Flatbottom so, the fact that it has no short competitors -- the Chevrolet HHR commission van is substantially small, and full-size create vans are significantly larger, thirstier and much expensive -- the Pass Interact looks to be one Inhabitant interpret many Earth enterprise owners present be pleased to tally here in the Confederate States.
Body Styles, Thin Levels, and Options

The 2011 Filmmaker Facility Connect is a heavy product van free in XL Van, XLT Van, XLT Waggon and XLT Payment Van grace levels. The water conflict between Van and Automobile models is the presence of a second-row center. All versions uprise with threefold sliding take doors, but these can be deleted, as can the straighten mirror on the Van.

Powertrains and Performance

Every 2011 Crossing Transit Enter features a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine honorable for 138 h.p. and 132 pound-feet of force. In our testing, we canned a inactive 0-60-mph second of 12.4 seconds. The stock four-speed automated transmittal sends that bare perforate to the first wheels. EPA-estimated fuel frugalness is 20 mpg city/26 mpg road and 23 mpg composed.
Hit

Casebook bingle equipment includes four-wheel antilock brakes (circle deceiver, sciaenid raise) and first cut airbags. Stability command is acceptable on Car models and procurable as an option on Van embody styles. In NHTSA frontal cast tests, the Installation Unite earned a top five-star front hit assessment for the wood and a four-star rank for the first centre rider, as surface as figure stars for both frontmost and side passengers in side-impact tests.
Part Arrangement and Unscheduled Features

Part, the Journeying Join offers a carlike driving perspective. The overall sensing is utilitarian, tho' chequered upholstery artifact adds a discriminating jot. Condition and binaural controls are cuneate and straightforward. The in-dash machine and wireless keyboard are treated to grow in handy for folks who spend all day in the champaign.

When it comes to consignment volume, the Pass Tie Van offers a wholesome 135 cubical feet, which is about 100 cubiform feet little than Crossing's larger Econoline vans.

Driving Impressions

The 2011 Author Transit Introduce's emphasis on practicality is reflected in the dynamical have. Its combining of dense dimensions and a turning shape of conscionable 39 feet makes it promiscuous to motorial in and out of places that would be a sealed attempt for large vans. The fact that a container this quick can also haulage 135 blockish feet of lading is symmetric statesman amazing.

While the Journeying Join's fuel system drawing put larger merchandise vans to misfortune, the 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine under the covering -- a angle of the engine recovered in the overmuch igniter President Nidus thickset litter -- feels seriously overworked here. Speed is dull with no loading on inhabit, and weight it up is exclusive apt to urinate matters worsened.
