2011 Ford Transit Connect Wagon XLT 4dr Minivan (2.0L 4cyl 4A)

OK $23,000 for a van so, you know. Bought it today, seat seems comfortable. Need it for a small business and to tote an almost adult kid or 2. 4 cylinders and I could bearly get up a steep hill with only me in it and no passengers or payload. That scares me. Probably won't return it, cause I traded in my car. Shoulda shopped more! Yes, turning radius good. Ugly too. Still mileage good. Price good. Little scared about being able to get up to speed on highway or change lanes. If I can't get up a hill at 25 miles an hour, what will happen on the highway?
A professional drivers opinion.

2010 Ford Transit Connect Cargo Van XLT 4dr Minivan w/Side & Rear Glass (2.0L 4cyl 4A)

As part of my job I drive a Ford Transit Connect. Overall, I like the vehicle, the handling is respectable even at highway speeds, and interior cargo space truly is impressive. I've driven this vehicle in all weather conditions and at all times of day. While I am overall impressed with the vehicle, however, it does have a glaring safety concern. The standard side view mirrors are inadequate for the vehicle. It desperately needs the full sized mirrors found on larger vans. Even looking over your right shoulder to check the blind spot it is possible to hide a mid-sized car in the Transits blind spot.

We bought this for our gourmet bakery distributorship business. We have put 25,000 miles on so far. It has been everything we hoped it would be. We get a huge amount of product in it, all the doors are easy to work from with the low floor, very comfortable to drive with great gas mileage. This was a key for us averaging almost a thousand miles a week. People constantly come up and ask about it. We're thinking about buying a second one. Why has no one else come out with this type of vehicle for a business operator?
Work Van- Not very nice, I would hate it if I had paid for it!

Wheel bearings went out at 50,000! All but one hubcap has come off. Power windows have stopped working. Driver side door does not unlock with the key fob. Fuel tank is tiny, I need to fill up every other day. Ride is so loud I can't even use the blue tooth. Overall this car has a lot of issues. It is free for me to drive so that makes up for it some, but if I had paid my own money for this I would be mad.
Used it for a camper van and was PERFECT

I bought it used with 144k miles to convert into a tiny camper van. A little worried about reliability, but throughout the time I owned it, I had hardly any issues. At 211,000 miles, it was still going strong but I sold it to someone who wanted to continue to take it on adventures since I really had no use for it anymore. Throughout my ownership, the only things I had to do was stuff that would happen to any car - new brakes, new wheel bearings, and new tires. The only thing I had actually go wrong with it was the water pump failed right around 200k miles, but it was a cheap $200 fix. As other reviews said, the hubcaps do fall off really easily, and the TPMS light is super sensitive, but I just drove without hubcaps and kept an eye on the tire pressures. Another issue I had was the underbody was rusting pretty bad by the time I sold it, but it was also primarily used in Michigan, so the salted winter roads definitely were a major contribution to that. For a van, it drives great. Handling is way more like a car than a van and was very easy to navigate through cities. The visibility is amazing! The windshield is huge and so are the side windows. The blind spots are minimal. It's no speed demon, but it gets up to speed appropriately. You can fit a whole bed, sink, fridge, and way more in the back. You'd be surprised at how much it can fit. Overall, I would highly recommend it, and I truly miss it, which is weird to say about a van. If I ever need another camper van, I'll definitely be looking to a Transit Connect.
