Not a good day for photos (or indeed anything involving going outside!!) but a few rather poorIMG_20180302_103952.thumb.jpg.3d0100c21d696a73a89f099914856fa0.jpg shots from my crap phone! It's completely standard inside, so you can get a much better idea from pics in the brochure, Ford website or various online reviews (the Autogefuhl one on You Tube is very comprehensive). Weather looks like it may start to improve over the weekend so may get chance to actually drive it at last!IMG_20180302_104005.thumb.jpg.b94d160e24b295eaf8d77e4faaab7d2a.jpgIMG_20180302_103952.thumb.jpg.3d0100c21d696a73a89f099914856fa0.jpgIMG_20180302_094922.thumb.jpg.4e869a2e083b2faa39e126ffa7876f82.jpg

Thanks and good luck with the delivery. Hopefully it won't be snowing when you get yours!

Looking at those make me wish I’d waited for the MK8 ST instead of going with the current one. 

The interior just looks so much nicer!

Been to dealer today as previously said, they had to insure our loan car again and had to take driving licences.

Our car is due there Monday or Tuesday next week. As sson as it arrives they will prioritise it and have promised a 24 hour turn around from it arriving there. No rush as we cannot collect until Friday next at the earliest.

The surprise they hinted at was a reduction in the monthy payments as the APR has been reduced massively and although we already agreed to the monthly price, the dealership said Ford have offered us the new EH rate for our extended rate.

It really is quite a lot they have reduced the monthly payment by.

Lets say, i am paying more monthly now for my Mk7.5 than the Mrs with the Mk8, the olny difference was £300 more on her deposit to mine. 

The salesman also hinted Ford are doing this as sales are down even with the scrappage scheme which he says ends at the weekend.

I won't hold my breath but he also told me he will have me in a MK8 within a year.... Have only had mine 10 months (yes it has flown by).

Looks great, is shiny the trim around the air vents etc carbon fibre effect? We were told it was and  shown pictures of a cab with this. Can't make it out from the pics.

Nice, sounds like you've done well all round!

Mine is due to be delivered on Wednesday next week, dealer is insisting on an entire week for the pre delivery inspection, even though I'm driving halfway across the country next weekend :(

Might have the grounds to push a bit harder now I know that some dealers are doing it in 24 hours!

Interesting that st line x gets extra centre speaker even without bo play - this is different to the original spec

Wow, an even longer wait at your dealership for the pre-delivery inspection. Congrats though. I've only been waiting since mid January for my Titanium non-X and it's been tough enough!

Yes it is, looks ok too.

The normal system sounds pretty good to me using DAB radio or USB stick sources, though as my wife keeps telling me, my hearing's not what it was. My dealer tells me that they haven't had a single customer order the B & O option, the only ones they've sold were a couple of B & O Titanium's, and then only because that's all they could get from Ford.

Thanks for confirming Eric. The car really looks great by the way.

I use standard DAB and USB for playing music in my 7.5 and i would say the sound quality is very very good, well it is with the crap i listen to... haha.

Can only imagine your mk8 sounds great too.

Thank you again

Yeah it’s daft! But just so glad that I am finally days away from getting my hands on it (ordered October) fingers crossed you don’t have that long to wait!

Think he meant the road transporters? Thanks@ian, useful info, wonder if mine will be delayed due to weather now.

Spoke with dealership this afternoon and mine (spec’d up Titanium X ordered 19 Jan)  is still at New Flushing. Original ETA was 31/03, updates from dealership have been suggesting week ending 17/03 for a while but potentially during the following week now - he mentioned shippings from New Flushing are on hold just now and no cars shipping out of Dagenham this last few days. Hopefully that will resume soon. Another update next week sometime but still on track/slightly ahead of schedule for line still. As long as that stays true that’s not too bad for a mid-Jan order as I’m aware a lot of folks have been waiting much longer. I’d say to keep checking and nagging for updates and action, hopefully those delivery dates will come down but it certainly seems Ford is hanging out the Fiesta’s more quickly now.
