Great to hear! The car looks great! I wish I had the gfx package, it's one sweet setup, that's for sure. As for the tip, i'd make sure you got it... but knowing what they look like installed, i'd go somewhere else and actually purchase a nice looking tip that can actually be welded on.

The Duratec series makes for a nice offering for sure. I liked the linear power delivery when we test-drove a 05 sedan a couple of months back.
I like the GFX package, but sadly Sara doesn't. Niteshi t would solve the marker issue she has with the front, though :D

There is no auto door lock for the 06.
The seatbelt chimes when the passenger beside isn't putting on the belt..
The stereo is so much better.
The seats are more comfortable.
Verdict - I don't miss my wagon anymore!!.. hahahaa.. :D

They dumped autolock on the doors? :blink: Finally someone listened (I know you can turn it off on the '05's but its such a hassle I haven't bothered) CAn you engage autolock on the '06 if you want it?
Yeah the passenger seatbelyt chime was introed with the '05 MY I think, mine does it, drives the front seat passenger nuts ;)
The 05+ stereo is just easier to use and view than the 00-04MY cars, it's not as pretty but functionality is my preference over form :)

There's no auto lock on my doors on my 05. And the stereo is 10x better once you replace that thing they call a deck.

Weird, maybe your dealership disabled it before you picked it up, 'cause mine locks up tighter than Fort Knox once the car starts rolling under power :blink:
Oh I don't dispute there are better aftermarket decks out there but in my case, the plug & play of the Ford stock deck with the steering wheel mounted audio controls was paramount ;)
