Volkswagen Transporter T6.1 Sportline review | This or Transit Custom?

[@hugebartlett1884]

It's a van for working in,not living. How much comfort do you need, especially as you have to pay extra for anything added? Bumps and rattles,in a vehicle full of tools and equipment? Well,I never!

Would be interested to see the eight seater version in Sportline trim. The cabin in that one does look very basic for a Sportline, as I’m sure they previously had upgraded seats. Recently looked at some T6 at a dealer and noticed they have hardboard trim on inside of doors, with the painted door tops showing. Interior quality seems to have gone backwards from the previous T5, while prices have gone up. Still think you can’t beat a Transporter, as most people personalise them anyway.

Great review. Big money for what is a van. . Lovely vehicle though.

Mark, as always brilliant and 'bang on'! So many friends have a T6 Transporter. And yes, as you know big VW fan, However.... a lot of money for a VW Van! More lifestyle and statement than a work 'horse'. The Transit Custom with M Motion/Sport kit is a far more sensible choice. And does look just as cool. Thanks again. Good one. More vans on the channel.

Looks like standard vw with an ABT kit and wheels , disappointing there no leather seats or 4 motion for that money

Seats would be cool alright.

It’s not A.B.T, it’s a German family name and is pronounced as it’s spelt. ABT.

Click bait. Another fake Sportline

[@davem4131]

It is a fake one but there’s not much difference apart from the digi dash which you can retrofit. I would argue the Leighton Lv-R kit is better than the factory sport line

@@davem4131 I have a Sportline. Got it 3 months ago and only done 25 miles in it so far. Needs coilovers as it has a poor ride. So much trim missing. Not impressed 😡

[@davem4131]

@@Vwfan nice tho! how come so little miles!? I went from factory sportline suspension 30mm to Koni with 50mm drop and upped the wheels to 20” and it was far more comfortable! Would recommend CRS performance to get it fitted

@@davem4131 being a builder I’m so damn busy and had no time to get it on the road. Took 17 months to get it from ordering. T6 forum is a great help but will be using it soon!

@@Vwfan just flog it for 20k over RRP! There’s a waiting list so you’ll make loads on it
