Postby kingacx » Wed Feb 26, 2014 9:22 am

So then guys,I've currently got a Transit Connect,but wanting bigger,

Looking at a SWB 2.2 85

Are they only 5 speed?
How slow are they?
How quiet are they on the motorway?

Thanks lads

Yes 5 speed

Will do 100 down a hill, but will sit at 80 no problem

Quieter than a mk6

The 85 is the most reliable of the MK7 ;)

It also remaps well.

Sounds better than the connect,very loud an doesn't even like 70

Just scared as 85 seems very low!

Are the MK7's much better than the 6?
