Ford Transit Connect

Easy to drive, practical and well-equipped as standard, the Ford Transit Connect is one of the best all-rounders in the small van market. Admittedly, it can't match the payload of the Vauxhall Combo or Peugeot Partner, but it still has enough in its locker to nudge its way to the front of the small van pack

Really nice van I have the short wheel bace version, drive's well and is really comfortable to. The only problem I have with the van is the fact you can only fit an 8x4 sheet of ply diagonally in the back of the van. But otherwise plenti of hight.

Have one of these as part of the fleet. Excellent vehicle and good for the price, always reliable and has good features and available upgrades

i have the long wheel base connect and been far the best van, drives nice and smooth the only negative it how small the middle seat is when you have the passenger seat down i would class it as a 2 setter as you cant get 3 adults in the van comfortably

Love the connect.
An L2 is a must if you intend to work from it.
It drives almost like a car and is very comfy.

Only issue I have is the load through for long lengths of tube etc. You have to drop the passengers seat to use it, even with a middle seat you can’t fit a passenger and use the load through so it’s only good for lone off trips in that respect.
Obviously just get roof bars fitted and all is good!

Had this van 2 years from new. Bought the L1 version but splashed out for a Custom model with sat nav, heated drivers seat and reversing camera. Thought the camera was a gimmick but it is so useful. Well built van that’s easy to use. Probably need the L2 if you want to carry more but the one I’ve got is good enough for me. 1.5 diesel is quick and reasonably cheap to run. A little disappointed that the front tyres have worn quite quickly, I’ve not done big mileage and don’t drive aggressively.

Love mine - I’ve got the L2 with dual sliding doors and the through load where the front seats go down - my only complaint is the satnav/media Center is dated and difficult to use.

Bought one second hand amazing van lovely to drive. Heated seats and heating windscreen is a dream in the winter and cruise control for long journeys is spot on great van plenty of space in the back.

Paid a higher price to get the long wheelbase but I don't think I'll ever go to any other van now. been great and feels great inside the cab.

Had my Connect for 2 years done 60k it’s been brilliant only had one issue the AC gave up ford fixed it but wasn’t the most simple. It’s a small van with lots of space you can get about 10 8x4 sheets in a L2 and the load through seat is brilliant so no need for a roof rack. I have different wheels but still get around 40mpg on a L2 120 Auto

Just bought my first ford and can’t rave about it enough, I have had bigger vans before and got fed up with carrying too much about on it. This van has everything you need and more

Got this van at the beginning of the year and had to go back within 2 months due to an issue with the exhaust, as time has gone on I'm still not happy with my purchase the van looks the part but I find the quality and reliability isn't there like the old connect.

Love mine! I started a lease this year on the L2 version in deep impact Blue, love driving it more than my car! Loads of space I side for all my tools etc, I had a rhino tube put on top to save on space inside. I mainly fit boilers so I carry a fair bit with me plus the odd boiler and all goes in nicely. Great to drive, very comfortable. Its classed as a 3 seater but it's 2 and a half at best definitely wouldn't get 3 blokes in it.. Lol. The version I got has Bluetooth, auto lights, wipers etc plus heated seats, can't fault it so far. If your thinking about getting one go for the L2 version which has the longer wheelbase as it makes a huge difference.

I have a 2010 model and still going strong. Trend model so came with a lot of extras that you would normally get on a car. Has a bulk head so isn’t great if carrying anything long but have a decent roof rack fitted so isn’t a massive issue. When I do eventually change it I will be staying with Ford.

Love this van .I can get 8x4 sheets in the back, 3m lengths in using the extra space under the passenger seat,and both kids in the front.The storage space in the front is well thought out and it has apple car play ,so happy ,it’s better than my wife’s car.

Very good van overall nice layout in the front the storage area is good for a small van but security is very poor had items stolen with no sign of damage big let for this reason

Just bourght one of these brand new for my Apprentice who is nearly qualified. Installed van vault tubes onto it with ease and is nice to drive. Spacious back for all tools, well worth the money

Love it well worth the money and runs like a dream nice smooth drive dose what it says and plenty of room and mine has been boreded out and and there still lots of room love it I recommend

I got one of these, Ford are great, The van has my tank, my purifying system, my 2 poles, gutter vac and all poles, hoses and still plenty of space. The drive is literally just like driving a car, drives well, no struggle in the pull when tank filled up, fast heaters, nice motor.

Brilliant van to drive and even as a passenger is brilliant and comfy it's like sitting in a car with loads of room. The load area in the back is a handful of room for even a joiner has plenty of room left to carry some materials to the job. The dab radio is fantastic for the commute to work and just sitting in the van

Picked up a 2017 Transit Connect from Alan Ford. Very impressed with the cabin, mainly the comfort factor and also the extra toys.

Mine has heated seats, windscreen, sync3 sat nav and AppleCar play, reverse cameras, parking sensors etc.

For the 1.5tdci engine I’m currently getting around 52mpg.

Load space in the rear is exceptional for the L1 size. Comfortably fit all my kit in being an electrician.

The load through area is also extremely handy.

The double passenger seat is ok, I’ve had 2 passengers sat in there and it’s a bit cosy! Not too bad for short journeys.

One of the best compact vans out at the moment! Great drive, good reliabiltiy and spacious enough for what i need. Good on fuel. Mine also has the reversing sensors which are also spot on

Have an 06 transit with 230000 on the clock and still going strong. They just don't build vans like this any more.

Go myself a new connect back in November. Great little van fair play. Plenty of space and can also take a 3 meter length of copper.

I've got one on theses for ,y apprentice and is so good I take it now and then for long runs great van and fast

Have just got the long wheel base version of this van and I don't know how I managed to fit all my gear in my last van. This has so much more space, even with the racking I can easily get boilers and pipes in. Very comfortable to drive, has loads of features, love the dab radio and heated drivers seat. Only niggle is why couldn't they have made the slide through hatch lower so you don't have to fold front seat down to get pipes in.

Excellent little van, surpirsingly spacious in the back and loads of storage in the cab. Drives really well and looks good.

Excellent small van for plumbing and heating engineers, with fold down front seat that gives the option to load 3mtr lengths through.
Well fitted out with cruise control, air con, reversing camera, Bluetooth and Dab radio.
Averaging around 45 to gallon mostly on 35 mile commute.

Absoloutly the best van i have even driven. Its like being in a car. Love it !

Recently got one of these and I must say I should have bought one years ago. Best van about

Best van I have ever had ,at last a van that's as nice as a car to drive with all the extras

Fantastic little van. Has useful features for tradesmen such as dropdown office table and load through hatch that even on a short wheelbase, you can get aa 3m length of pipe in. With a decent load, I still get 45+ mpg.

To be honest we don't lug around much in the back of the van but as a branded vehicle to commute to work in it's a great little van. Only thing for me is the passenger seats say you can get two in there but it's a one and a half seater really .. not made for three people unless one goes in the back #martin

Pretty impressed with the 2016 l2 model
Nice features throughput easy to drive almost like a car ,enough power .plenty of pockets/overhead storage,and the slide through feature for longer lengths of timber ie plenty of loads space in the back
