Ford Tourneo Connect (2013 - 2022) 1.5 TDCi (120bhp) Titanium 5d Owner Review

This model must be Fords [expletive] child that they try to hide because they are difficult to locate and the dealers seem to know absolutely nothing about them. We needed space because we have two large dogs and do a lot of travelling, We had a Skoda Roomster which despite being very versatile was not quite big enough and having been badly let down by VW over a number of issues, the most recent being the emissions scandal, I wouldn't now consider anything from the VW stable; they definitely don't deserve their "quality" image. I thought this Ford looks interesting but found it difficult to find one. I persevered and tracked one down and so far I am chuffed to bits. Ultra comfortable, handles better than expected; the 1.5 120 diesel is a dream with enough power considering this is a big old bus and it is mated to a superb 6 speed box. For us oldies the access is great and the big revelation is the mpg. Virtually as good as the Roomster despite being much bigger. So far I love it and my only criticism would be of Ford itself. Poor dealer knowledge of the model; absolutely dire user manual and despite this being a top of the range, the cheapskates do not give it underbody sealant.! If you need space, its brilliant.
