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.

Comfortable, easy to live with, great a/c, very good "sync" sound system . I own a dry cleaners with satellite location(s) and use the van for pick up and delivery. It is also my "get around" vehicle. It could use more light in the cargo area. Give the economies of scale , Ford could add additional light for pennies. In my short time with the van, mostly city with one road trip to move a child to college, I am a happy owner.

Look around for a good buy. It took me about a year and some stubborn negotiating to snag my 2015 used by dealer only Transit connect cargo mini van on a retiree's budget. And best of all new car warranty less the 11k miles already on it.

most uncomfortable vehicle ever

I have had this vehicle forced upon me by my company. DO NOT get the vinyl seats!!! If you're 5'11" or taller you will be uncomfortable regardless of which seats you choose. My company ordered the XL model, which is a step above the Flintstone's car. It has absolutely nothing up front. If you're planning on getting shelving installed, choose very carefully and keep in mind that your workers cannot be kept to cookie cutter rules. Storage space is definitely not one size fits all. My work is not the same as Joe's work so why do we have identical vehicles? I can't fit my tools in this thing because they put so many shelves in it. My tools are too big for the shelves. If you like to drive with your arm on the door you could forget it. They put this weird trim on it to give it a curved look that forces your arm forward and punishes you for trying by digging into your elbow. The armrest is too low on the door and the armrest on the seat has a mind of its own, comes out of adjustment constantly and the only way to correct it is to turn it straight up and hope you get it right on the way back down. I've had many work vans over the last 25 years. Full size Dodge, Ford, Chevy, Mercedes, minivans and pickups, this thing is by far the least usable and most uncomfortable piece of crap I've ever had the displeasure of sitting in.

The service manager told me that all of Ford vehicles are defective, because they are built by robots. After I bought it. Two weeks Into ownership minor problems, paint, wheel covers, battery, none where fixed. I was actually told to go somewhere else to have it fixed. Battery cover fell off during transport, dealer didn't do a predelivery inspection , found it 6m miles later, damaged doesn't say anything. Brakes are no good, 8500 miles still not working properly. Hall O' Shame to Edmund's for not communicating the true value of this car to the consumers. Edmund's appraised this car at 5k miles at $14,000. I paid $30k You won't find that In Edmund's review. Cruise Control no good Engine is undersized as well as the braking system. Transmission slips, takes to long to engage from park. I cannot describe how cheap this vehicle is. Brand new condition you test drive and will not notice the horrific road noise resonating thru the tires. If you can find one for 14k go for it, otherwise don't bother with it. Total disservice to the consumer. After compiling 500 computer files, mostly complaints, Our Consumer Protection agencies do not protect consumers, The Ford Motor Company refuses to repair any defects on this new car, including a new one discovered by the NHTSA, the side door can unlatch and cause the van to flip while driving. I stopped paying for the car, Ford Repossessed it, Sold it for less than half of what I paid for it, and now wants the balance from me. That will not happen. [non-permissible content removed].
