I will write soon the answers. I've got about a week to decide and I'm 50/50 at the moment. Kinda don't trust any manufacturer and not sure what else to go for at the price point. Look forward to hearing the response from your dealer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I was surprised how much space is lost in what is an already small boot even compared to having a space saver spare wheel that uses a much smaller tray than that shown. Hence deciding not to spec the premium audio as in the UK this means losing boot space. Ford also forgets to mention the loss of space in any of its marketing guff which is a bit naughty.

In the brochure I remember I did saw some info regarding the boot space depending of what spare you get. With the mini spare the space it's ok. Me coming from a Fiesta I can notice the space. Now it all depends what are your needs. We are 2 and it's fine. Fiesta's was fine but that had other issues. P.S. i did find the stats: 363l with tyre repair kit 316l with mini spare 277l with full size spare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you get the climate on the Sync 3 screen? I have the cloth manual seats and I do not get the climate on the screen, that's why my questions.

It's veryyy small. A friend has the prefacelift Focus with full spare and boy it's small. The boot floor is flat with the edge of the boot.

The option for full leather on UK Ti X includes heated front seats and electric adjustment on the driver side. Do you mean there's no aircon settings in Sync 3 like there are in Sync 2 ?

Probably another cost cutting exercise. I haven't seen UK Sync 3 so don't know if it missing here but I wouldn't been surprised. Can you set the climate set temp by voice ?

Anything in particular would you like to see or me to ask them? Lol the manual states - "Climate Voice Commands (Optional) To adjust the temperature, press the voice control button on the steering wheel and when prompted, say:" The problem is there's no customer "option" in the UK to have this. Thanks. I guess see what story is offered for the Active Grill removal and why no climate via touch screen or voice. Sync II had both physical and touch options and other Ford models appear to offer both. Voice is a safety feature and it seem odd to not have it given the big play on voice control.

I think Sync 3 kicked in in late Sep 2016 builds that would probably not reach the UK customers until December. The other issue is there are can a big difference between the cars build date and when it's first registered. I've seen a 16 reg car that had a 2014 build date and I'm sure we'll see 17 reg cars that are Sync 2 because they've been sat in a compound for a while.

They should NOT sell new cars without it. It's very fast to the touch. Smartphone/tablet fast ish. Or if they do they should drop from the asking price.

huey45 Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Certainly nice looking motor, but I went with the Tit + Appearance pack as Im not a lover of multi spoke alloys and too much bother to clean, but rear privacy glass and day time running lights are nice, the jury is out on sync 3 as I havent seen any working examples to judge against my sync 2 8" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avi Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 7 hours ago, huey45 said: the jury is out on sync 3 as I havent seen any working examples to judge against my sync 2 8" It's a lot different and I guess the graphics may be a bit like Marmite in that you either like it or don't lol. That said Sync 3 is much cleaner and faster to use making it much more practical when driving. More like using a modern tablet or smartphone particularly when using apps link with Spotify or other apps. Entering navigation info is much more intuitive similar to using google maps and being able to choose between Ford's or other ios or android app options is a nice touch.. I thought Sync II was OK and looked good but was more demanding and less practical to use due to small touch icons, slow/cumbersome input process and slow touch sensitivity/response could be frustrating especially when driving.
