Ford Transit Connect

[John Shutler]

got a fair bit of driving to do in the coming months, and could do with another vehicle for quoting surveying etc so im considering the above

what are they like to drive, fuel efficiency etc

cheers

I have heard that fuel efficiency is nothing like as good as some of the other small vans, how ever it is a bit bigger than other small vans.

About the same mpg as a Transit, so I was led to believe. But then it was one of the top end ones.

 

Send Aaronmj a PM. He has one and will be able to give you first hand info.

My Peugeot Partner was a fantastic little beast. 47mpg on a run and about 42 around town (I really miss that now with the LR), really comfy - I did 7k in 9 months. Cheap to buy, cheap to run and did the job I miss the sooty van sometimes!

 

 

My old man has a Transit Connect for his lads at work, he reckons its second only to the VW Caddy though, I liked it when I have driven it

I test drove one when I was looking for a small van John, like Tom said, MPG isnt as good as most little vans and for me it just didn't drive very well at all,

 

I got a 56reg Berlingo, drove loads better and the MPG is awesome. Far better than my mondeo tdci I had before .

 

Have a drive of a few different ones and you'll soon see which you prefer mate

They are ok to drive, just under 40mpg. The sun does come through the middle of the windscreen between the sun visors as the screen is quite big which is abit of a pain

[John Shutler]

usefull stuff, thanks

[Aaron]

done a few miles in one, will second the sun between the visors, very annoying, bit noisy but i worked out it cost about 16p a mile to run, which i thought was good. Generally thought it was a half decant van and there cheap.

got one from work just now going by its own computer its doing 39 mpg thats the average over 10,000 miles not the worst to drive tbh got back seats in and you can really tell the difference when 4 up only problem when it lost power turned out to be a broken -well bent throttle pedal!!!!
