    "The Ford Tourneo Connect offers far more space than a Ford C-MAX, yet is several thousand pounds cheaper."

    I hired one in Austria over Xmas. It was a 7-seater diesel ( I think it was the Platinum edition) with all conceivable extras - it carried 6 of us and luggage (including skis and boots for 2 passengers) comfortably. It was roomy, quiet and and quite rapid (not sure what the engine size was) for such a big car. It hid it's van roots very well - I was truly very impressed with this car and how it coped with a lot of luggage, people, varied road conditions (incl snow) and proved very economical (average 7.0l/100km)..

    I sat in one of these at the dealership the other day as I was waiting for my van to be serviced. I think my next company van will be the new transit connect as I'm currently driving the 2010 version of it.
    I think practicality is the keyword here. It offers a nice amount of space. Everything was nicely built and practical, but it definitely doesn't offer anything for the car enthusiast.
    One thing that caught my eye (compared to the old transit/tourneo connect) was that the dashboard was very deep. In addition to the sloping bonnet, it was very difficult to judge where the front corners of the car are. Front parking sensors are not even a factory option (at least in Finland).

    Hired one of these, a silver 7 seater long version in three U.S, apart from a few annoying rattle/squeak noises it was very good, spacious & with a smooth engine, not the most powerful, & did about 30mpg which is better than a few other cars we have had there, although it seemed to drink the regular unleaded quicker whereas the plus & premium grades, premium especially it did noticeably better

    @ 5:38. Whilst it's a fact (just by observing traffic) that a significant proportion of drivers on British roads would fail the standard beginners drivers test simply because they do not drive at safe distances from the front vehicle. And taking your hands completely of the wheel ( 5:38) would be an instant driving test failure ( car review or not).
    Though of course ( as research has shown) the average UK driver thinks their a safer/better driver than the average. That's narcissism for ya folks ;-) .
    Of course don’t listen to driving “experts” (driving test instructors) ,scientists ( climate environmental/change) or any other people whom have gained qualifications in any specific area as Joe blogs (politics in general) always thinks it knows better.

    It definetly beats the Citroen Berlingo when it comes to pure practical uglyness.
    A van is not a car and people buying vans and then call it a car, definetly can't be called car enthousiasts.
    Still, even if you have no taste at all and what something that is easy to move big boxes from A to B, I don't see why you should go for this one. It reminds me in some way of the Austin Allegra, desperatly trying to be a better, more stylish car then it actually was.
    And speaking of that car, what a shit color is this? Is it back 1974 or what?

    • @Ioanides001
      @Ioanides001 10 лет назад

      you said it first - this is not a car for enthusiasts. not one for status conscious either. if you see cars just as means of transportation that need to be roomy, economical and practical - this looks like the car to buy. I don;t know anyone like that, though...

    • @Ioanides001
      @Ioanides001 9 лет назад

      ***** enthusiasm is not snobbery. your examples don't work either because if you didn;t care about the comfort and aspects of a house you could have shared an apartment with some strangers. instead of a banana you can eat some vitamins from a tube.
      everything is a matter of choice and taste, to say the least.

    • @Ioanides001
      @Ioanides001 9 лет назад

      ***** cost effective is public transportation or an old car or a bicicle. if new car is a must that Dacia Logan is the best choice in terms of cost efficiency.
      if you need more than transport for less, the whole thing starts...

  • @fencingcoach3w
    @fencingcoach3w 5 лет назад

    I have one of these, after 1 years motoring here's my thoughts, would I buy again? NO and I'll never buy another Ford again and here's why, but first some good points:
    Good points - Load carrying capacity, durability, economy, drivability, seating position, overhead storage shelf and optional lockers.
    Bad points - The way the van's software assumes you are a child, trying to wrap you in a health and safety blanket, VERY long waits (3-4 weeks) for Ford dealership in Sheffield to put issues right.
    For instance, you put the van in reverse gear when it's raining, the rear wiper comes on all of its own, the radio partially mutes - WHY OH WHY? Wholly counter productive, unexpected movement in your visual field DEMANDS immediate attention, distracting you from navigating into a parking slot, potentially triggering an emergency stop and possibly causing a crash. If your capable of driving backwards while listening to a passenger say or a radio, perfectly within most peoples driving ability by partly muting the radio Ford are inviting the driver to concentrate on what's coming out of the speakers and thereby reducing the driver's remaining cognitive capacity for the action of reversing!!! Same outcome as the wiper issue, i.e. MORE likelihood of something going wrong. Another issue, on TWO separate occasions this van has tried to KILL me, the limp home mode abruptly cut power while I was avoiding accidents when i) a car driver pulled out of a side road and ii) a cyclist tried to get himself under my wheels. In both these instances I had to make very similar similar and rapid inputs to break and steering wheel then the power cut, luckily there wasn't any other traffic around or I could have been in a world of hurt. This limp home mode left me with a crippled van for the best part of a month while Ford dealer could fit me in their busy workshop. Very very bad position for a self employed person who relies on the vehicle to earn a crust.

      @Matelot123 8 лет назад +1

      +Shanjan Usman I have a 5008 and am thinking of getting one of these instead. the rearmost seats on the 5008 are far too small for anyone bigger than a small child. I need more room and frankly this car will do the job. I advise anyone not to buy the 5008 if you are looking for an MPV as it is too small to be used as a seven seater regularly. If you have lots of children to transpoprt, elegance is near the bottom of the shopping list. :)
