Awesome! That's a good looking car and even better in that color.

This.
Never buy first year
And especially this!
Although I do really like the exterior of the 2020s, and the rear wheel drive platform. Not buying a first year ford though.

I'm pretty sure that's a negative, but I'll double check tomorrow.
Edit 2: They are functional.

I forgot to mention they tried to sell me the Ford ESP plan which I actually want with all the tech in this thing, but I knew they were going to rip me off. They quoted me 5 years 75K miles for ~$2600.
I just bought a better plan (6 years 85K miles) from Lombard Ford in CT that prides themselves for being one of the top ESP plan dealers out there for $1250. The plan includes pretty much everything including free lost key replacement as well as interior and exterior lighting. (those LEDs are expensive!)
The finance guy says, "oh if you don't buy it today it can be twice as expensive to buy later"...

WTF??

Why not? Its not as if its a new model, its just a facelift.

Not in this case. All new platform that includes switching to RWD, and all new drive trains.
When I bought my Tundra, it was "first year" but the drive train was exactly the same as the older generation. In those cases I don't care if it's a first year model.

Nice ride, the wifey will absolutely love it.

I was waxing it today, and noticed I was wrong about those lower front vents. They are functional. They go straight into the wheel well. Couldn't see that until I had it out in the driveway.
I drove it to the car store today to get some wax, and that ecoboost pulls without even trying. It's only got 100 miles on it, so I have yet to actually give it some hell. Merging onto the highway shouldn't be an issue anymore. RIP Honda Van.

Eleven months and 9,400 miles later... It's been at the dealer since Tuesday morning. No idea what they find, but all of the traction controls went nuts, and it wouldn't move forward. When I tried to put it in drive the entire thing shuttered violently.
Strike one Ford. I typically trade something immediately if it leaves my wife stranded, but this thing will cost me $13K in depreciation if I do, so it gets three strikes, then buy back.
GG Ford...

That sucks man. This is why I avoid Ford, GM/Chevy, Dodge/Chrysler junk at all costs. I had a ford (body) car and after that a pontiac and they gave me nothing but problems so I will never buy another American made POS again.
Hope this issue is resolved quickly (and cheaply).
