[QUOTE="andymarkv, post: 12665927, member: 102900"] Very nice, thanks! Were you looking at anything other than an Xsport? I've driven the new Jeep GC's with hemi and HATED the seats.... I'm looking for something very comfortable, that's some what fun with utility. This sounds like it fits the bill. Were there a few Xsports for you to chose from in your area? There are NONE that I have found in a 60 mile radius so far.... Its too bad Ford doesn't have a decent locator program for customers. We bought the wifes '11 sixxer mustang without driving it because there were NO 6sp cars in late '10 in our area. I had her drive a GT and had them locate a V6 6sp 3.31 geared car and thought it would be good enough for her. We locked in the deal and they brought it in....immediately after driving it we knew we made a mistake. We should have bought a 5 liter... We won't make that mistake again. I need to drive one before we buy it. And right now that's pretty tough!! Good to know on the third row deal! Is the cover ridged? Or could you fold it and flip up the third row if all of the sudden you needed it? I'm still pretty sold on one and I'm working on my dealer to find me one within 60 miles that I can test drive. We're not really into the tech stuff so those options don't mean much to us. And after owning four T topped Camaro's....any glass in the roof doesn't appeal to me anymore!! So a base Xsport with trailer tow is actually pretty reasonable in price considering a Limited is right there or more. Interesting on the possibility of expanded EB availability to most of the X line... Although, when I "built" an XLT with leather and tow package the MSRP is 38,395 plus the option of the EB motor I have to imagine will be 1000-1500? So you'll be knocking within a grand or two of an Xsport anyway...unless you get a total stripper XLT. Can't wait to hear what you think after a tune! Although....I get a touch gunshy on the whole warranty deal with tunes these days. But its not like I'm gonna thrash the wheels off it like my Shelby! As long as they're a touch over built, I can't see any issues. One thing I will say....depending on the color, I actually like the polished 20's on the Limited better than the blacked out Sport wheels. My plan is to get a set of limited wheels for the summer, run the sport wheels in the winter with a dedicated winter tread. [/QUOTE]
