Ford Transit Custom 1.Generation Kastenwagen 340 L2H1 2.0 TDCi - Town car

Is a Ford Transit Custom also suitable for drivers? {frequent on the road in downtown? Here it above all depends on the size of the car, but also on comfort features such as parking assistance and connectivity.

With a length of 5340 mm and a width of 2272 mm, it is increasingly difficult to find parking spaces in German cities. Tight turns in particular are becoming a challenge. Even parking assistants are only of limited help. The turning circle of 12.2 meters is okay considering the dimensions, but that doesn't help much in the city - you'll have a hard time with this colossus there. If you are on the road a lot, you should definitely order a 360-degree camera.

The vehicle has electronics and assistants that make parking automatic, i.e. self-steering, if desired. Parking sensors are installed in the front and rear, and also on the sides. A rear-view camera is installed, which automatically displays the image in the infotainment system when reversing.

Rating: The dimensions of the Ford Transit Custom can make it a real problem when maneuvering space is at a premium. Parking sensors, parking assistance like self-steering systems and at least a rearview camera are all on board with this vehicle and help in tricky situations. If you move around a lot in the city and have to rely on public parking spaces, you won't do yourself any favors with this car.
