JAS21 Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 As for JAS21's mythical EVT+ *shrug* - if it were me I'd be running out of patience, so kudos to him. STANDBY ... for a pictorial announcement guys ... later this coming weekend. That's of course if they don't drop it whilst unloading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disting Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Very impressed with Mrs Disting today. Had this little beauty delivered. 5 days from deposit to free delivery at the house. Very good service from Ford Saraburi. I did ask for a pic of the 2 cars together, forgot the wife can't reverse park so have a pic of both rears but there you go. Now just have to wait 5 weeks til I get home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The garage received so many EVT+'s ...well at least five ...that it wouldn't be available until late yesterday. I did actually see it!

bizader Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 Could this be the reason why Ford has not included SatNav on the everest?

But he woke up screaming as it was just a mirage NO, NO mirage or myth and here's a picture to prove it ... Fortunately this is the nearest that Mrs Jas got to driving it... unfortunately tomorrow is another day ... I suppose just a little unfair comment as she does hold a UK driving license ... And here is a side by side comparison ... actually the Fortuna didn't look too bad except for the interior trim and those 3rd Row seats. Actually I quite like the Fortunas rear corners.

Reckon so ...it's a little big and seems to float, I need to get used to 'where' the front LH corner is ...maybe my spatial awareness has failed!. Mrs JAS is a little unhappy with the seats ... both of us agree that when we sat in them at the Motor Show they were more comfortable than the ones we have fitted ... the dealer said NO NO that was because the seats in that vehicle had been used somewhat ... not convinced. To be honest the seats were somewhat of a pull towards buying it. The 8-way electrical passenger seat was a MUST for Mrs JAS and she said the self-parking feature was a MUST for me . I'll be interested in what the seats are like in the vehicle at next weeks Motor Show. Rumor has it that Ford are cutting back on the EV freebies ...not that they are giving much now. Hopefully we will get the ceramic window film (SolarFX) fitted tomorrow or Tuesday ....sorry ACE It's even more plush inside that I remember though. Quite impressive. Have to say, at present, that I preferred the driving feel of our V-Cross, this is more 'limo-ish'. It will definitely grow on me though... need to read the 'on-line' manual urgently - seller told me that he will get me the English manual ... I wish that he had ordered it already ... it is free. Roll on January 9th when it will be properly polished. After that I think I'll coat it with ECO7000. Edited November 29, 2015 by JAS21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMHO Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 (edited) Have to say, at present, that I preferred the driving feel of our V-Cross, this is more 'limo-ish'. Don't worry, you won't miss the ride firmness, heavier steering or mechanical symphony for long - and you'll also soon find that the more plush ride does not come with a lack of road manners or handling - which I can imagine coming from a pickup would be the expectation Don't forget to watch the speedometer when away from traffic Edited November 30, 2015 by IMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
