Ford should advertise this vehicle & there would be many more on the road . A gem for the price. People either like or dislike the design/style.

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!!

Carbitrator problems, air conditioning will only blow in face, headlight great on high beams but lows are REALLY BAD, not much room for cargo behind last seat, seats don't adjust well, transmission jerks when it changes gears, all the plastic trim and parts are falling off all over car

The 2016 Ford Transit Connect has ruined my view of Ford as an auto manufacturer. I have always had good luck with Ford and thus drove them almost exclusively. That is until I started driving the 2016 Ford Transit Connect with the 2.5L engine. I dont know where to start so I will just list all the issues I have with this thing. There are a lot. Good- Comfortable in the front seats Average MPG for fuel Bad- -Turns like a tank -Towing capacity sucks. We actually ruined a set of tires towing with this at the rated capacity. -Washer fluid capacity is .8 gallons. Washer fluid only comes in ! gallon containers. I include only to show the amount of thought that was put into this vehicle. -I have to order wipers (special clips) and air filters (super small) online because no one in my city carries them. -You need to remove the entire air intake just to access the battery. Replacing the battery has gone beyond simple replacement and into removing multiple parts, lines, and other obstructions in order to do simple repairs. -Rear seats are not adjustable or removable. They fold flat but are very thick and take up a lot of your cargo room.

I purchased this vehicle new. It has spent more time in the shop or parked at home than it has on the road. Same problems over and over, can't be fixed. Ford refuses to recognize it as a "lemon" and make restitution. Warranty expired and it's broken, again. Ford mechanic said it will cost me more than $3000 for the repair.
