Features such as fold down seats are wonderful. Seats fold completely flat or you can choose to fold some down, but not others. Great for hauling Grandkids & car seats, Grandma & her walker. Lots of head room, leg room, adjustable seats/ lumbar. Not without some road noise tho. Great vehicle to drive and easy to haul whatever you buy at the rummage sales or the home stores.

Ford Transit Connect Titanium keeps breaking

First, the throttle body had to be replaced due to a recall. Then it wouldn't shift correctly due to transmission fluid leaking so the dealership had to change out the gasket. Now the radio won't turn on and it's no longer under warranty because my car has 36k miles. All this within one year of ownership on a car less than two years old. I've never had these issues with my Japanese cars. Took a chance on this Ford because of the price and interior space. No surprise, Ford won't do anything about it. Numerous reports online regarding Ford Radios not powering on, but Ford won't fix it. Big surprise there. Terrible decision on my part to buy this car. No more Fords for me!!!

This car is great on gas because it is made as cheap as possible. If you skid, you'll be skidding for a while. Not good god forbid an accident were to occur.

This vehicle is not worth the price! It's very noisy, the AC/heat is very noisy, so to hear the radio you have to turn up the radio vol. road noise is terrible too. If you want heat it takes a good 5 min but then while driving the heat dissipates because cold air gets in from the door sides. The roll doors on each side are nice and work great. Buying it brand new and only getting a radio shows how cheap Ford really is.....no cd, Bluetooth, USB, navigation, radio screen. Pretty pathetic for a vehicle!!
