Cabin is comfortable, fairly roomy for a smaller vehicle, but not much in the way of storage compartments. Handling is nimble, very compliant. This vehicle is "peppy" enough around town and actually fun to drive - but not a lot of "giddy up" when merging onto the highway. Ford annoyingly chose to leave out a way to switch off interior cargo LED's.

A great alternative to a SUV or a minivan

This vehicle is a best kept secret! Ford has not marketed this vehicle very well, and that is a shame, because it provides a great deal of space and flexibility. Extremely versatile with comfortable seating for 6 (with second row buckets) or 7 passengers (with second row bench seat) OR the 2nd and 3rd row seats either fold flat or are removable for lots of cargo. The Titanium version of the long wheelbase wagon is pretty plush and well equipped for the price. Mine has 2 leather bucket seats in each seating row which gives you a center aisle to access the 3rd row seats without having to fold down a 2nd row seat, Many of the modern tech conveniences are there -- rear camera with cross-traffic alert, blind spot monitor, proximity alert, Synch system which integrates with your mobile phone via Bluetooth and has a great navigation system that accepts voice commands. Good audio system which includes Sirius XM capability. Handles securely with a smooth ride and a small turning radius given the size of the vehicle. Minor inconvenience compared to other minivans is no powered sliding side doors or tailgate. Unusually, the windows in the sliding side doors open like in conventional rear doors and are power-operated. Considering the price point, it is lots cheaper than equivalently equipped minivans such as Honda Odyssey, Toyota Sienna, Dodge Caravan, or Chrysler Pacifica and less cost than many large 3-row SUVs. Exterior styling is a bit quirky compared to a minivan or SUV, but that tall stance offers great interior room. You sit up high and have an excellent view out, and you can carry bulky, tall objects with ease that would never fit in most minivans or SUVs. This is one European import (made in Spain and derived from the Ford Focus) that is eminently worthy of consideration.

Ford Motor Company purchased the vehicle back from us and we couldn’t be more pleased with them doing the right thing.

One of the absolute worst cars I've owned

When I got my 2016 Transit Connect Titanium wagon I was thrilled with the ride height, the different look of the body, the versatility. Fast forward 2 years and I absolutely despise this thing and wish someone would steal it. I'll start with the ride quality- it doesn't exist. Loud, rough, extremely unrefined... sadly more of all of those than I would have ever imagined. My 1984 Chevette rode better than this thing. Next, and as some other reviewers mentioned, the car very clumsily lunges forward when beginning to accelerate, brake, go around corners, etc. The horsepower in my Transit is the 2.5 which is honestly still a joke. It makes a TON of noise when having to accelerate hard but doesn't really do much else... like it doesn't go any faster, it just gets louder. Build quality isn't fantastic with several small issues like a constant smell of staleness or mold due to a water leak coming from under the dash that no Ford dealership can find. My suggestion- don't buy this unless you have no other choice (AND YOU ALWAYS HAVE ANOTHER CHOICE). You've been warned. *UPDATE* Have put another 13,000 miles on this thing and I still hate it. Most recently the plastic piece mounted to the side of the driver’s seated where the seat control is at broke off and is just hanging there. I’m not that big so it’s not like I’m putting hundreds of pounds on this thing to snap off like it did.

Have owned four years in February 2021 currently, still working well for our needs easy to handle, get the windows tinted to help the A/C. Takes up little space in the garage. Great head room. Update 3/5/19 Installed aftermarket roof rhino-racks and aero-bars, this was for a Thule pod, it helps when the in-laws visit, and we go camping, we are going to install a receiver hitch for bicycles this summer. Update 3/6/20 Receiver and rack and POD, really worked out for longer trip, We drove 4 adults and two kids to Moab, avg 26 MPG though varied elevation on a 2500 mile trip. The aftermarket racks can hold more than the stock ford rack, it was a pain to install the rails, pay a professional, if you do it yourself get cold quenched drill-bits the steel will dull anything else. We just returned from using the van to camp below MT Adams. It handled the unpaved roads well the washboard was a little hard but not bad the kid laughed at the water in the bottles bouncing around. Ford should offer camping improvement a 1"more clearance would be nice that being said we never bottomed out, and a bash plate still did not need but would be nice.
