Made in Japan and you are not worthy to race with me pal. Milk comes in two litres.Yeah ... so do elephants!!!On a serious note - how about a forum dedicated to "Suggestion Box"?There are some really good ideas here, that if compiled together in a separate forum, could lead to some good discussuions which may in turn lead to Ford listening and acting ....EG - for series two I would really like to see MP3 compatability included with the sound systems across the range. For cars with single CD you still have hours of music without fiddling while you are driving which is a real safety issue - we can't talk on mobile phones but we can take our eyes and concentration away from the road for several secs in order to change a CD.

Still would have bought it anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gjconn Guests Posted 03/05/03 10:23 PM Share Posted 03/05/03 10:23 PM Most of the things above. I happen to have a ute. (Only for the last 4 days), but so far....On utes, the fuel filler door is not locked or have an internal release. The filler cap is not locked and Ford Parts say there is'nt one available.It's hard to get to the area behind the seats. The lever for the seat back is hard to reach and the seats should also slide forward and have a memory position when you push them back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For cars with single CD you still have hours of music without fiddling while you are drivingAnd they would never sell the 6 stacker again.......Who amongst us would pay the $900 for the premium sound only for the sub woofer and the colour screen if the standard sound had MP3 compatability making the 6 stacker for the most part redundant. Perhaps it could be an additional feature on the premium package....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sedan owners get 2. Check with your dealer3 - poor effort4 - Same for the sedans5 - I think there is a technical reason for this 6 - Is there NO centre stop light? I thought there was an ADR covering this7 - It's not premium sound, it's prestige which means you get a 6 stacker and that's about all.8 - Yeah agree, the Ford Ute reverse light is a bit pi$$ poor IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ford made me pay $80 extra for the second one after I spent $900 with them for an alarm ... which only used the Ford "keypad" (yes they handed the car over armed and only one remote to turn it off .... the spare key set the alarm off !!! ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
