:merry: Now that my Ghia AWD 7 seater has done 10k Km I thought a report was in order.
I have a Ghia AWD, 7 seater (more of that later), navigation system and tow pack.
I have just returned from two trips CNB -MLB- CNB and CNB-BRS-CNB and can report that the vehicle is a revelation in terms of seat comfort and general touring comfort. What a great pleasure to drive on long distances!
The air conditioning, adjustable pedals and Premium radio/CD system are all superb.
The navigation system is brilliant once you understand the user interface.
Fuel economy has settled into 12.5 l/100KM which I deem to be good for a two tonne vehicle; a six speed gearbox with a higher top gear will bring (say) 1900 revs at 110 KM/HR instead of the current 2200 and hence better fuel usage.
Overall an impressive package with excellent body panel fit and paint quality.
Internal plastics are cheap and easily marked; the stupid cargo cover and the lack of a footrest are the only negatives.
I have removed the 3rd row of seats as they weigh approx 90kg and I have no use for them. Is there anyone on this site who works for a Ford Dealer and can tell me the part numbers and prices for the two piece cargo floor in the 5 seater?
