Custom Sport – Regular listener will know that we have moved recently and that brings a lot of issues. One of those are how do you move all those boxes that seem to appear all the time.

It’s like you think you have done everything and yet there are another 20 boxes.

Well enter the Ford Transit Custom Sport. This van comes in a choice of seating arrangements; This time we had the long wheelbase five seat version.

Surprisingly practical and comfortable the Transit allowed us to swallow huge loads of boxes and gear as well as people.

It was put to good use over the two weeks we had it.

Up front there are five individual seats, all comfortable, and with plenty of room for most people. The front outer two seats are heated, which was fantastic for my aching back.

With features more like what you expect from a SUV, the Transit is well equipped for a family of five.

On top of that add the cavernous cargo area and you start to question choices of buying a SUV.

One minor issue is that you cant access the front of the cargo area from the side, so someone has to step in to retrieve luggage etc. It provided comical relief to the family seeing my 190cm tall dad doubled up inside the cargo area.

The Transit is easy to drive, with reasonable performance and economy.
