What’s everyone’s thoughts

I think it has good potential for the RS looking at these.

Actually……. I quite like it, especially in the Orange Fury…….now, you ain’t gonna miss that on the road!?

Been thinking about the change for a while now especially when it finally comes out with the new 7 speed/ paddle shift auto box!

Struggle a bit with the RS clutch, light as it is due to an old motorcycling leg injury!?

Gonna have to sort a test drive as soon as!?

Thanks for posting the pic’s?

Looking much nicer than I thought!

[Dan William]

I still don’t like it visually.

[Matt. B]

Looks good. Want to see one in the flesh. What’s the interior like?

Its the dash (Ive only driven the ST Line) that I don’t like. Its really plain and they have tried to mimick the latest german models with the minimalist look and straight lines.

Much prefer an old school wraparound dash with plenty of dials and buttons to play with.

Yes interior is gash. Hated it when I test drove one of the models when they first came out. So bad I don’t think I could live with it even in a new rs version. Touch screen is an after thought in its position,  too close to see and use properly while driving. Had a right barney with salesman while discussing it actually. ? and of course I’m always right. Like the exterior of new st mind.

Looks ok but at the end of the day its just an ST.

back end is ok, front is not good and I don’t like the dash !

No nothing.

No Mods. No rockers. Just a chunky knob, thats now been replaced by an RS knob innit.

No tackiness.

Std as Ford intended, but with a space saver wheel and jack and nuts and wheel brace. oh.. and flaps, a man has got to have flaps.

Innit?

Just looked up pics of the interior, why do they think sticking the touch screen on top of the dash and not moulded in it look good. Like a cheap aftermarket screen. Lazy effort by Ford.

Sadly the new Audi A4 is going down the same route

I’m sure all these screens and buttons and controls etc do not contribute to road safety and may possibly be why more people have dumb accidents because their eyes are hardly ever on the road!!  The good old days of simplicity…
