REVIEW: Ford Transit - 'Panel Van of the Year', 'second most popular' after Quantum

Pippa Hudson speaks to Ernest Page from changecars.co.za and the presenter for "All Things Motoring" on Ignition TV.

The Ford Transit is a family of light commercial vehicles used primarily as a cargo van.

The van retails for R570,500 to R608,200 and has just landed in South Africa after being built and shipped from Turkey. 

Page says the Ford Transit has won the 'Panel Van of the Year' award in the United Kingdom, has mileage for long travels and is the 'second most popular' van after the Toyota Quantum in South Africa.

Ford Transit stand-out features include:

• 100 kW two-liter engine
• Electronic dash
• Fuel consumption rated at 8.2 liters per 100
• Comfort for long-distance driving
• Can carry heavy loads 

Page highly recommends this one.

"For those people looking for a panel van, definitely check this one out."
