To the original post,
I presume you tried the current Transit courier and not the brand new one due in the UK in March?
Ford dealer told me demonstrators don’t arrive until end of Jan and new van stock doesnt arrive until end of March, the MPV version will be ‘summer’ time for first delivery,
That was the message before Christmas as we intend to get 2 of these vans to replace ageing Fiat Fiorinos.
Interestingly Fiat still sell the Fiorino van.
As previously mentioned, the new Courier is a Volswagen, built by Volkswagen, with VW part numbers all over it. I presume you tried the current Transit courier and not the brand new one due in the UK in March?

VW don’t have a van the same size as the new Courier.It’s built in Romania on the same line as the Puma, as it has Puma underpinnings.
The new Transit Connect is shared with VW though.
So let's get this VW and Ford thing the right way round.
VW get Ford's commercial vehicles while Ford get VW's MEB electric passenger vehicle platform.
Hence, the new Transporter is the big (I can't figure out the names) Transit built by Ford in the same Turkish factory, while the new Ford Explorer is a VW ID.whatever. Not sure where it's built, but presumably in one of VW's factories configured for electric.

Apart from the new Transit Connect which is a rebadged VW. VW get Ford's commercial vehicles while Ford get VW's MEB electric passenger vehicle platform.
