Hi Tom and John, I like the Transit as well. I like the body design Squarish vehicles have tons of usable space. It's like it's big brother, the Mercedes-built Chrysler "Sprinter" in design, but much more practical size-wise. My car has almost 200k miles on it and it's almost time to cough up some cash for a new vehicle...

It looks like a pretty good option, and I would also consider one. I don't know if I'd want to use this as both a work vehicle and a family vehicle. I prefer a sedan for family use, but wouldn't want to have all that money tied up in two vehicles when one will do both functions. Most of my work involves a lot of driving, so the better the MPG, the lower the operating cost. I'll drive 30-90 miles round trip depending on the area in which I'm working that day. -- JF On Sat, Apr 24, 2010 at 7:31 PM, Tom Driscoll <tomtuner at verizon.net> wrote: John, Midlife crisis aside---- Because the only way I can have one now is if I live to 115 ! We kicked around this topic a few months back and I'm still intrigued by the Ford Transit. I think it will be available in either hybrid or straight electric in the future but mileage is pretty good as is. I'm all for conservancy as a life model but my service area is very compact and high gas mileage is not an imperative . I drove 32 miles on friday in my Hyundai SanteFe for three service calls . Thats two gallons tops ( under $6) Anyway ,I like the look and practicality of the Ford Transit and will consider one when my present vehicle quits. http://www.fordvehicles.com/transitconnect/ Tom D. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
