Ford Transit Connect
This small van brought over from Europe has quickly won over the Canadian market. The secret to its success is surprisingly simple: a 2.0L 4-cylinder engine, good cabin space and reasonable exterior measurements. The Transit Connect comes as a cargo van or passenger vehicle (with back seats). The only transmission available is a 4-speed automatic. Several companies have made the Transit Connect their corporate vehicle, appreciating the space provided for logos on the side panels.
