Not that I've seriously read up about the issue, but I'd be nervous about the new Hocus-Pocus-Focus automatics. I get that they're weird, but wouldn't want to risk investing in it. Flap paddles would be awesome. Ford needs to do some PR work here. I remember some 1st generation Aerostars in very nice condition being pushed off a cliff after their 3rd transmission change. Don't believe in new technology coming out from Ford. I'd buy one used in a few years if they prove to be reliable long-term.
