Note: This preview doesn't include the Transit Connect Van.

Pros: The 2014 Ford Transit Connect Wagon basically takes the torch left by the Freestar minivan in 2007. Its convenient size makes driving through traffic easier, while the interior offers seating for up to seven along with tremendous versatility. A selection of fuel-efficient engines and modern technologies will attract buyers, while the short turning radius and easygoing nature will please drivers.

Cons: In this people-hauler segment, the Transit Connect Wagon's MSRP is pretty high. Furthermore, styling is a case of function over form, so polarized reactions are expected.

2014 Ford Transit Connect Wagon Price: There are three trim levels on the menu including XL at $30,499, XLT at $31,899, and Titanium at $35,699.
