    I've heard that the Ford Transit Connect are a pretty rough ride. If you are used to a passenger vehicle, the switch to a cargo vehicle can seem pretty harsh--ride and noise.

    What about one of those boxy things--I don't know what they are called but the hamsters (or are they rats?) drive them in the ads.

    And since I am used to a beach bike on unpaved gravel and cobblestone roads, I expect the Transit Connect would not feel too rough a ride.

    Not sure about the "boxy things" -- have not seen that ad.

    I think the boxy things in the commercials are made by Kia.

    I binged "Kia box" and found this from a few years ago
