I have one for 4 years and have traveled 74500 miles. I'm really happy about it. Excellent solution for those who love to travel with family and friends. The European model changes in some aspects but remains a revolution in the mini-van sector. Giancarlo (Italy)
Probably one of the best reviews of an automobile I have ever witnessed....and subtle humour to boot......great job and I really appreciate it...I think I'm going to buy one....Cheers & thanks!
@@MotorPressReviews I bought a 2015 LWB Cargo.....2 seater.....56K.....loaded all my sailboat gear....really enjoy the TC but I hit a deer....Van all fixed but not sure of the deer : (
I absolutely love mine, just got a new 2019 last year. It’s reliable as hell the only thing I would change is the location of the climate controls by swapping it with the wireless charger after all the idea is to not be distracted with the phone. It would make more sense to have the climate controls on top as opposed to the bottom where they are and a bit more cargo space but I really love it.
@@clarissaaceves5656 the center row does not quite sure about the third row and they all fold flat which is nice for extra cargo. And the long wheel base model will be ideal for the extra cargo.
My employer has the cargo version of this, it takes a moment to realize what vehicle I'm in every time I get behind the wheel because once you're sitting in it and turn the key, it's a focus. I had a 2012 Focus for many years, and this has the dash and steering wheel, from the Focus, the dingers, computer screen, radio, it's dejavu. For all that the van is much taller and longer, the ride and handling reminds me of the Focus as well. I would definitely buy one to replace my grand Caravan with now that our children are moving out of the house so our need for a full sized van is reduced. On the highway, driven in Boston traffic, I'm seeing the cargo version turn in 25 mpg.
TALL DRIVERS PAY ATTENTION. Headroom. I just test drove one yesterday. I’m 6’2” and EVERY car or truck I’ve owned before required me to crunch my neck down to get my head in the door, or to see traffic lights through the windshield. Not at all with this thing. Oh, and I can walk standing upright without crouching below the fully open tailgate.
I bought 2020 xlt cargo and i drive lots. .its 2.0l GDI. My 90% hwy 10% city drive is avg 8l /100km . I'm near 90.000km on it and 8 months since new .Really good made van drives well. ..but i wonder where is diesel version? .
@Ken K seats are ok ..I spend 8h to 12 h a day driving hwys I make bunch short stops through out city . ...so for this type driving seats adequately designed. Seating position is typical a car feel . I have 2012 connect as well but this older model seating position is better ...you seat much higher. (I wish my newer one is same as older model taller van ) Winter driving is very good ...i had fair share of bad weather blizzard deep snow and all ...Good winter tires and smart driving van preformed well .Fuel economy is excellent ....i drive safe and respect posted speeds(pro driver ) ...it returns about 8l per 100km Monday to Friday ...i done under couple times 7.4 l but slower drive. if im little rush it does around 9.4l .i track all my fuel expenses...all is accurate information.I have electric car so learned great deal about energy use..and how to drive to maximize range ....works for gas models too exception of regen braking .

According to Tall Life this is hands down the absolute best for a tall driver
The coolest van ever

Do the back seats recline?

I like mine just fine.
Absolutely love my XLT

Do you still have it? What's the mileage on it if you don't mind me asking? Just want to see how long these cars last
Great review
Thanks!!!
does anyone know if the passenger wagon has the same ceiling height as the cargo van?
Is this the short or long wheel base?
LWB. Source: I have one too.
i could see myself getting the cams and intake from a fiesta st and making it 200 horse power within the first month after the warranty runs out
My brother have this car.. But hotwheels version🤣
No CD player back to eighty
Toasty!!
So this is the new Aerostar? You've gotta be kidding me.
