That's why they build it. It's bigger than most of the minivans (taller) and at the same time you get a ton of flexibility. Buying new or used make sure to fight on price because this is "hard to sell" model so ask for 20-30% less than asking price and most likely you will get a deal.
I drove one, under powered, seats are not removable. I had a 2017 Transit Connect with a 2.5 engine and 6 speed trans, It ran much better and got 30 mpg on highway at 70 mph. Also the seats were removable.
