A welcome addition to Ford's commercial range when it arrived in 2002, the Connect quickly established itself as the motoring writers' favourite —until a certain German came along. And all the attributes that had us praising it from the start are still in evidence today.
You get a thorough, heavy duty design, excellent build quality, a smart and practical interior and competitive load area. This ranges tram 625kg to 900kg for the payload and 2.8m3 for the SWB and 3.7m3 for the LWB when it comes to load volume. Powering the Connect is a 1.8-litre unit available with or without commonrail technology, producing 74hp and 89hp respectively.
And it drives more like a well-sorted hatch than an everyday load carrier. It feels composed whatever the road layout, turning incisively and absorbing any undulations and humps. Inside you get a well laid out interior and excellent driving position.
