Ford Tourneo Connect MPV 2014 review - Carbuyer

My god! to buy a pile of junk like this, you really have given up on life.

I would still call it a van, not a minivan. I'd just call it a small passenger van.

I wouldn't buy anything like this. There are more elegant cars like the Mercedes Benz B Class and or the Peugeot 5008 and the British made Nissan Note.

Why the hell would you buy the five seater version!! The only Tourneo Connect MPVs Ford will sell will be the 7 seater versions. 

Great review, I am considering this as my next vehicle. Just a quick q, why is it an MPV and does that affect road fund or business tax benefits? 

Love the car XD

BEST MINIVAN!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great car,but i'll wait for Dacia's Kangoo version,much cheaper and less complicated.[for enthousiasm i got my TRX850...]

According to a recent survey French cars are second most reliable cars in UK. Check by typing on google "relibility index Japanese French top brands"

Please make a Renault Kangoo rivew!!!

I bought one today, the Titanium version and for a very good price. Ok it's not gonna win any beauty contest but i drive a cab and for me this is the perfect car to do the job. 

In America the Ford Torneo Connect is called the Ford Trnsit Connect

Always buyers review from british review , ford brand is one of most unreliable and often gives problem like my fiesta....huhuhuhu

Make a review of the new fiat dobló please!! you have already tested the tourneo and the partner/Berlingo, i think that the dobló is one of the best mpv that you can buy,thanks!!!

Does it have halogen headlights?

could you do the grand connect review

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

Can anyone tell me if the second row of 3 seats remove in the Grandwhen bought as an option with 5 seatsI  want a grand but with 5 seats the second row of 3 do not remove in the usual 7 seater they do in the 5 seat version I want to order a 5 seat grandin the grand when in comes with 7 seats the second row of 3 seats do not remove they recess into the floor partially to match up with backs of the folded 3 row(the 2 seats at the back)they are not removable i would not have a flat foorbut they are in the 5 seater and as I want a 5 seater grand I am trying to find out what type of second row I will have?can you believe 3 different ford dealers 5 sales men and ford themselves after 10 min on the phone don't know

Good think about this car , in UK is pretty cheap  Insurance  for 1.6 diesel and is economic considering that different car makes doing engines over 2 L or inside looking like some old van . I am looking forward to buying this one ,for me is the best looking MPV .however the seven seater is a bit too big like for me.

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)..

The new tourneo connect 2018 please?

100. Yorum ve 800. Like

This car is so tall, I want one for my dogs

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.

This would make a great hot hatch!

are we going to get another bullsjit story or are we going to get a basic entry level PRICE ?????   talk to me dude?. Im 70 this year and have cycled all over the world . all across Europe. Looks like rather than spending all day online searching for mystery prices I may as well buy another TREK MTB and doggie Hut trailer ~~@x!##@!!

For this comment, no positives or negatives are featured.

I can almost stand up in here!

Lemmy: I can REALLY stand up in here! Best! MPV! Ever!

Great for FUNERALS!

In Ukrein ths is tape kar no hev!

Bit Ford bias

Hola buenos días cuento el precio

Excellent first car I might add. Most Connect MPVs are cheap on the used market, parts and maintenance are cheap too and there's plenty of space in the back for... stuff.
