I really like it in white. Best colour I have seen so far imo. With the miles i do it would be a nightmare to keep clean but it does look great!!!

That magnetic colour does look very nice....white would be my choice though.

So all you lucky new owners with the 1.5 ecoboost engine what is the Verdict....

I haven't opened it up yet as I'm trying to keep the revs below 4k for the first 1k miles.

You don't get the surge of power like my old 2.0 tdci, but then that had 340nm of torque, lol. It is much more progressive and flexible though, it doesn't bog down, it doesn't lurch about.

It is so much better not having the weight of the diesel over the front wheels too, you turn in to a corner and can feel the car pushing back on you in to the corner instead of wanting to lean wide.

Engine is still a bit tight at the moment and I'm trying to take it easy to start with, but I love it.

Guess what I got ;)

whys it in the garage already...what mods you getting done?!?!?!?!

its the garage I work in. But I am changing the sidelight bulbs for the philips blue vision bulbs later.

I am full of regret for not getting white. Do me a favour though, can you repost them in a few weeks when they are filthy to make me feel better about it yeah? ;)

Well I do still have my 1.0T also that the mrs has taken over.

Personally I prefer the panther black to white but kinda wanted to be different.

Nice, which engine have you gone for?

Gone for the 1.6 diesel :(
