Ford Transit 2009

1 star review

Hi all. Don’t buy one of these vans. They have just about sent me bankrupt. The back bone of this country, what a joke. It’s had: 2 fuel pumps, 3 sets of injectors and the duel mass is the worst idea ever. Not to mention the rust that’s coming through. Money, money, money that’s what Ford want from you and they’ll get plenty out of you. Buy a smiley Transit, not the fastest but they keep going. If you need something more stylish and need more power my best advice to you is don’t use Ford.

Ford Transit 115ps limited 2009

5 star review

This van is a joy. I previously owned a vw and in my mind it doesn’t even compare. I have the limited 115ps, it has all the toys, not even most prestige cars have heated seats, a/c, auto lights/wipers,bluetooth, voice control and parking sensors. The driving position is great and it pulls very well, due to its sixth gear it will sit at 70 to 80 mph on the motorway very comfortably. Its very economical for a large van and if driven right I can get 43mpg on my commutes (A roads and motorways), although I’ve found if you do start taking it much over 70 mph it will become just that little bit more thirstier. The rear load space gets the 8x4 sheets in easily and it will carry a ton of sand with no problems, what more can you say? The only problem to date was a software upgrade needed for the stereo/bluetooth system, which was resolved under warranty.

I’ve got 09 plate Transit and having problems with the booster hose pipe. First the front pipe came off (blew off) and then 3 days later the back pipe blew off; it’s held on by one jubilee clip that’s on solid but with the power that’s going through it, it keeps blowing off. Two other things about it are it’s noisey and c**p on fuel.

Ford Transit 260 SW 2009

3 star review

I have only had this vehicle for 6 weeks and I can’t believe how unrefined it is compared to my previous vehicle: a Vivaro. It’s noisy, slow and terrible on fuel. I used to drive quite hard and got approx 38-42 mpg; I now don’t go over 70 and am lucky to get 32-35 mpg if I try and stick to 50-60. Ford need to look at their competitors and learn that this van needs another gear to bring the revs down on a long run.
