2019 Ford Transit Connect offers average reliability for its segment. Most owners report routine maintenance costs with occasional issues that are typical for vehicles in this class.
2019 Ford Transit Connect meets standard safety benchmarks for its class. It includes the essential active and passive safety systems expected at this price point, though it does not lead the segment.
