The 2014 Ford Transit Connect Wagon was delivered to my house with “#Unminivan” sprawled across the sides and back, but while this funky little European convert doesn’t feel look the part of a traditional American minivan – it offers all of the functionality of a proper minivan and the pleasant driving characteristics of a small sedan.

The minivan has garnered a negative reputation in the United States similar to that of the old station wagon, with only “soccer moms” who care about nothing but getting her 4 rambunctious children from point a to point b so with the Transit Connect, Ford is working to avoid being grouped in with the rest of the shrinking minivan segment. To drive that point home, Ford has gone so far as to come up with the “Unminivan” marketing campaign even though the 2014 Transit Connect Wagon even though the features and capabilities of this uniquely designed vehicle would cater to the same types of people who need a minivan.
