So this happened to me yesterday. Finished charging, removed cable and closed the charging door. Moved the car to a different parking spot and locked it. Charging door was closed at this time. Later, when I unlocked the car the charging door just popped open with the unlock, as if it were...

1. When the front wipers are going, if you put it into reverse, it'll run the rear wiper a couple of times for you to clear the back window. Nice touch. I mean it is a nice function but my 2007 Focus Ztech also did this.

Oh wow, I drove the grey as my test drive and didn't think much of it at the time but that looks great in your photo. Enjoy!

Ahh, I hadn't even considered that. It's too late now for me And it’s finally here. My drive back was motorway and city, alongside some roadworks and traffic jams. So I nice mixture to get a feel for the car and honestly, it drove like a dream. Now I need to add, I’m coming from a 20 old Ford...

Fair, fair, just a novelty for me.

Dear lord what a faff. My car is ready for pick-up tomorrow. Called dealer this morning, they went "yes we have your car but you haven't paid us", turns out they hadn't sent me the email with the details to pay the rest of the deposit... Would've they just left the car sat there if I hadn't...

Couldn't stand the wait anymore, I called up my dealer today but both my sales person and manger were out so no updates until they're back ?

Here, here, to enjoying the car and not compromising on your ride or comfort to squeeze out a few extra miles or baby the battery. Still, I'd have so sweat stains in several places getting that close to running out of fuel, regardless of petrol or electric. ?

Fingers crossed, one week left to go, anyone got any updates on their order/delivery?

Does slamming on the break pedal (assuming not mat in the way) not overcome any unintended acceleration by the car?

Be interested to hear who gets their car first, I'm hoping the two weeks is accurate and not just them paying lip service. Will post once I've got it.

So where it's been described as LKA taking control or moving over, does this mean that even if you have the steering wheel gripped it will force you over? Is a firm grip on the wheel enough to prevent the LKA from moving the vehicle? (I appreciate we shouldn't and don't have an iron grip on the...
