Transit connect is a comfortable cargo van with great gas mileage.
The transit handles weight very well does not give me any issues with hauling my tools around. Great in gas mileage and very comfortable for what it is. I would recommend to anyone who owns a construction company. Looks very professional and gets the job done with anything I put it through.

Small in size but big on comfort and savings.
A perfect and compact van that utilizes every square inch of space appropriately. If there was a character in Mario kart that drove a van. It would be a transit connect van. Small in size but big on comfort. This little small 4 cylinder can get you in and out of whatever or wherever you need it too. Very easy to drive and a very tight turning radius. It won't let you down. Very reliable and very cost efficient.

Love the fact of all the room in the back, especially for being a small van.
Very reliable and no major issues in the 7 years I have had it. Lots of room, with more than 4' by 6' and 4' in height. Decent gas mileage and fairly quiet in comparison to other vans. Comes with a really good factory radio/CD player. If you enjoy a vehicle with plenty of storage room and good on gas. This is the vehicle for you.

This transit connect is the best car I have ever had.
There haven't been problems with the vehicle and I am impressed that with 5 years of age, it has been so trouble-free. I do change tires, so summer and then winter tires According to the season. Regular oil changing and maintenance are important, to keep the car in good repair.

Utility is the keyword. This is a utility vehicle straight up.
This is a utility minivan. It is a little on the slow side but handles a load really well. The van gets very good fuel economy. I average about 22 mpg around town and 28 mpg on trips. This is a tall van, so it is a little on the top heavy side however it is nothing that is unmanageable. I would like to upgrade to a newer one which I believe is just a little bit longer. Half a foot more length would really help.

What I really love about the 2013 ford transit connect is the versatility.
Overall, I really love my little ford transit connect! I feel like I get about 23 miles per gallon, which is great for a cargo van. It has so much space for how small it is. It's the perfect size for being not too small and not too big. The downside is that I feel like the engine is not that powerful for being a cargo van. It is very useful and blends in like a work van anywhere. I would recommend this little big van to anyone and would buy another anytime.

Fuel economy is important to me. Smaller size is easy to drive and park.
