The problem is the fact it's going to be wider than the MK7 :!: :shock: :(
I have enough trouble with the Whitton Ave and width restrictions as it is :!: :twisted:

A 3 year unlimited mileage warranty wouldn't go amiss either

Not here in the "Land of the Free"

If you have a Sprinter here it can be very hard to find service.

Ford dealers are everywhere.

With all the PR for this vehicle, it is annoying that it will be a year until we can get one.

Well it's official, we will be getting an auto on the fwd Transit and Transit Custom.

It's still not clear if we're getting a torque converter conventional 6speed automatic, a "DSG" (auto shifting manual) twin clutch "powershift"? Or possibly a hybrid of the two?

Until now, I thought we were getting a twin clutch (next gear already engaged) transmission. However, this article from Parkers Guide is suggesting otherwise.

That's a shame, the twin clutch in the Connect is very good. I'd love one in a Custom.
