MODELS TESTED/PUBLISHED: 35T 125 DURASHIFT 2 Sept 2004 350 7 DC.120 November 2003 SILVERBLUE 35 115 6 Oct 2005 The UK's best selling van took a substantial leap forward in 2006 with changes to the new generation Transit targeting areas which aid on-the-road efficiency and an announcement that it MI get ESP (electronic stability control) as standard. Handling and loadbox functionality are top class, The Transit is a willing worker, craving flexible at all speeds. The dash-mounted gearshift is slick and contributes to decent performance \A,Tith good gear match from the five-speed unit.
In-cab noise levels are adequate and the level of interior appointment is enough to ensure it does not lose out to the competition.
Significant improvements have been made to the interior storage options, but recent tests by sister magazine Truck & Driverindicate that it falls behind the Mercedes Sprinter on that score.
