my remarcs after 2 days:
softer rear suspension, car = 2cm higher, nice futuristic dashboard, tires are 215mm (instead of 235 reported in the brochure), Waze works very well with app 'android car' on the 8" screen.
I put the lamps 'Osram Night Breaker laser' in (H1 en H7), but I see no big difference. The tinded glasses (2 row) are darker then the previous version. Rear view camera works well.

Is that the 310 or the 290 version?

So what tyres do you have on there then?As on previous model it was coming with same alloys but 235x55x17 do you have smaller alloys or they are same 17".And new one is 2cm higher as that is sport and old one was limited they were coming in 290.

Are they winter tyres?That is ford for ya it makes you buy one thing but delivers another.Any how it might look better with those as other ones looked awkward somehow at least to me and they might be cheaper to buy.Image

Summertires...
I thought that wide 235mm tires should look sportier?
The Belgium brochure : VAN: 235/55 R17
DCIV: 235/55 R17 (multi-use)
but deliverd: 215/60R17
