Vehicle Highlights
The 2010 Ford Transit Connect van is making its North American debut. Based on a design sold in several worldwide markets, Transit Connect can seat two, four, or five passengers. It has minivan-like sliding rear-side doors and two rear "barn doors" similar to a commercial van. Transit Connect is front-wheel drive and comes in XL and XLT trim levels. The sole powertrain teams a 136-hp 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine with a 4-speed automatic transmission. Available safety features include ABS, traction control, antiskid system, and front side airbags. Some of the commercial-friendly features on the Transit Connect include an in-dash computer with Internet access and available printer, a tool inventory system, and a vehicle-tracking device for fleet users.
COMPETITION
Consumer Guide Automotive places each vehicle into one of 18 classes based on size, price, and market position. Long the choice as a family hauler, Minivans are easily the smartest use of space for passengers and cargo. These vehicles offer a fantastic blend of comfort, convenience, and safety features for the modern family.
Our Best Buys are the Chrysler Town and Country, Dodge Grand Caravan, and Honda Odyssey. Our Recommended picks are the Toyota Sienna and Volkswagen Routan.
New for 2010 is the Ford Transit Connect.
