PIcked up my new AWD EX Premium yesterday. Have about 150 miles on it now. Impressions below.
- Car is perfect, all seams are good. No buzz anywhere.
- Drives amazing. Stiff ride that my wife noticed but I think it is just tuned that way. Very planted.
- Heavier car - I notice it when braking at a red light.
- Displays are nice - I learned them very quickly and can get what I need.
- Phone streaming music sounds better than Sirius XM
- Great Android Auto integration, works every time
- Had to reload phone once, otherwise good.
- All other profiles no problem
- Tires inflated by dealer about 8 PSI over max for some reason
- Very attractive car from any angle!
Not so good - the Ford Pass App is a hot mess! Worked with dealer who has also been frustrated by it. Not even going to bother with PaaK. Amazing they can build such a great car with such a lousy app - so much potential there!
Not so good #2 - Had a "Check Vehicle" box blocking half the instrument cluster on our drive out to dinner tonight. App said there was a drivetrain problem. Had already texted my salesman when we got to the restaurant. I was not noticing any problem. Came out after dinner, warning gone and car was fine. Strange.
Bought a Heatshield brand custom sunshade for the front. Taking out the flimsy cover under the back hatch. Adding a padded custom carpet from Lloyds for the back - I think the carpeting covering that piece of plywood or whatever it is looks cheap and is already a little loose in the front. Color #118 matches the side carpet in the back (ebony). Also ordered a Ford hood deflector which I will have them install. Will take out frunk divider when I have the time.
Have not had to charge yet but will try soon. Really enjoying the car. All ambient lighting is cool, especially the pony puddle lights.
