Ford Transit frightens him driver

To say that I otoropel saw the Ford Transit, which I had to ride all weekend and a couple of days, then do not say anything. Until this time the biggest car, which I had to manage was Volkswagen Multivan.

In Transit, at first glance, these two vlezet. The point is that in front of me was a car built for the long base, so even with a high roof.
The appearance of the car, designed for commercial use, to describe the meaning of no. Hardly anyone chooses a car to transport that cargo that a large number of people relying on the design. Although from the way the staff affectionately called Ford Transit " 'our baby', it is possible to draw some conclusions.
Indeed, despite the fact that the size of a car striking, he looks the most that either there is friendly. Perhaps, some look so young any non-corrosive, herbivorous dinosaurs that if someone could hurt, then solely due to their negligence and giant sizes.
The first thing that struck a parked vehicle, is that it can stand up to full height. The high roof allows people in the passenger compartment, to go hither and thither, not prigibaya head. In general, they can even dance or salochki play, good enough place. This, incidentally, along with the constant jokes about the fact that we should not forget to transfer money to bus driver, a man leading a car in a couple of hours after the beginning of the trip starts to irritate.
Inside really feel like in the bus. Directly above the dashboard is a mini-glove, probably for money, cigarettes and mobile phone, the passenger also has a top box for any bullshit, and a standard glove box. By the way, the phone is very convenient to put in the ashtray, it is ideally suited to the role holder: situated at a convenient height and does not give aid vyvalitsya with the most abrupt maneuvers. Another excuse to abandon the pernicious habit. Behind are two rows of seats and huge luggage space, in which we lay down to eat and drink for 40 people for three days (representing the volume of?). This is despite the fact that the car quite comfortably fit eight people.
Bus driver should be strong, Do not happen that way. Apparently, therefore, inflate lumbar support with a rubber pear, which pumped the air. Nice analog carpal espandera. The same, incidentally, is installed on the front seat passenger.
Other bonuses for a man, accepting for the management of the whopper, no.
While there, I lied. Advantages of the Ford Transit driver is there, and yet which ones. He could, for example, plyunut on the roof of almost any car, what is it nasty. Or, to hlesche, particularly small-scale road-users can simply move across, and without much discomfort to everyone who sits inside.
On our machine, incidentally, was the increase in the fuel tank. It placed much as 103 liters of Solar, which is powered diesel engine volume of 2.4 liters and output of 140 hp with maximum torque 375 Nm, which is achieved at 2000 rpm. Given the very modest appetite for cars (about 10-11 liters per 100 km with a rather frisky, so far as possible, ride), then the existence of refills remember very rare.
Surprisingly, this Ford Transit is equipped with a full drive. Fully mechanical AWD system automatically provides unstepping transfer torque to the front wheels when driving on slippery surfaces when required.
It is worth noting that full-drive giant weighing 3500 kg envelops its passengers totally unexpected comfort. Well, everyone except the driver. Those chosen for himself back rows can, as already mentioned, dance, lie down, sit, and in doing so regardless of road surface, they can (despite the driver), quietly popivat beer in comfort. However, in case they are allergic to air conditioning, rear doors are fitted with sliding windows. For their convenience, opening rear doors are fitted with heated glass, so you can look what's happening behind. Yes, and a rear step bumper provides easier handling car.
In terms of technical equipment of Transit is not much inferior to the usual urban sedans. Here and sensors rain and light, brightness appliances, cruise control, in general, do not feel deprived itself.
The biggest impression of the ride - this is a great turning radius must choose, otherwise you will cling to the rear wheels, or curb that quite badly parked cars. But in general, to go on such a large car might like. It is nice, jeez, look at all the top down. Let the first and the fear of driving.
