I've just replaced my VW Caddy with a Ford Transit Connect 2014, slightly off topic as you were asking about the full fat transit. But  I can say the new series transits are a massive improvement on the old model.
I suspect the connect is Focus based,  it is far superior to the Caddy. Very quiet, fantastic 6 speed manual, the dash is superb, the sound system is second to none SYNC voice activated USB/ Phone, USB, where you can select tracks from the iPhone, voice activated phone dialling . Spent the first week riding around in 4 th gear on the motorway as its so quiet. Steering must be electric as its so easy to manoeuvre .
Go and test drive, makes the Beemers feel dated. Good lookers too

But can they still crack Warp 9.9?

Unfortunately I find with the 90 PS engine it's not a throw you back in the seat sort of performance, and does suffer from turbo lag somewhat, but compared to the competition it's a good all rounder, and being a ford, should be bulletproof.
As mentioned in my previos post, pretty impressive for a van

im going to arrange a test drive, just had mine painted again on rusty bits as looks bad imo, so un sure on weather to try and get till march out of it or swap in september as previously planned, problem is its a 16-20 week wait on the custom sport
