There are a list of things that the sport has over the limited as standard.
Not just the body kit
18 inch alloy wheels
Part Leather
Reverse camera
Lane keeping assist
High end instrument cluster.
As always it is all dependant on what the individual wants out of a vehicle.
For me I would always go for the sport look as just find as a van it's better looking.
Not fussed about the stripes. Think they work well on some colours and not others.

We have a facelift Sport. We used to have a Limited. Both bought new. Only reason we had the latter was we couldn't afford a Sport at that time. Soon as we could we bought a Sport. Depends what you can afford/justify I suppose.

That's the thing though, as I'll likely put it through my company the few extra k aren't too much of an issue and if they were equal cost I'd also get a Sport, but for the wheels, part leather, camera, lane assist etc I'm having an inner monologue/debate as to whether it's value for money or not.

Fair point. The reversing camera is great but...…………! Anyway, we specced the Sport with auto box, blind spot information system, adaptive cruise control, cross traffic alert, single tailgate, led load lighting etc. Wouldn't have added all that to a Limited. That's just us though. Stunning looking van in orange glow. We have genuine 20" M Sport black OZ alloys which will go on after the winter.

You could go for the Ghia version,I think they only made the one up to now :idea: viewtopic.php?f=11&t=147785&hilit=transit+ghia
On the sixth day God created a Sprinter on the seventh he gave it away and bought a TRANSIT

Cracker, really unique in Ghia trim I would imagine lol. We only use our non Ghia Custom privately - our 2016 Limited was honestly as good as the day it left the factory - totally unmarked 2 years old with 20K miles and VAT paid. Sold it privately to help finance the new facelift Sport which is also used privately, mainly to go to motocross meetings.

I'll post a photo once stick on the 20s. Leather seats will be unmarked as we had covers fitted at the dealership. Only dislike at the moment is Ford has done away with the hinged lid on the cubby box in front of the steering wheel - was a good place to keep sat nav etc out of sight when not used. Start saving lol

It's all the more strange because the new Tourneo Custom has a hinged cover. In fact, the whole top of the dash is different.

If the brochure is to be believed.

I'm still waiting to see if anyone fits a new torneo dash into a transit.
If it works I will do the same.
Not messing mine up trying though....
