Mine is a cheap nasty plastic jobbie, branded to the dealer... I just started to think about it as I was looking at my mothers mini cooper owners book which was in a nice leather one. I know in the statesman, calais, caprice etc Expensive Daewoo do a nice leather one as well. I've posted this here as G6E being fords top of the line they may have stepped it up?

Cheap plastic folder with a business card for everyone that's ever worked at the dealership jammed in it is standard issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My prev e90 bmw's was a nice leather one too but I bought the G6ET mainly because it was a large family car with a jet engine! Good value overall.

Really?Well I guess at least the selling dealer gave me something then as they gave me SFA when the motor went bang, hence why my car will never go back to that dealer ever again for any service/warrenty work. The new dealer im using is pretty damn good though.....just got to get them to fix the damn trans issue! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I have the same as Smackers.Not the greatest but still better than getting the run of the mll plastic one when you lay down so much money. For the top of the range car.

The manual was half decent and had stylish photos on it.My Force 6 had that crappy little plastic folder with the dodgy books inside it. The owners extra books come in a nice leather folder, but you have to send away for that, it doesn't come with the car.Obviously prestige doesn't mean much anymore in Ford speak.

ZAP No boost, no bottle, just my foot on the throttle!

We used to get a choice of bags or a watch, now we get a book and no key ring.I wrote back on my order form that they were cheap bastards and they should not cut back on the gifts as we do remember that they have become cheap arses.I never got a call or any survey on my satisfaction overall. Love the car, but Ford/PFV should change their attitudes on where money can be saved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
