Anyone have a Ford Transit Connect?

I have an original year Element (2003) and dread the day I'll have to replace it. I should have many more years to come with just under 80k on it now. A short commute and riding my bike to work in warmer weather helps.

The Transit had some potential until I realized there were no seats for the dogs in back. The Nissan NV line looks interesting.

We had over 125K miles on our '04 Element when we sold it. Would have driven it for many more if we hadn't moved out of the country. You should have many more years with yours!

We have looked at the Nissan NV as well. It's still on our list of possibilities, but apparently sales have been abysmal, and thus resale values are in the toilet. Also, since they are classified as commercial trucks, they are not required to disclose their MPG, but we read in one forum that the high-roof model might get as low as 11 mpg. Might as well get an RV for that kind of mileage. Not good for lots of traveling....

The hunt goes on!
