John davis has been on the show for a long time and has a great reputaion

Our postal trucks are Ford Conects, they only have 75 hp diesel, but it's more than adequate. It is by far the best small van's out there, way better than the crappy french vans, but I haven't tried the new VW Caddy's yet.

@seroyer2 atleast more then a 4 speed

I think it is a gimmick. The crash tests are good because the vehicle has little weight behind the front floorpan. Ford never crash tests their pickups with a full load of gravel in the bed.

I'm afraid of the future now, and will trade in my submarine for a minivan.

Love the van, hate the rust.....galvanising???

2/3 british winters and the rust scabs take hold, 5 years and extensive bodywork required.

Sort the rust issues and i might buy one next time, until then i'll stick to the galvanised French/ Italian...

@johnnyo032003 Uhm.. ok..

[johnnyo032003]

@johnnyo032003 And 300hp instead of the pathetic 150 in the car as is.

[johnnyo032003]

The worst part is the car would probably get the same gas mileage with the Focus RS engine the newer Volvo wagons get around 25-27mpg these things only get like 20-22 mpg stock and I'm sure it would be about the same with the Volvo/Focus RS engine swapped in.

[johnnyo032003]

In Europe there are guys that swap the Focus RS engine into these (the engine is a 300hp Volvo inline 5)

Yeah that cake isn't secured nearly well enough.
