Massive cargo space for mini van. Great gas mileage.
Roomy. Great fuel mileage. Very easy to see out of.

A lot of people stop to ask about it or look inside.
Compact but roomy enough for 3 kids and their gear. Better gas mileage than a minivan. Can easily have the seats folded down for hauling various items. Has newer safety features and sync sound system without being overly complicated. Nice minimalist version of a new vehicle.

Soccer mom to quarter mile drag strip type of van.
I haven't had any problems yes with the van yet. When it is comes to the performance of the transit connect it is beyond mind blowing. Keeping up with well known high end cars on the highway is no problem. Super reliable and one of the best vehicles I have had yet. Royal purple I have used since the day I brought the car home off the showroom floor at 34 miles. Now I am at 60,000 miles but runs like the very first day. The front seats are nice bucket leather seats which gives it a race care type feel. The back seat is all one bench style seat which isn't that comfortable.

Great car: ford transit connect.
I love the vehicle. It is spacious but not too big to where it will not fit into certain parking spaces. I have only had one problem with it and that was the steering wheel assist where it turned off in the middle of driving, but other than that, it is a great car.

Love my ford transit connect.
I love my ford transit connect. It is very convenient for my family. It has the option for having a 3rd row of seating which is wonderful. My vehicle is very reliable and had excellent gas mileage. I haven't had any problems out of it... I love the back up sensors it has. I can connect my phone so I don't have to bother with my phone when driving.

Uncomfortable and unsafe back seats.
The seat in the very back are terrible. Yes it is leather but if you sit up straight your head is like a half foot away from the headrest. It is completely unsafe and extremely uncomfortable and makes your neck hurt terribly if you sit for a longer period of time on a trip.
