[pianotech] Vehicle Recommendations

 Hi Tom and John,

I like the Transit as well.  I like the body design  Squarish vehicles have tons of usable space.  It's like it's big brother, the Mercedes-built Chrysler "Sprinter" in design, but much more practical size-wise.  My car has almost 200k miles on it and it's almost time to cough up some cash for a new vehicle...

Hi Tom,


I do remember our talking about this some time ago. It looks like a pretty good option, and I would also consider one.  I don't know if I'd want to use this as both a work vehicle and a family vehicle. I prefer a sedan for family use, but wouldn't want to have all that money tied up in two vehicles when one will do both functions.


Most of my work involves a lot of driving, so the better the MPG, the lower the operating cost. I'll drive 30-90 miles round trip depending on the area in which I'm working that day.

We kicked around this topic a few months back and I'm still intrigued by the Ford Transit. I think it will be available in either hybrid or straight electric in the future but mileage is pretty good as is. I'm all for conservancy as a life model but my service area is very compact and high gas mileage is not an imperative . I drove 32 miles on friday in my Hyundai SanteFe for three service calls . Thats two gallons tops ( under $6) 
 Anyway ,I like the look and practicality of the Ford Transit and will consider one when my present vehicle quits.
