Hi am thinking about a Transit Sport, either that or a VW transporter 130 or 174.
The transit looks nice, however how does it compare to a VW?
I heard that the tyres are a problem, and that they have a rust problem....is this true.
What about comments from any sport owners.
Many Thanks

well you've come to the right place for a unbiased opinion 
tyres are a problem - or at least the standard tyres it comes with
my advice to anyone with a sportvan would be fit a different brand tyre

Funny, yes I am sure you all LOVE the Transit.
However I need a reliable Van that will last me for 6 years or more.
Is the power enough only 146 BHP
