After trying a Nissan Pathfinder, a Ford Expedition, and a Chrysler Pacifica for my calibration business, I finally found THE right vehicle. No desire for a mini/full size van. I spend over 40 weeks on the road annually. I call this my money bus, or my toaster (mine is RED). No problems at 15,000 miles. Love the Bluetooth. I fabricated a full-length shelf about 15" below the roofline. Would rather have purchased the same custom made. I also installed a side-mounted shelf unit custom from Adrian Steel. Stereo upgrade a must. Traction Control is impressive. 25-28 mpg highway. Power is adequate, handling/maneuverability is a dream. I'd love to pimp this one out! Rear seats a snap to remove.

I love the design of these, although the ride quality could use some major improvement. The engine is capable, although takes quite a while to get it to Freeway speed. With the air conditioning on it really saps the power too. I have been dropping it out of overdrive to gain more power with the A/C on. The transmission seems quite capable and makes up for some of the little engines deficiency. After driving the TC for 5 months I have come to really dislike the suspension qualities. Every tar strip and bump is felt. It smooths out a little at freeway speeds, but at slower speeds, there are noticeable rattles and squeals. Ford needs to get with Bilstein shocks for some suspension refinement.

VI have this car since 2012. Took it new. There was a problem with the transmission in the warranty scream. Repaired by a dealer. The first time a week, the second time 4 days. After a warranty period of 71,000 miles, the transmission collapsed completely, after I reached the workshop, they could not move the car. Transmission parts are made of some kind of light alloy. It is magnetized, but very fragile. This repair cost me $ 3,000. Now I have a mileage of 82,000 miles, jerking again begins when shifting when shifting to slow gear. This is especially noticeable when climbing. The car is weak and unreliable. Another problem with the battery. I already have a 4th battery, because the warranty on this type of battery is only 2 years.only

I've had my transit for 4yrs. In that time I've replaced the transmission the motor the water pump twice the mufflerand now the transmission has gone out again. Few other minor things that dont work like the electric locks and over heats. I thought i had just bought a lemon but after reading other reviews i thing there all lemons. Please i repeat please dont buy this piece of junk or you'll be sorry. U can thank me later

We loved our 1999 Windstar , but after 400,000 miles it was worn out. The Transit Connect was our best option since it fits in the garage. We have over 80,000 miles on it and outside of normal wear ( tires , brakes and oil ) we have only had a few issues. The first is the tpm system. This works fine until you rotate the tires. With the rear tires having a higher pressure the light will come one when they are switched to the front and the system needs to be reset. The driver side window motor went out and was replaced about $400.00 with labor ( van was out of warrenty) and the most glaring problem is the lack of power. Remember this thing only has a Focus engine but is bigger and weighs more. It is fine around town and at speeds up to 60 mph which is what it was designed for. It will drive fine on the highway but is noisy rides like a truck ( which it really is ) and struggles with long uphill grades. We have driven our van all over the country and are happy so far.
