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.

After many new Volvos — including a V70 and an XC90 — I've now bought a lightly used XC40 from the dealer. In every respect it was the best choice.
