The 2010 Ford Transit Connect is one of the few vehicles other than full-size vans "specifically developed as a commercial vehicle," notes Autoblog. That makes it both distinctive, boxy-and unlike almost any other vehicle today.
Leftlane News says the 2010 Ford Transit Connect displays "little of the swoopy pizzazz of the Fiesta or Mondeo," although it's worth noting that for commercial vehicles, form invariably follows function. Many reviews comment on the attention it attracts, with ConsumerGuide asserting it "doesn't look like anything else on the road." Motor Trend concludes the Transit Connect "will do the style- and efficiency-conscious business owner proud."
Inside, Leftlane News calls the Transit Connect "pretty ritzy by commercial vehicle standards," although Consumer Guide criticizes the "Spartan interior materials." But then it is, after all, a commercial vehicle.
Conclusion
The 2010 Ford Transit Connect won't be bought on the basis of its styling, which is functional and purposeful without being primitive.
