Ford Transit Connect or Citroen Berlingo which is better? Van comparison review

That grey on the Connect looks mint 👌🏻

Nice

Dobrze.

Nice reviews

Are the 3 seats usable? for a medium size person?

I had the misfortune to drive almost exactly that Berlingo model for a year, and I don’t think I’ve ever hated a vehicle more. Uncomfortable, bouncy, absolutely no feel for what the front wheels are doing from the wheel. It was cheap and had CarPlay, but I utterly loathed the thing. Moved to a ‘19 Connect, and that is a superb van. Empty, it drives like a Ford Focus, massive fun. With all my crap loaded, it drives like a Focus with a rugby team on board. Really really nice to drive. Pricey compared to the Shitroen, mind.

F uck Ford.

What happened to your hair dude?

I've got satnav on my touch screen partner. Same year as that Citroen and same screen. No dashboard nav

And you know which van gets stolen more often 😉

I loathed the Berlingo/Partner for as long as I could remember. However, that all changed when I came across a cheap 2013 model from a friend of mine. I bought and never looked back. They're actually quite an interesting van. Converted the front passenger seat from single to twin. Job is a goodun!
Transit Connects are pricey, but probably worth the money.
My local mechanic says French are weak compared to Ford.

I've heard Citreon's have reliability issues. Would the Ford van be considered one of the most reliable of small vans?

The Berlingo is quite a bit older than the Connect. They came out in 2008 so naturally they will feel older and not be as advanced. However I would still buy one over the Ford as their mechanicals will be stronger.

Nice review, helping me make a decision. On a side note, why salesmen cannot stand still and talk is beyond me. More twists than an alpine road...

Just bought my second Partner,love them

Long live the mighty Berlingo! Still Daily my 2005 series 1 with 206,000 on the clock! Top little van and so easy to own.

Will android auto work in the Berlingo?

As owning a car repair shop I never suggest any French car (Berlingo) especially over Transit Connect.

Ford drives much better.
Berlingo is the better made, longer lasting van.
Berlingo for me

Looking for a van so scouring the Internet to see what would suit me , enjoyed your video watched a few now thanks for sharing your knowledge .

Berlingo has to have the worst paint I've ever seen on any vehicle,. The paint falls off the back doors and rusts even on well looked after vans. Better to buy a better van unless you're okay with spending money on a respray.

Ford is crap

The berlingos ok its a decent van but you can see where they've saved the money that cheap nasty plastic trim is everywhere seats and steering wheel feel very cheap but it is reliable and easy on the wallet so it's one of them 🤷🏼‍♂️

c’est quoi ce sous titrage a la con ?

The mark 3 berlingo is the one

I like the look of the connect but the driving position is awful.

I have a Ford transit connect Long wheel Base from new 1.5liter 120BHP. Had it 5years top work's van

GOOD VIDEO , I am a pro gardener what type of van should i buy or should i get a flat bed truck , i take away garden rubbish but not a huge amount just some times

I'm considering either the Berlingo or the Connect, but needs to be automatic. I've heard some are not happy with the Berlingo in this respect. Any thoughts on this would be much appreciated.

No, you haven't sold thousands of those vans.

The 2 share same engines and fiat doblo too HDI MULTIJET CDTI all same

That Ford is an automatic. is it one of those rubbish double clutch jobs or a proper torque converter automatic? I see you can get a proper auto on the 2023 Berlingo/Partner. You don't mention the Ford's reliability, is it as reliable as the Peugot/Citroen? I recently hired a Transit for a long run in Europe, it's a really good vehicle but the man running the hire company said he would not keep them past 100,000 miles as they were too h-tech to maintain properly.

After owning a Peugeot partner 2017, I can’t actually believe you have done a video against a ford connect. The Peugeot is an awful drive, hurts my back, can feel every bump on the road. Avoid these vans

The ford is considerably dearer for doing the same job

Ha ha ha ... This is the most idiotic display we have seen. Here you show off everything in the Citroen, and brag about everything in the cab, etc. But of the Ford, you don't even bother to take pictures of the beautiful dashboard and all the instruments. When it comes to Citroen, it is unsafe/dangerous to load heavy goods behind the passenger seats. It has no fuse. Only the seats.
What if you have to brake suddenly with a heavy load behind the seats? Then you can get killed. This is not legal in EU countries. The Ford Connect is a much nicer car. It even has more extras than the Citroen. Connect has much better driving characteristics - Absolutely everything is better with Connect. LISTEN to the truth folks... Just search the web and you will understand that this young man is not telling you the truth.

Electric shock in your hair ? 😮 My God

Peugoet partner is a best van.. I drive everyday for my business. In one month i go 2 time go and come back. Its almost 660km Lydenburg to Johannesburg in south africa.. best best thing you can feel when you drive….

Great vlog bud, informative no frills or Bullshit call it as it is,

Donald Trump wig.

I drive a peugeot partner which essentially is the same as the citroen berlingo & nice comfortable van packed with features but it's left me twice on the highway, goes into limp mode when it feels like, spends weeks on end at the mechanic, the radio had to be sent to France for repairs as parking sensors & other features are controlled through the can bus I presume, dpf issues, something with the ad blue but it's not ad blue that's filled from under the van, it's a 2013 lwb still running fingers crossed

No mention of wet timing belt?

Still got the gun s lad?
