D'oh! I forgot about the Mazda5 ... I need to get that review video done, the tape's been sitting on my desk for too long. Interesting little critter, that one.

Counter-intuitive thing about the Transit Connect ... I got better highway mileage with the windows down-A/C off then I did with the windows up-A/C on. I'd like to test that one again.

That said, Ford really needs to bring a diesel version. And pop on some LRR tires perhaps, while they're at it.

Nice ladder. I have the smaller 17' Little Giant. Yours folds up to under 8' right? I believe you can fit that inside a Honda Fit with the front passenger seat folded flat. The idea of a Transit Connect is also a good one. Or any minivan, or even the sub-minivan Mazda 5. The new Ford Explorer 2.0T is rated 28 highway I believe.
