Fifty150 Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 The proportions also make the Transit Connect Wagon look like something dredged up from the bottom of the sea—a boxfish that grew wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fifty150 Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Did any of us buy this car for the way it looks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fifty150 Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Finally, there’s the Transit Connect’s appearance. Subjective, we know, but it looks fairly dorky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrtn Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 (edited) I did, partially, it's the best looking of city vans. Fiat Doblo/RAM Promaster City/Opel Combo: MB Citan/Renault Kangoo: Citroen Berlingo/Peugeot Partner Nissan NV200 (ugh): These are the options over here. Just recently the new Citroen Jumpy/Peugeot Traveller/Toyota ProAce was introduced, this has some nicer lines. It's larger tho: Edited November 8, 2016 by mrtn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G B L Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 One other reason is the side slider on the LWB is 7 inches longer. I is the only van that does not use the same side door for both models Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tcconvert Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 I bought mine because I like the way I look in it. Like a peanut in a shoebox. My wife also calls it a hearse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Osco Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 I looked at all those pictures above and to me they all look far more, 'Dorkier' than the transit. I bought mine for three reasons, 1. I needed that low rear loading deck, took out the third row seats, 2. The ford 2.5L 4 banger engine, Basically been around forever in the rangers, I trust It. 3. The price, felt like I stole It, New was $29,000 actual selling price was $27700 Got mine eleven months old and with 20,000 miles for $16,000 It Is serving my needs perfectly.. Besides, If I feel the need to look cool or Impress someone I take my Candy Red Pony car :P, Paid for,,It's mine ~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrtn Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 My relative has just bought the Traveller, almost fully loaded at €39K. The few things missing were the auto box, seat ventilation and lane assist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loafer Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Mrtn, tanks for the pics This is clear evidence that public tastes are changing. We will likely see an explosion of these vehicles on the roads. My son gets lots of complements as he travels from place to place. His is a 2012 SWB missing one wheel cover It's a camper in a can mrtn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fifty150 Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 I haven't heard any compliments. I live in The City. These vans are everywhere. A large majority are operated for business purposes. Very few private passenger wagons. I think that the commercial vehicle buyer is more interested in these vans, than the average person who usually steers towards SUV and larger vans like the Dodge Caravan, Honda Odyssey, and Toyota Sienna. None of my friends or family have even thought about this van/wagon. When they think of Ford Vans, they think of plumbers, and airport shuttles.

G B L Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 The reason i first looked at the TC was the Barn Doors, All the other small passenger vans did not have this option. The second thing I checked was how hard it was to change the headlight bulbs!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loafer Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 A dork def: someone or something that is stupid, slow witted, awkward, peculiar, unfashionable, inept and a penis. Do you think this reflects on the driver too Hmmmmmmm.....Nah! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some cars require you to do things like jack it up, remove the tire, remove the wheel well............while others require you to remove the bumper, remove the grille, then remove the headlight On 8/11/2017 at 8:32 PM, G B L said: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G B L Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 I already own one of those,never again! So when it came time for the TC I checked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
