Default Transit connect - anyone used one?

I need a van for Saturday and I'm thinking hat maybe a Transit connect will do the job, however having never looked in one I dont know how big they are inside the rear loading area. I dont want a SWB Transit as I think this will be too big.

I'm moving my ex's stuff which she has quite a lot of, but I dont want it to get damaged by moving about (got a flat screen tv etc) so the smaller the better really so that it doesnt all move about in the back.

So if anyone has any experience of a Transit connect then please share it here on the loading size

Thanks.

I work as a driver for Lothian NHS, we have a Transit Connect for collecting waste bags, they are surprisingly spacious....2 side opening doors and a nice flat load area...the front passenger seat cushion tips up and the backrest folds down to make more space....
