The 2010 Ford Transit Connect is a mechanics nightmare when it comes to replacing the master brake cylinder, accessing the a/c low port...all in all it is not an easy engine to work on. I had to replace the master brake cylinder, and was a job I could normally do myself, however do to where the Master Brake Cylinder is located I had to take it to a mechanic. Its a job that on most cars would only take approximately 2 hours and maybe cost $350 to $400w/part. On the 2010 Ford Transit Connect the job took 4.5 hours (@$95/hr) and being there's no aftermarket part, I had to buy Ford factory part$$$$...total labor and part...$850.00

long story short if your a business owner and looking to beef up your company with an ideal company vehicle especially a cargo van THIS IS THE VAN FOR YOU i am the owner of a security company for 12 years now i have had many cargo vans FORD CHEVY DODGE but nothing beats the style of a ford econoline but i have had quite a few of those over the years on 03 / 09 / 2020 i talked to a buddy of mine who owns a used car dealership and asked if he had had any ford transit connects on the lot and ofcourse he did but i didn't want new i wanted specifically USED and i found 3 that were 2010 fully restored fully detailed with a few nice customized touches but as i said long story short BUSINESS OWNER + FORD TRANSIT CONNECT = PERFECT COMBO happy hunting to all

I find this van fun to drive. More nimble than a pickup or most vans. Acceleration is good enough, just OK, hence the performance penalty. Seats a very comfortable for long distance multi-hour drives. Reliablity must be pretty good from the maintenance history, which I have. I haven't had it long enough to fully evaluate that aspect. I love the large interior space for hauling cargo, for such a compact form factor. I also like the exterior styling, which at this date, may seem outdated, but to me, still seems fresh.
