2013 Ford Transit Connect consumer reviews

I started driving in 1975 and I wish that this model was made back then! My little Transit XLT has the tinted windows all around and is converted into a "mini RV" complete with a bed that slides out to accommodate two full grown adults. Not only has this been a blessing on cross country trips but also on my daily runs. The cargo space is fantastic and the van sips gas...This has been one of my favorite vehicles I've owned in the 47 years I have driven.

Purchased van 2 years ago. It needed motor mounts so I checked locally $140-250 just for parts at the parts store. I got a complete set (front, rear and bottom strut) for $35 from Amazon Prime and it took me about 45 minutes to replace them. It helps if you have an air wrench and a jack. I put a van rug in the cargo area which quiets it down considerably. It runs like a watch,just keeps on going, I had a Lexus and the dealer offered me more than I had in it. Now I drive the van every day and enjoy it. I put a much better stereo in and it sounds great. Now I can lock up my fishing gear and not have to unload the van when I return. The 2013 is a high top and I love that, It gets 27 mpg regular gas. No need to replace the Lexus. The plates and insurance are much cheaper, too, Hope this helps,

PROS = 100% CONS = 0% if your looking for a cargo van for your company / business this is the pick of the litter this is one cargo van that is a true honest '' workaholic '' it's will be ready to go whenever you are and whenever duty calls 24/7 365 i own my own security company this cargo van makes transportation of supplies and employees a total breeze i own the passenger edition so it fits 5 total and there is still tons of space for bags and boxes of documents inside with some snow tires on in the winter NO PROBLEM at all but honest truth NEED A CARGO VAN ? this is the one for you HAPPY SHOPPING ALL

This is the first Ford vehicle I have ever owned and will never purchase another Ford again. I give this 2013 Ford Transit Connect XLT the lowest ratings possible in every category. It only has 39,425 miles and I have made more repairs on this vehicle than any other vehicles I've owned. There are just to many problems to list. So PLEASE BUYERS BEWARE.

Good for me to carry my musical equiptment. I first saw this van over in the United Kingdom before they brought them from Europe to the USA. I loved the look of this little truck and when they made it to the US I knew I would have to get one. I like the earlier design 2013 and back. Mine is a 2013 wagon version. I have a removable curtain to hide the cargo area and my windows are tinted out black to hide my cargo. It's fun to drive but doesn't win any races. No problem passing on the freeway when you are up to speed. It's a European economy vehicle which is what I wanted. It's like a Mini or a VW Beetle with much more room. Hopefully it will prove mechanically reliable, only had mine a little over a month. Love it!

I found pulling on to a 55 mph highway starting from a gravel lot, I allow plenty of space from traffic and, if I get the slightest when spin, the power drops and I am half in traffic and can't move for a few seconds. I have had cars honk and weave around me to avoid collision. I made a great distance to be safe and I was almost hit by stalling in the lane. 4 seconds at 60 mph is 352 feet. It goes away quick. Others report the same problem in the snow trapping the van in place. Others have pulled fuse 191 to disable all ABS and traction control functions. You can't do that in traffic. Has no-one crashed, or been killed by this? Ford offers no solution for this death trap. I just got this van and love it, but winter is coming and I am very concerned.

Gets the job done it's a work truck. Has plenty of space in the XLT model. SYNC is great. The small tires don't make for s smooth ride though. Other then that I liked it

Great Van, good gas millage, comfortable, lots of storage. I use this van mildly for delivering flowers in the local community. Never had any trouble.

Reliable vehicle for small company great in gas and rides well. Easy to get in and out of and compact vehicle. Would buy again! Thanks

This truck gets very good fuel mileage and meets my needs ; I am an HVAC contractor and I work out of this truck everyday . It handles well
