Comfort
Due to its greater rear head- and legroom, backseat passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Ford Transit Connect than the Mercedes-Benz E-Class.
The Ford Transit Connect will be a favorite with taller drivers due to its greater front head- and legroom than the Mercedes-Benz E-Class.
Convenience
With the Mercedes-Benz E-Class you will definitely be making less frequent stops at the gas station than with the Ford Transit Connect, due to its tank size and fuel economy.
Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). Based on MSRP, the Ford Transit Connect is clearly a better financial choice over the Mercedes-Benz E-Class.
Another consideration is the Destination Charge, which is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle to the dealer from where it's built. The Destination Charge for the Ford Transit Connect is much higher than that for the Mercedes-Benz E-Class.

Handling
The Ford Transit Connect has a larger turning radius than the Mercedes-Benz E-Class, making it slightly more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Powertrain
The Ford Transit Connect has much less torque than the Mercedes-Benz E-Class, which generally means that it won't feel as fast or powerful.
Utility

Warranty
