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.

I spent a week in the latest Ford Transit Custom Sport. This is the short wheelbase version with the cool bonnet stripes.

It’s hard to make delivery vans look sleek, but the Transit is reasonably stylish.

Inside the driver’s seat has electronic adjustment and a much appreciated additional lumbar support.

I like the odd shape of the steering wheel. There are the usual controls on the spokes, and the wheel doesn’t impede visibility of the driver’s instruments.

The passenger seats are fixed but the middle seat does have a flat fold down table for clipboards etc.

There are some practical design features such as

• a wireless charging tray
• Wireless smart phone connectivity,
• large 13 inch central touch screen
• full headboard
• heated front outer seats
• 180 degree opening rear barn doors.
• 0M load length with 6 tie down points
• A heap of active and passive safety features.

Powered  by a 2.0L turbo diesel engine with 125 kW of power and 390 Nm of torque. This drives the front wheels through an 8 Sp AT

This provides reasonable performance and economy. It’s zippy to drive and apart from the commercial rear suspension, its ride and handling is great for a van.

Priced from around $60,000 plus the usual costs it’s a practical and comfortable choice for workers.
