1st 1,000 miles...

OK, so its been just over 1200 in three weeks but I digress.

A few notes:

The room inside is great for someone of a larger stature: 6'8" / 260 pounds or so.

Gas mileage is phenomenal. Of course, a lot of my daily drive (when I do drive) is at 40-50 mph along a beach road. Last tank 33.17 with some spirited stuff on the highway.

Above 80 or so, the pull out of the ol' 1.6 is incredible.

The cargo area is square, so it actually holds things. This replaced a Focus ST which held nothing I ever had to carry.

I can flip the rear seats down without touching the fronts.

The sunroof, in vent, sucks more air out of this car than anything else I've experienced. It cools the car off really quick. Love the mesh sunscreen.

The paint quality is excellent as is overall fit and finish.

Getting rid of the runflats asap. Setting them aside for lease turn in.

Love the color combo and black wheels. This car was dealer stock - they must have been thinking of me when they ordered it.

I do wish it had comfort access.

The rear side windows should vent.

The ipod cable isn't compatible with my case. Wish it had bluetooth streaming.

And above all else .... my dealer was simply great from beginning to end. Having bought and assortment of cars over the past years they were courteous, fast, had great coffee and a really cool showroom.

Happy Motoring!
