Used 2018 Ford Transit Connect Consumer Reviews
Maximum impact for minimum outlay
This is my 5th van and my Best Van! Luv this new technology and comfort. Easy to work out of and fits in the garage. 👍 However, I do transmission drain and fills (3 x each) every 10,000 miles hoping to avoid any problems with the 6F35 Trans. I’m at 122,000 miles now with no issues. Enjoying this vehicle. 👍
Too flimsy
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.

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.

Overall this vehicle has been only fair. The fuel economy sucks to say the least.

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!!!
