Daft things on the Transit Custom
Discussion
I have been given the use of the above vehicle for 6 months and despite it being top of the range with heated seats etc, already things on it are driving me mad, namely:-
first gear is woefully bad, its almost like they have put a 2nd gear cog in by mistake
The hill start is useless, it rolls back the second you move the clutch a mm, well before the biting point.
The voice control is useless, never got anything right yet, I said "call voicemail" and it started ringing the only person in my phone book I was trying to avoid.
The horn sounds if you try to lock it with a door open, which is great if you are stupid but when you are working nights in a residential area and every time you reach in the back with the keys in your pocket the lock button invariably presses against something its no so great.
The windows wont go up if the key is removed from the ignition but the radio doesn't shut up until the door is open, WTF. You try to compose yourself after a long journey and remember to collect everything like your phone and Cliff Richard is blasting away whilst you are trying to get out.
So the question is, what were Ford thinking?
