  • Great visibility

    I love this van. It's like driving a space ship - very high visibility. I've had a recall on the side doors but Ford made it good. Be sure to keep up with the recalls. I wasn't aware of the side door recall since I bought it used so I paid out of my pocket for them - but Ford reimbursed me.

  • Something Is Wrong

    This vehicle slides right under so many recalls. Shifting cable,front glass, Some of the system panel works so it doesn't qualify for recall, transmission light goes on the day the transmission breaks down no warning before. The bumper are so low you can't get near a bumper stop or you will rip off your bumper. Cheaply put together. Drivers seat is poorly designed while getting in and out of vehicle you cause seat to adjust down, while low the chair base low quality just breaks no way to repair without replace so much stuff. Rides great hard on good wheels low gas mileage, the pipe where you put gas in broke how does that happen. But the mechanic says he sees it quite often for this make and model of car. He don't know how there is no recall on this particular part .

  • Fantastic Utilitarian Van

    My grandma has owned a 2015 Transit Connect lwb since new my grandpa got the base model since he was a cheap meiser. This van has been fantastic now at 60,000 miles obviously it's not the best liquor it's a van the interior is functional but again it is the same material that came out of any Ford Focus or C-Max it works and the seats for how cheap the cloth is is not terrible to sit in the Driving Experience is not that bad either and the select shift is actually decent. Obviously it's a van there's a ton of space we fit a lot of people in it and the 2.4 4banger is enough for highway driving for a front wheel drive based vehicle it's fairly easy to work on. If you need a van to haul people or things around in I could recommend one of these vans

  • I give it a B.

    Nice vehicle. My seats were the tan synthetic and look very dingy and are impossible to clean. Mileage was always 3 mpg worse than listed. There is a very harsh shift in mine from 4th to 5th on the highway sometimes. Not a smooth running vehicle. Little things, but no major faults.

    It is exactly what I was looking for and I like it. It is a short wheelbase with seating for 5 and it is very versatile, just what I was looking for.

  • We spend hours each day driving a Transit Connect

    It is a blast to drive. When you drive 30k miles each year in the city it is important to be comfortable and safe. We love what Ford has done with this work van. Having owned the other major brands Ford has got them all playing catch up.

  • Short term ownership, but pleased so far.

    The features, functionality and value are hard to beat. I have had every brand of cargo van and something negative to say about all of them. This one has surprised me in power, gas mileage and suitability to our business needs. We purchased a passenger van to use for deliveries. I like having the headliner and XLT options. Headliners make them much quieter, especially in the rain. Fun to drive with great visibility and safety features.

  • great cargo room for a small vehicle

    Drives like a small car, easy to maneuver. Can fit large light weight objects. Low to the ground for easy loading and unloading, thats a big plus. Hard for tall people to see the speedometer without lowering head.

    Great for local delivery but a bit rough for long distance. A bit noisy and tinny. Seats uncomfortable. Plus side very useable cargo bay. Also being low to the ground make loading easy. Good mileage.
