2011 Ford Transit Connect Review

MPGomatic.com puts a 2011 Ford Transit Connect to work over a week-long test drive. [ Full Review: http://www.mpgomatic.com/2011/10/11/2011-ford-transit-connect-review/ ]

We rolled up over 400 miles in our Transit Connect XLT Premium Wagon. The 2.0-liter inline four cylinder Duratech engine produces 136 horsepower (HP) and 128 foot pounds of torque.

The only options were a rear view camera ($470) and reverse sensing system ($280)

MSRP was $23,200. Options, destination and delivery brought the total to $24,015.00.

MPGomatic produces car reviews videos with a unique focus on gas mileage, in-cabin technology, and driveability. Yep, we're the folks that shoot those 0-60 MPH tests.

Dan, so are you not doing reviews of every car you 0-60 now?

[mpgomatic]

@bg1379 The aim is still a full review of every vehicle that rolls in the driveway. I have a backlog of tape on the desk. Post-production takes a significant amount of time and it's been snowballing ... I should have the Charger and Optima out next.

Dan, you're awesome. Your reviews are enjoyable, and your sense of humor really shines through. Keep up the great work!

[mpgomatic]

@ihategeneralmotors Thanks for the kind words and support! :)

What video editing software do you use? I'm pretty sure it's easy to add a timer for the 0-60 in any professional editor.

@ynkno13 Final Cut.

Btw there is a TurboDiesel version with smaller displacement but more torque in EU,not sure about US.

[truebassB]

Great european specs van,that's what we have here in europe too,aswell with huge Transits that also have the 2.0 engine,kind of slow 0-60 but i don't care.

The small 2.0 with the FWD offers great economy and makes you jealous no RWD,what else can i say? They are just too great and pretty!!!

Although Ford could put one of their 2.0 Turbo engines on it and make it a little bit more eager to breath when you touch the acceleration pedal.

What a strange way to open the hood, reminds me of an 88 caprice trunk...

This vehicle is essentially designed for those who run a small business. Now, if you don't have the luxury to get a big truck or van; this'll do.

the headlights and grille look like theyre off the older fusions

[Xboxlivemgear]

Get one and turn it into a love wagon. Complete with a disco ball, large speakers to play funk music, and shag carpeting. You'd need to atleast turbocharge it if you plan on adding that waterbed.

Great review, and massively impressive van! 28MPG!
