2014 ford transit connect review.

We love this car! It has a huge windshield, great gas mileage, and big enough to sleep in. It is easy to drive and there is plenty of space to bring our friends and family along with us. It is easy to park, and so far has not had any mechanical problems.

The good and the bad and suggestions.

Air conditioner has been replaced 2 times in 2 years. Backup camera resolution is very poor. The interior light has to be manually activated from side door. Very inconvenient. Cannot connect more than 1 phone through Bluetooth. The vehicle handles good. I can take sharp turns easily.

This vehicle will seat seven people but still has much more style than a traditional minivan.

It has the seating and capacity of a mini van with a much more stylist look. It also has straight across seating - no climbing up or dropping down to get into a seat. Last, it was easy to convert for my wheelchair lift.

Top selling points of the transit.

Can count on it to start immediately, handle well, interior is driver and passenger compatible, 100% vision all around. Very comfortable on long and short trips. Could sleep in cargo area if need arose. Plenty of room for passengers and cargo, ie groceries, garden products. Exterior looks are modern and spiffy.

Not your ordinary van-ford transit connect.

It has great leg room, storage space, and a great back up camera to help with safety. One problem with the van are the seats are really hard to take out. It gets great mileage for a van. Another problem that is a challenge is that the radio is not very user friendly. Registration can also be expensive each year.

It is great for turning heads.

I like that it seats 7, that the seats can be changed around, and that the visibility is fabulous. I dislike that the seats cannot go totally flat.

Elizabeth S

It gets good gas mileage for a van.

I like the space for my feet. The backup camera prevents accidents. The seats are very hard to take out.

James T

It is customizable, with side-rear windows, rear door, and ramp options.

It has merely ok gas mileage. But the handling is fine. I like the appearance. The car is usually white so you can put wrap and other advertising. The cargo area is large and has a soft enough floor that objects will not easily break if they fall. I have had no serious issues with repairs in the two years I have driven it.

Negative Owner Reviews

I loved it when i initially purchased it, but it is falling apart and still fairly new. The a/c stopped functioning just after the warranty was up, the rear wiper stopped working as well.

It has great space and is good for travel, I just wish it was more reliable

Poor design of heat for middle and rear rows.

The air in the middle and rear rows is misleading and we would not have purchased the vehicle if we knew ahead of time what we only learned after purchase... The cold air really does blow cold air so that is not the issue. The issue is the 'hot' air does not actually generate heat, it simply blows hot air after the air from the front is warmed.

It is NOT powerful.It is built to poke a long like an old person,not drive like someone who has something to do!

The size is great, 2 side doors are great the bells and whistles are fun. The van has a rubber band engine though and you can pass just about no one. I would like a bigger engine. Better brakes too. It doesn't stop all that well.

It has a lot of carrying capacity.

I like that the seats fold down for hauling. I like the fuel efficiency. I do not like the way the shoulder harness sits against my neck. I do not like the blind spots on the driver's side. I do not like the way the temperature controllers operate.

Tina H

Love my transit but would change a few things.

There is a bad blind spot. Love the dual doors in the back they have a option of opening full. Can fold all seats down for great hauling capabilities and put seats up for a 8 passengers. The radio module went out and it is a 500. 00 dollar repair. It needs a bigger gas tank.

Audrey B

Plenty of cargo room, comfortable ride.

It is good on gas, a comfortable ride. 3rd row seats are difficult for adults to get in and out. There are several blind spots, so you have to look carefully before merging into traffic. I like that the seats fold into the floor, as I can haul my gear very easily.
