The Ford Tourneo Custom is a very pleasant people-carrier. The engine has plenty of punch when accelerating, both from a standstill and at speed. The multimedia system works fine. It's a pity the battery capacity isn't used intelligently. It's also a shame the car is limited to 157 km/h — disappointing that Ford's engineering seems of lesser quality so that this low limiter is necessary. The layout is practical and you can easily change the configuration and remove seats. The front seats are perfect; the other seats have a somewhat short cushion. I have the short version, which is just over 5 metres long. With this short model you can get around town easily. My average consumption is about 1:16.

Mercedes B Class

The Mercedes B-Class is a smart, grown-up compact people carrier that dresses everyday practicality in a near‑premium polish, perfect for buyers who want comfort and a classy badge without the theatrics. It won’t set your pulse racing on a back road, but it will make school runs, commutes and grocery hauls feel pleasantly civilized — a reliable, slightly posh companion for real life.

My wife and I have been driving a Mercedes W247 200d for seven years now, with 93,000 km on the clock. The car is very comfortable even on long trips and economical. At the last service the pads of the electric parking brake were replaced; otherwise no repairs. We love this car.
