seems like almost everyone on here with the Connect uses it as a work/delivery van, anyone out there use it in the wagon model for the family? Look about the same size as the Escape but it appears to be cheaper. I want to upgrade my wife's ride from a 2003 Buick Rendezvous to a Ford. I was thinking a nice used TC would get better mileage and be big enough.

 

I think you'd be happy with that. Plan on some sound insulation & upgraded stereo. I would use mine for a family vehicle in a minute. It'll have 200K on it next year when it comes off of lease & I think that'll be a bit much to keep it.

 

I just bought a 2012 XLT Transit Connect for family use.
