Outside - great styling, great color choices Inside - great visibility, comfort and a van load of technology and specials features that make this a great choice for family or business use.
One of Ford's best keep secrets! Minivan comes in short and long wheel base models w/ tree different trim levels and choice of 6 or 7 passenger in the long wheel base (189.7" long- 15.8'). Van comes in passenger or cargo van. Driving visibility is abundant with no noticeable blind spots. There are a blind spot warning sensors on both sides of the car just in case plus Cross traffic sensors. Rear hatch door is large and load in level is low for ease of loading. All three rows of seats fold flat with 60/40 center fold down choice and third row 50/50 fold down choice. I'm 6' 3" and there is is at least a foot of head room in the driver's seat. Very good legroom in all three rows of seats. Latest tech for hands free phone, navigation, apps, even texts. Tire pressure monitors, full size spare tire. 15.8 gal gas tank, 2.5 ltr 4 cyl engine w/6 spd auto trans. Handles very well. Our car came with Ford SYNC with AM/FM stereo, single cd player, 6.5" capacitive touch LCD touch screen, SiriusXM satellite radio, HD radio, navigation system, rear view camera , auto dimming rear view mirror, compass display, dual-zone electronic automatic temp control, leather seats w/front driver and passenger heated seats, remote start, rear passenger doors are sliding for ease of loading people and cargo. There many other really cool features and great options and accessories.

Even though it looks compact it has a lot of useful holding space.
It has a good amount of space and i love the rolling doors. However, i do feel that the weight of the car causes the engine to use more gas than i would hope. Trunk space is great.

Great family vehicle for those that need some a little larger without getting g a giant SUV.
I love the size it fits 6 people without feeling like a bus. I do wish it did have more options like electric sliding doors would be great for families.

It is easy to drive, comfortable and has all the features any family would love.
I can't say enough about how much I love our van. I am still surprised because I swore for years I would never own one. I love that is it more compact than a traditional van. The headspace is amazing because my husband is very tall and it is the first vehicle he can sit in comfortably sitting up. The optional 3rd row is perfect for when we need friends and the larger trunk space easily fits the hockey bags for my big boys and my jogging stroller at the same time. The only thing I think I would change is it would be nice to have the sliding doors be on an automatic button system instead of only manual.

It drives like a car, not a truck or van.
No problems whatsoever. I have an inside lift added and it allows me to be mobile. I love my car.

It is equipped to carry a wheelchair.
I like my van for It's style and room. What I don't like is the gas mileage. It is converted into a wheelchair van.

It fits a family and has good seat belts which make parents feel safe
I would live to have automatic doors and a sun roof but so far it's nice and safe and gets the job done

Great cargo van for a small business.
I really enjoy the van! As I own a small audio visual company its been perfect for loading up tools and equipment for different gigs. The gas mileage is great and the fact that it seems to be built on a car's frame like the focus or fusion makes it super easy to drive. I've driven lots of full size cargo vans over the years and it feels great to not feel like your driving a boat.
