  1. I have been through ND many times it was a joke.
  2. Yep he did. Been over a year now since he passed. Listening to Signals right now. What a legacy he (and Alex and Geddy)left.
  3. Just started a few days ago where you here a pop sound in the door speakers when turning on the audio system and then they cut out with no sound coming out of them. There appears to be sound coming out of the "bass" speakers in the trunk but no sound comes from any of the door speakers. Is the amplifier built in to the MyFord touch screen unit or is it a separate module. Is there a DIY solution or just bring it in to the dealer and bend over? This is my daughter's first car that I helped her pick out so she is distraught and "needs" her tunes. Thanks for any help.
  4. Yes that is already the plan. Found one we are interested in but one thing came up that is of concern. During test drive at one stop while car still in drive my daughter could feel vibration in the steering wheel. Does this mean it needs the 6F35 "Party pack"? Paging YTS90. If so what's the cost to fix it, or should we keep looking?
  5. Just looking for any input on purchasing a 2016 Fusion SE with the 2.5 L for my daughter in college. Was thinking this would be a more reliable bet than the eco boosts. Is this a solid vehicle? Are there any things I should check specifically on this model before purchase? Finally decided to get rid of the 2003 Taurus (Tom to my daughter) due to rust and 140K miles. Thanks
  6. Not without a $2500 option package including leather seats. I love the fact that the Badlands can be had with heated cloth seats. Why stick a cheap ass plastic steering wheel on an otherwise upscale edition. I do not want leather seats and I really want the 2.0.
  7. That's not what the build and price says. Ford is really making it difficult for me to stay with the company. All my vehicles have been Ford's but since my 2013 Flex it is impossible to get the basics of what I want; heated cloth seats and a leather wrapped steering wheel.
  8. Really liking the Bronco Sport but agree on the review that the steering wheel on the Badlands is cheap. For me this would be a reason not to purchase. So I went to the build and price and found there was a heated and leather wrapped steering wheel option. Clicking on the little i button it has the statement "Standard on Outer Banks, Badlands, and First Edition.". So that would be great, except when you click the + saying you want it, it says you have to get the leather seats. So which is standard or locked to leather seats which is a dealbreaker for me?
  9. Since it is a "Bronco Warthog" shouldn't the emblem be a cross between the two?
  10. That was true with my wife...until she drove the Explorer and didn't like the thick a-pillar blocking visibility and some other things. I said lets try the Flex and she said "No, it's ugly." I said it won't hurt to drive one so she agreed to drive it but expected to hate it. Within a mile on the test drive she was hooked. In fact our 2013 Flex will be the hardest vehicle to get rid of that we ever had.

  12. We have the same feeling about our Flex. It will be the hardest vehicle to get rid of that we ever had.
  13. My 2013 Flex is my favorite vehicle I have ever owned. Anyone put off by the looks of the Flex needs to drive one before passing judgment. My wife wanted an Explorer back in 2013 and hated it after driving it. She thought the Flex was ugly and didn't even want to drive it. I talked her into just driving it to see and after 1/2 mile she was hooked. I also owned a 2008 Focus and it has been a great car. It's a manual and I gave it to my son with 175,000 miles on it. Still on original clutch. Congrats.
  14. My wife did her 1st free oil change at the dealer. Afterwards it was missing one of the fasteners for the underbody shield. She noticed a rattling sound and I verified it was missing.
  15. I have a 2013 FWD Flex with the tow package and 18's and I think it rides and handles like a dream.
  16. Tow rating is not in the order guide. For us folks in the north heated side mirrors are a must. But you have to get a Lariat to get them. That's the biggest problem I see in the packaging.

  18. My 2008 Manual Focus is at 165,000 on the original clutch.
  19. FYI I have cloth heated seats in my 2013 Flex and it was the single biggest reason we got it.
  20. I have a Flex too and am also interested in the Bronco.
