Ford Tourneo Courier 2019 EcoBoost Review & Road Test

[@PanicBeach]

I have owned a Ford Tourneo Courier with Ecoboost petrol engine for 2 years. Plenty of space for a family of 4 and lots of fun to drive! Also - very easy to park.

[@PlanetautoUK]

Yes, roomy, full of practicality and perfect for a family, thank you PanicBeach.

[@rogenastyles9625]

What it like over pot holes. My fiesta takes a hard donk on pot hole roads so I was looking for something that handled them a bit better.

Great Video Review. One of the best youtube channels for reviewing the latest new cars

[@PlanetautoUK]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it.

[@glennshrieves7234]

Just ordered myself a black 1.5 tdci courier titanium myself with matching oem painted black alloys ,I was going to buy a van but going down this route made perfect sense. With the darker factory glass tint,and probably an extra inner tint I will put on it should look really great and no different to the black van I was originally going to buy.. happy days.. nice review guys..

[@PlanetautoUK]

Thanks Glenn - glad you liked the review! When do you take delivery?

[@glennshrieves7234]

@@PlanetautoUK been told it may take a couple of months, but im happy to wait

[@PlanetautoUK]

Yes everything is being delayed currently, unfortunately it’s the times we live in.

[@mattsbeamer]

Another great review. It’s funny how you make the vehicle look tiny from the inside but massive on the inside. It’s like a thesis. The connector on the sliding door, reminds me of the connector on the mk3 fiesta thou :)

[@PlanetautoUK]

Thank you, it really is a Tardis, yes Michael noticed a few likenesses to his Fiesta too.

[@mattsbeamer]

Planet Auto :D I look forward to your next review.

[@PlanetautoUK]

That will be the MG ZS Auto on Friday, thank you.

[@mattsbeamer]

Oh cool, MG videos seem to do well on your channel

[@PlanetautoUK]

They do, we even mention the eZS.

[@jchalmes]

Great review!

[@PlanetautoUK]

Thank you

[@jamesfouch5584]

I have a 14 plate tourneo connect from new best car I've ever owned loads of loading positions and being a diesel very economical.

[@PlanetautoUK]

It’s a great car 👍

[@1093HUGO]

Hi James, how much milage can you do with your version?

[@Astrolavista]

Hi guys, have you thought about levelling your audio so it doesn't suddenly jump up 20db when the music kicks in.

[@PlanetautoUK]

Hi, yes since the earlier reviews the music is now reduced to around -11.5 dB , thank you *ben

[@jesserobertsvideos4741]

Great car lots of space in them

[@PlanetautoUK]

Yes isn’t there, it’s very deceptive from the outside, thank you

[@jesserobertsvideos4741]

@@PlanetautoUK i agree

[@musicman5532]

I had a 1.5tdci version. Nothing but trouble. Also the horn was weedy and the headlights not very good. I was also surprised how thin the metal on the body was. Tailgate is quite large.

[@PlanetautoUK]

It’s interesting to hear these different accounts, on some models it’s quite simply the luck of the draw, sadly Music M

[@musicman5532]

@@PlanetautoUK Many thanks for your reply.. In the end the dealership had to buy it back. I have owned many ford models over the years and most have been very good cars. Something very a miss with the dpf on this one as it kept flagging up drive to clean . It was so frequent ( despite not doing short journeys) it then flagged up oil change after only 3 thousand miles and then powertrain fault..

[@PlanetautoUK]

Sorry to hear that

[@channelredeye91]

Great review guys, just seen some great savings on these online. Compared to prices when you reviewed it, 11.5k basic or 13k fully loaded with metallic paint, comfort pack, privacy glass roof rails and 6" sync 3 navigation pack all for around £13k plus currently 0% interest from Ford - i wonder if they are planning a new model? Anyeay Looks like a good second car option.

[@PlanetautoUK]

Thank you, that’s a great price, looks like we’ll have to wait and see

[@hpp337c]

I have just ordered brand new 19 plate one should arive end of June.

[@PlanetautoUK]

That’s good to hear. 👍 *Annabelle

[@Addixxtion]

Good review guys, but I must comment on your sound levels unfortunately. The speech is ok, but the music is deafening! I have to turn down the volume when it comes on then turn it up again when you start talking. To the car, I came here as I'm a Motability customer and I'm looking for something spacious but more importantly comfortable. My current car a Seat Leon FR is great, however, it's low seating position makes it difficult at times to get in and out, also the suspension is fairly stiff being the FR model so I'm looking more for comfort than style this time. Thank you for the review, I'm not sure I'm sold on this over an SUV/Crossover at the moment.

[@PlanetautoUK]

Thank you, we’ve reduced the music transitions by around 10db, ah ok yes the crossover hadn’t won everyone over, however it does make mobility challenges easier. *ben

[@stanleyleopard6799]

Another very thorough video lads, thanks. Puzzled to know who would buy this rather than an SUV but I guess there must be a market for it? The height of the vehicle is crazy, and i don't think it counts as a van for tax purposes because of the passenger windows. I like the rear picnic tables though (shades of the Allegro Vanden Plas!)

[@6ettinold]

Delayed response, but I would take one over an SUV. Well, a Citroen Berlingo, anyway. The boot space is far greater than a SUV. The rear seats fold flat in a Berlingo, giving a vast 1700 litres, in a vehicle with the same dimensions of many small to mid sized SUV. We have looked at things like the Seat Arona, but are seriously looking at a new Berlingo btw.

[@PlanetautoUK]

We’ve driven both, and they are both very practical - and impressive! It all boils down to what you like...👍

[@jblondon1327]

The main drawback is no pull down windows in the back. Pop out window not good enough!

[@PlanetautoUK]

We’ll see more of this likely with aircon, I like pop out windows their quirky *ben

[@PanicBeach]

With 2 young kids on the back seat, I don't have to worry about them sticking their hands (or heads) out of the window. On sunny days we use the AC.

[@PlanetautoUK]

Good point, thank you PanicBeach

[@rogenastyles9625]

This puts me off. They would be better if they opened the other way so air flow can come into the car. My aim for looking at this vehicle is for the boot space for dogs. Being a fiesta owner at present, there are no back windows. No reviews actually show how much these open so it may not get enough fresh air into the boot on hot days.

[@PlanetautoUK]

@rogenastyles9625 now that makes sense for dogs, it’ll leg air in but not excessive amounts 🐶

[@ianhamer4494]

A lot of repeating on spec guy's one is nice, two OK but three times no.

[@PlanetautoUK]

We’ve found very few people watch the full video, either exterior, driving etc meaning people like to know if they tune into that section, thank you *ben

[@juliedovey2748]

Noise levels, quiet voices then massively loud music, simply stupid.

[@PlanetautoUK]

Anything about the vehicle? This is the setup and format we’ve used for nearly 3 years, same mics, levels and transition format, this is the first comment we’ve seen of this nature, maybe it’s at your end. *ben

[@Astrolavista]

@@PlanetautoUKHis comment is rude but it's very true! Can't believe you've not had this mentioned before if this is your usual format.

[@PlanetautoUK]

No, we’ve refined like I mentioned though, new Rode mic and levels lowered, whilst editing it isn’t that noticeable in Audition. *ben
