Used 2013 Ford Transit Connect Wagon XLT Premium 4dr Minivan (2.0L 4cyl 4A) Consumer Reviews
2013 Transit Connect Premium, A Real Honey
My 2010 cargo van like this got wrecked. It was hard to find another one with the window configuration I wanted. I went online nationwide. I definitely wanted a 2013, the last year this “boxy” style was made. I finally found this one at Mercedes Benz Of Bedford (Ohio). They were very helpful in taking it to a repair facility I picked out for a pre-purchase inspection. When all was good, the dealership arranged to have it shipped to Seattle for me. I knew the “wagon” meant there would be back seats, but didn’t know it would have features like a heated windshield and mirrors, reclining front seats, and all-weather tires. So happy this 73-yr-old lady got the courage to work with a dealership half way across the U.S.

2013 ford transit connect
I bought this van for my appliance repair business. Had 120000 miles on it when i bought it. So far i have replaced a water hose connector and a motor mount. Myself. They made this van mechanic friendly. I had never done a motor mount and it took me a little over one hour. Also the hose connector. I now have 192000 miles and drives great.

Great dog-hauler, but amenities back to 1980s
Here's my huge complaint about this vehicle: It doesn't turn off its own lights. The problem is that I haven't driven a car made since 1990 where it was even possible to leave the lights on so that the battery ran down. Other things they NEED to improve: can only unlock the rear cargo doors with key fob. It's impossible to lock the keys in the car (good) but keeping the fob handy at all times is annoying. Back seats: can fold down one, or all, but can't leave 1 up and fold down 2, which would be my preference. Otherwise, it's nimble, pickup is good enough for my purposes. I miss some other amenities of my 2006 hhr but the price was good here.
