Very nice. Curious: what's the grey plastic box/compartment on the left of the boot area in this photo?

I hope they've fixed it so the rear seats come out now, only in my tourneo that grey box stops you getting the seat out unless your the hulk

the seats are sh1t, not comfy at all.
less room (width) too lay down.
basicly can not lay flat at all, padding on them is piss-thin, towing eye under bonnet comes loose and ends up in the crank pully and belt.
fuel saving mode is sh*t as it keeps coming on each time i switch off IGN, (even if go in too menu to turn off)
front distance sensor are a p1ss-off.
and the list gets bigger. :roll:

Technically it is a mk8 really, just because its called a custom doesn't mean it can't be classified with the other vans

People keep saying its not the mk8, and I personally think its the Ford Transporter T6, certainly a nice looking van, bit too euro global for me, and certainly not "transit" looking enough.

The transit I always thought of as a lorry that was scaled down to van size, and the Trafic ect as cars that were scaled up to van size. This new custom is just one of the euro vans we keep seeing, may as well be a Citroen :?

Said that the first time I saw it, think they tried to disguise the T6 shape.
