2012 Ford Transit Connect Cargo Van XL 4dr Minivan w/o Side & Rear Glass (2.0L 4cyl 4A)
I was surprised to see the scathing reviews for the ford transit connect. My experiences were quite different from those mentioned before. I am a subcontractor with dish, and so far, I have nothing to complain about! On average, I get 25 miles to the gallon fully loaded (and I mean LOADED) with some very heavy equipment. This saves me $10,000 on gas a year versus most other chevy express … vans in my fleet. Yes, it may not be the best to drive or accelerate, but if you've bought a work van for comfort or acceleration, you might want to pick a desk job instead. Overall, great little reliable and efficient van, as long as you don't overload it of course. Going strong at 95,000 miles.

2012 Ford Transit Connect Cargo Van XL 4dr Minivan w/o Side & Rear Glass (2.0L 4cyl 4A)
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
