Jesus flippin' christ don't get the Ford Transit Connect. Absolutely not a cold weather vehicle. We have one in our service fleet (Fire Alarm tech in Winnipeg) and the low ground clearance and poor visibility make it a terrible choice in the winter. Plus, the hood opens via key but key hole is covered with a Ford bezel which freezes shut and subsequently shatters rendering the whole thing inoperable. Gets hung up on ruts -all- the time, is completely gutless and has problems with its door sensors. The door-close sensors are mounted on plastic inserts that lose elasticity and break when it's cold/when they're used too much. Then the stupid thing turns on your 4 ways letting you know the door is open, so you can never signal turns until you fix the problem.

If you end up getting the Taco put some sandbags over the rear axle.
