We have had a Transit Connect Wagon (Long Wheelbase) for six months. We bought it to replace a Ford Focus Wagon that we used as our tandem hauler, which let us haul the bike inside if we took both wheels off. We don't have a garage, and one of the selling points for the Transit Wagon was that all of the rear seats fold down to create a flat load area. We used the Transit on a trip to ETR, and we easily fit all of our luggage and the bike inside with all of the seats folded down. For hauling the bike on short trips, we only have to fold 1/3 of the second row to have the bike fit. We use a Saris Traps Triple Track with a fork mount and a holder for the front wheel. We attached velcro strips to the bottom of the Triple Track and it holds tight to the floor covering. We mount the bike (a Calfee) diagonally with the rear wheel just beside the front passenger seat next to the door, and the seat can still be pushed back a comfortable distance for front leg room. Very easy to get the bike in and out, and it is great to have the bike upright with the rear wheel attached. The Transit Connect Wagon does exactly what we wanted in tandem hauler, and is fun to drive too. Very satisfied with the purchase. The two pictures show the bike in the back with 1/3 of the second row folded down, and fully loaded for our ETR trip.
