cnikolakakis Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 Autophorie uploaded a nice video showcasing the Pixel LED headlights. They seem to react quite fast to oncoming cars. You can watch it here, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XtSsxAsvSzE. Can't wait to see them in real life. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plimp92 Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 Ohhhhhh. Thanks for that. They look so cool. I specced em cos my 2010 mondeo had bendy lights, and I loved em. These look awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cnikolakakis Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 Specced them as well, can't imagine spending that much money on a new car in 2022 and not have lights like these. Also, I am bit spoiled with my bixenon projector retrofit that everytime I drive a car with simple lights I don't feel safe 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plimp92 Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 Do you know if they bend round corners when on dipped beam? I think they do right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, everything it's perfect, compared to my old MK4 1.0 100hp I can feel the difference between that and the 125mhev, however, I hate one thing: the car tires(Continental Eco Contact 6) are noisier and has less grip compared to the Michelin Primacy 4 on my old MK4... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chera Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 The navi it's really good, the tomtom it's fine, it has some flaws but its OK, I honestly will not give up Waze, at least in the countries where I have internet in roaming 😄 That sparkling look on the paint looks like a girl car 😄 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carsey Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 Just had the best news in a while. I placed my order for a mean green ST on 06/05/22 with the dealer however at this point the factory order books were closed, so it was just sat with the dealer. Just had a call from dealer confirming they can now submit orders, so as of today I am officially on the waiting list.. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I been able to test these now, because its dark here at morning and evening when I drive to work or home. Only used auto position and didnt even notice when it reacted to oncoming cars, nobody has blinked long lights to me what is good sign, (this happened lot with fiesta st mk8 I had and with its automatic long lights at dark.) You can see how car adjust lights in turns also so you see turn better. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iantt Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 On right hand drive models the hybrid battery is under the driver's seat. So assume on left hand drive it's under passenger seat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tddif2000 Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 Thanks, no foot room and no air vent on that side of the car... Another point to the mk3,5. Does any on knows the experimental duration on the Vodafone Wi-Fi? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does any on knows the experimental duration on the Vodafone Wi-Fi? I believe its a one month free trial. The sim for it is hardwired to Vodafone and can't be changed. Which I think is very bad, because Vodafone UK is quite expensive. My other gripe is that the hotspot is only available when the engine is running 🤯 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duke178 Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 It looks like UK order books are open again, no Vignale though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plimp92 Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 Yeah the higher spec versions are all X now. St line x still has the leather and b&o. Not clear whether there's heated seats. I think the vignale editions will be quite rare cars. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedHotCharlie1701 Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 Quick update from my dealer - I now have an estimated delivery date for my ST-X - Nov 22. That was unexpected, I thought it will be a usual "sorry mate, nothing has changed", but apparently something is finally happening with my order 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jibberish333 Posted September 19, 2022 Author Share Posted September 19, 2022 It seems like, as with 23MY Fiesta the Vignale is just replaced with X (so that branding lasted all 11 months) but bar some styling changes the specification and options do look the same. They are a hell of a lot more expensive again though (in the region of £1500 on top of previous price increases, all the add on packs have increased by at least £50 also). In other news my car (as well as my friends that was done a few weeks ago) is now built! Neither has made it to the dealer yet but hopefully they won’t take too long. Anyone with experience know how long this might take (to the UK)? Super excited for us both to finally get our news cars though, hopefully soon! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
