Yeah, I'd imagine the Auto being a little gutless. Dont know why ford are offering two motors. I really cant see the logic behind it.
Thanks for the replies. I havent had much trouble with reverse on it (mind you I'm used to my XR8 with the 3650 box that is pure EVIL!). Now I just have to teach my cousin to stop stalling the car on hills.
Oh and she loves the car. Had to drag her out of it last night to get her to sleep in the house! The colour has grown on me as well.
The XR4 version should be interesting. Imagine if they fit the ecoboost 4 into it with the DSG box!! (wakes up from dream! I'd prefer manual, but those DSG's make for some quick sprint times)
Only thing I dont get is why they are using drums for the rear? Cost saving?
