Hi, Guest
I haven't bothered with additional audio gear with my 08 (seeing as we have the same headunit I assume). The headunit will be great as long as you put some sort of signal processor in there first before hooking up to an amp - normalize the input levels, clean it up a bit, run either high-draw RCAs or go fully digital out, etc.
I skipped on one with the moonroof cause I'm 6'3" and without it I have a very decent amount of headroom. With it, I found it was almost as bad as the RX-8 (worst car for tall guys - ever).
What's the basic trim package similar to? It sounds as though it's actually similar to the Limited (piano black and chrome bits).
The only thing I'm semi-sad about not having is the 6-speed auto. Given the amount of snort available with the 200HP V6... 240 would be nice but meh.
Sync I've seen and played with - let us know what you think about it. I think Nef has it in his Fusion as well.
LOL - I just went to the Ford.ca site and saw that they brought back the stick-shift transmission! :D It really makes me think most of the 2008 MY for Ford was cursed in terms of features and options. I love my truck, but a lot of guys are really pissed that they got screwed over.
EDIT - A Limted AWD 4-cyl? :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: Ford is rapidly approaching Mazda levels of "nothing's sacred anymore". :iono:
And checking that pricing... why the hell would someone go with 4WD and a 4-cyl for the Limited? Why not just get a Hybrid at that point?
Oh, and I hope you didn't pay the website sticker amount man... that s*** is highway robbery.
