Used Ford Transit Connect for Sale

We purchased this vehicle used from a rental car company with about 20,000 miles on it. As a family of seven that is still growing and travels quite a lot, we needed a vehicle that would fit us, our luggage, and our pets. We love how many anchor points there are for car seats for the little ones. The trunk space for the Transit is amazing. The fourth row of seating comes out easily with simple clips, and while heavy, was not difficult to remove. There is plenty of room for all of us to stretch out and be comfortable on long rides. There are a few cons to the Transit Connect 350, however. The number one annoyance for us has been the road noise. It's difficult to hear children in the far back when we are up front due to the noise. More cup holders would be fantastic. There just isn't space for everyone to have a drink, though that has even been easily remedied with organizers on the back of the seats. There are not enough power outlets. There are two up in the front, but for the entire back of the vehicle, only one outlet. As a large family with many electronics, we could use at least one more. There is no center console. Just a big open space where junk seems to collect.

The Transit Connect is a great compact cargo van. The leg room up front for the driver and passenger is more than plentiful. Everything is easily reached, short or tall, and the cargo netted area above the windshield is wonderful for storing items out of the way. The seats are quite comfortable even on long rides. To date very minimal maintenance has been needed after owning for over a year, simple common wear items such as wipers. Gas mileage has been very consistent over the past year, roughly 23 to 25 miles per gallon depending on highway versus in town driving. For a 4cyl vehicle it has plenty of get up and go when its needed. Not a fan of the interior dash area, feels too long and not a personal favorite. Would not want to drive as a personal vehicle, but as a work cargo van it serves its purpose, drives well, and is very comfortable. If deciding to purchase this type of vehicle again the only change I would make would be to have the side windows instead of the solid panel, the solid panel has a horrible blind spot when trying to back out of parking areas. Overall great mini cargo van that seems small but is way more than it appears.

It is a relatively compact and affordable Ford Transit Connect,. This Euro-derived cargo (or passenger) van offers impressive functionality in a maneuverable and fuel-efficient package. A scaled-down alternative to traditional full-size work vans, the Ford Transit Connect features a car-based architecture and an economical four-cylinder engine. Its payload and towing capacities are pretty meager compared to a regular van, but in return the Transit Connect should woo commercial buyers with its affordable price, maneuverable size and remarkably practical interior.
