Hi all!

Just had a call from the dealer and my ZS is ready to collect tomorrow! Total time from order, built and collection tomorrow will be 7 weeks which I think is excellent!

Really looking forward to this! Unfortunately tho I'm collecting it from a dealers on a busy high street in rush hour so my first drive will mostly be stuck in traffic!

Any tips for the run in period? And also what are the Sports Seats and Suspension like in comparison to the standard Zetec as I never actually test drove one?

Will be uploading some pictures tomorrow night after I've took it for a proper spin!

    Seats & suspension are really nice, & there's no such thing as a 'run in' period nowadays.

    Just don't trash it till it's properly warmed up, & don't turn the engine off till the turbos spooled & cooled down.

    How long is that for the Turbo, when you finish driving after say a short 7-8 mile mixed driving journey
