* what are the xenon's like at night
* how do you go with the proximity key - never used one before, curious how you find it
* how well the parking sensors work - blind spots - difficult to see areas, etc.
* anything else that annoys you in the car
* things missing you think it should have
* comfort on long drives
I have had mine for just over 2 months & done 5000k

Turning Circle is not that good but u get use to it! I don’t do 3 point turns often The ride is firm but that's how I like it!

Adaptive cruise is the best tech on the car! I use it heaps!

Xenon's don't seem much different to any other car that I have had! Cornering lights are good & day running lights are good.

Push start & keyless entry is great! Keys are now a pain when I jump in our other car.

Parking sensors are good! No probs to date

Can’t think of anything Ford have missed !

I have done four 4 hour trips in it to date & it was great fun to drive (looking forward to my next trip to the bush)

My last trip: Adelaide-Mildura-Adelaide on a tank of diesel with some to spare.
6.1/100km with a strong head wind on the return leg. Fuel economy & the powershift are improving with more km on the clock
