We have a 2018 Subaru Outback Premium which we are very happy with, but with our kids getting bigger every day, I think about upgrading in size but don't want a full-size minivan. So the Transit Connect Wagon (we're looking at the LWB passenger wagon as a family vehicle, not commercial) appeals to me since it has virtually the same footprint as the Outback but more internal space. Just soliciting opinions from current TC Wagon owners if you're so inclined to share your experience and talk us into joining the TC owner community.
The most important features we like about our Outback that we would lose with a TC are all-wheel drive (we live outside of Chicago) and the 8" touch screen head unit (TC only has 6.5", kind of nitpicky but makes a difference for my middle-aged eyes). I really like the ride of our Outback and the interior fit and finish--I will be test driving a TC soon to compare, but I've read/seen mixed reviews online about its comfort. I'm also concerned hearing that they are discontinuing the TC in the U.S. next year.
Appreciate any input and Happy New Year!
