Ford Transit Custom Sport Test Drive Review
As the Ford Transit celebrates its 50th birthday this year, Commercial Vehicle Insight takes the newest transit, the 2015 Custom Sport model out for a test drive with Transit expert Tony Feldon, to find out some of the secret’s of the van’s success.
Since the first vehicle left the production line in Langley, England, on August 9, 1965, almost 8 million Transit and Transit Custom models have been built, and the Transit has grown from a single model to an entire family of Transit vans.
Lined up end-to-end, 50 years of Transits would circle the globe, and on average a new Transit has been bought every 180 seconds during its lifetime.
The latest expanded Transit line-up features four all-new models - Transit, Transit Custom, Transit Connect and Transit Courier.
Transit has also introduced a list of technology innovations to help improve performance, comfort and safety; from features like side-loading doors, radial ply tyres and halogen headlights, to direct injection diesel engines, high security locks and standard anti-lock brakes. The latest Transit models have added state-of-the-art technologies like Adaptive Cruise Control and Lane Keeping Aid.
Commenting on the 2015 Custom Sport, CVI editor Stephen Mansell says: "The Transit Custom Sport drives exceptionally well and it’s got some neat little features from a tradesperson’s perspective such as a folding hatch in the bulkhead which enables long loads of up to 3m to be carried without a roof rack and a hidden compartment in the passenger seat for valuables ."
Transit expert Tony Feldon adds: "The Transit Custom drives like a car but has the purpose of a van which can be very difficult to get across unless you actually experience it."
What to watch for: “See the Transit Custom Sport being taken through its paces on a dual carriageway and witness the model's impressive low down torque."

    The new daily 2020 came from the factory with defects, 8 times in service, almost a month spent in repairs, they don't know much about repairs, simple things fix weeks, standard in the Iveco brand or customer discrimination, questionable quality of the vehicle and service. Within 20 years i have not encountered such a bad service, the choice of Iveco was a bad choice. Begin the purchase with Northern commercials in Irlam,after 7 times in service (Irlam)i inform head office in Turin,finally repairs was finish in brighouse,but simple repair take a week and vechicle wasnt finish (back in another 2 days).Fear. Now (after 9 months)the vechicle after 12 visit (one months of repair without courtesy vechicle),electric hand brake is still not fixed,sat nav cannot be update (maps 2018),cruise control reach only to 88km/h (they said is normal???),some few issues from factory been solved (2 from 6). Currently the case is brought to court,my business has big losses. Iveco brand should review contract/franchise with *Northern Commercials*,it is an absolute scandal to deliver such a defective product to carry out a transport business,service level is *nursery*,office?*little kids*. IVECO should have counted on the commercial market at the top, but it took a big step backwards.

    That dude flooring it in 6th at 60 mph will have put a lot of strain on the gearbox. I guess he won't be the poor sod paying for the repair in a few years time, that will be passed onto the customer 😐

    Thank god they're getting rid of the Agile gearbox. such an awful experience. Shame it took Iveco so long when the Sprinter and Crafter which are vans with popular automatic gearboxes in the same class have had wonderful gearboxes with slick gear changes for years. The agile box was frankly a complete failure of a gearbox in my opinion. Want to try this new box for sure when we have a new Iveco roll in.
