    Awesome headroom demo!! I'm 6'4" and this car looks great!

    If that 6'3" guy sat on the back seat without being cramped, I would've been very impressed with the car. Good presentation.

    We have used the "build your vehicle" app on the Ford website and contacted our local dealership about purchasing a 2016 or 2017 Transit Connect during Ford's March promotion. We already have a 2010 Transit Connect, but we're hanging on to it, as our son will be finishing law school soon and joining Dad's law practice, and will need his own vehicle to make courthouse runs.

    It's nice to see ford bring back family oriented mini vans. We are NOT a minivan family but it is still nice seeing vehicles like this hit the road. And with an ecoboost engine if we ever considered one. This would be first pick. Very impressed with ford on this one. We have just and ecoboost f150 crewcab and a short wheel base expedition. We love these vehicles and I can't imagine going with Chevy. They're trucks have very trashy fuel mileage and the suburbans are just too big for a family of 4.

    Well done no nonsense overview.

    At last, European style SUV coming to America and they they show the perfect vehicle for city operations even for large families. It is based on the Focus. FWD makes it efficient. But you could try the Nissan NV200 since it is a cool Renault Kangoo. Hopefully, turbo-diesel engines will be provided one day.

    MSRP of around $25500 for the XLT short base with the EcoBoost engine! Lots of room for a small family like my own. We currently drive a Mazda5 MiniVan. I would love to test drive it!

    Very nice overview. Thanks.
    One question. With the second row seats positioned up and out of the way, how much storage length do you have from the seats back to the rear gate in both the short and extended versions?
    I was hoping the featured vehicle would be in the low 20's instead of the high 20's

    I like this vehicle. I currently drive KIA Carnival 2013 and would wish to use it for Products transportation but it's too big for a busy traffic city like Riyadh. This 2014 Ford Transit Connect looks to be my ideal dual purposed vehicle.

    I don't know why people keep saying the Transit Connect is made in Turkey. It is made in Valencia, Spain. The previous model was built in Turkey.

  • @kevinsears7382
    @kevinsears7382 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    You absolutely cannot compare the 2014 with previous models. I've had two of the previous, and just took delivery of my 2014 Ecoboost cargo van with long wheelbase. Unlike my older ones, the Ecoboost will go as fast as you need on any grade at any elevation. Mine has just 400 miles on it, mostly on last night's drive from Colorado Springs to Albuquerque with about 700 lbs. of cargo. My van has options of Ecoboost, long wheelbase, back-up camera, single-disc CD, Bluetooth Sync, side windows, tinted glass and heated mirrors. Cost was right at $28,000.

    • @kevinsears7382
      @kevinsears7382 10 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      ...I failed to mention the mileage of 29 mpg all on cruise control.

    Make a 2020 review of the wagon!

  • @RhinoXpress

    he forgot to show that the passenger front seat will also fold flat which gives you even more space to put stuff in.

  • @innomind
    @innomind 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    Can back seats be removed completely? If so, is the cargo height area in this Wagon same as the Transit Connect Van's? Thanks so much!

    • @TCcustoms_
      @TCcustoms_  10 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes, on the 5 passenger, the seats can be completely removed. On the 7 passenger, the seats fold completely flat. But even then, the Van still has (slightly) more cargo area

    Ford has designed the Transit with meticulous attention to detail! The undersized engine. The weak transmission. These design characteristics will give you a vehicle that lasts 3 years.

  • @rafarga1980
    @rafarga1980 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    At first I thought the van was too small, until the presenter mentioned that he's 6'3" tall.

  • @jdlvtrn1
    @jdlvtrn1 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    I wanted the headroom and open ramp back of the old one to roll in full sized bicycles. This new version has lost it all! Bummer!

  • @divinejudge1
    @divinejudge1 10 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    People saying this car is made in Turkey. In every review from Europe they state the vehicle is made in Spain.

    • @williamlynch6079

      I own a 2010 Ford Transit Connect. I love this vehicle! The body was manufactured in Turkey. The drive train was built by Ford in Spain. It all works together to get me there and back. All over New Jersey, New York and the entire Eastern United States. A truly fine car... truck... van... friend!

    what i think is weird is that the XLT cost a few hundred $ less than the XL. any reason why?

  • @unkysonny
    @unkysonny 9 ปีที่แล้ว

    I would like to see how your 6'3" would fit lying down in the back. I'm 6'2" and looking for something that could be set up for camping. I appreciate the height but these look too short in all the variations I've seen. Anyone making camper conversions with the Transit, or any suggestions for another vehicle to meet this need?

  • @carlbrothers
    @carlbrothers 9 ปีที่แล้ว

    I own a 2015 Titanium Transit Connect and there are a few things that are not as they should be. The driver cannot turn on the cabin lighting, the heater for the rear passengers makes a $2 hair drier look like a winner, and the vents in the third row do not fully close.

      OK I knows I'm a little late, since this was posted in January but I've never even seen one of these. Hope you and the family are all doing well, it's been a LONG time.

    @therandomtester9561 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    2.5 and 1.6 liter?
    Can someone please explain why you'd need that big engines?
    In Europe the same car is sold with either 1.0 Ecoboost or 1.6 Diesel.
    Also looking at the Transit, you get 3.5 diesel and 3.7 petrol, we buy the 2.2 diesel.
    The older Transit was sold here with an optional 3.2 diesel 200hp, but was faced out because of to high emissions..

    • @keeganlee4518
      @keeganlee4518 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      Your mistaking Ford for GM. No car manufacture will compete against GM for that award. Also almost every manufacture had some type of recall this year. No brand is perfect its funny when people say the German cars are suburb over all other manufactures their not. When a VW drives by and the transmission whines when going forward proves they aren't built rock solid like people like to think. I am a Ford guy and always will be they make great products and have quality products. When a brand like Ford competes against Mercedes Audi, BMW, Lexus, Etc. and there products win more awards that saying something. Ford Flex has to be there most luxurious vehicle. Ford's Ex-CEO Alan Mulally strived for Quality in his brand I he succeeded. I'm being biased and Im sorry I just think Ford needs to be looked at as a quality brand and forget about its past in the mid to late 1990's. This is probably the only Ford Vehicle that halls passengers that actually have hard plastics in it.

      John Terrazas I was being sarcastic, why the hate? Also most cars are fiberglass, so most car manufacturers aren't plastic.

    • @TheMijman
      @TheMijman 9 ปีที่แล้ว

      John Terrazas True, but I'd consider the body panels the car, the interior is just the interior
