What ST feature do you really like/hate that has made up your mind on all future vehicle purchases?

You have no idea, go back and look at the 70+ posts he has made. You would think Ford forced him to buy the car, he never test drove it, never researched it, complained because he couldn't buy premium gas, he can't press the auto start button, his screen isn't formatted to his liking.........most people just gave up on him long ago.

To get back to the original poster's thread- One thing I really like is the turning radius. I once sold a nice vehicle (2004 Volvo S60R AWD, 300 hp, 6 speed, beautiful interior) because it's turning radius rivaled a 16 wheeler! It was a great car in so many respects, but that was a problem I really couldn't get over. So that's a Ford feature I really appreciate.

I get it some of the vehicle's have problems, and lots of them....I did my homework and coming from a 2012 4runner with 137k miles that only had two minor issues
1. The child locks would act up at times... did it several times years ago then never again
2. The drivers rear door lock actuator would not lock at times
That's it.... but it was also a vehicle that was body on frame and has been the same for over 10yrs. Now yes a lot of issues with the ST are electrical.... but you think Ford cars are the only ones having electrical issues? Not even close.... even Toyota is with some of the new cars. Could be a GM truck where the engine eats lifters and pushrods... or the trans issues they have. Could be the horrible Nissans... or vw's... or Volvos...benz.. etc etc

So few things I'm not a huge fan of so far...
The sharp-ish plastic egde when the backside of the steering wheel meets the front on the bottom middle spokes.
The auto start stop....I think there's a way to fully defeat it without Fordscan or whatever?
The fake carbon fiber on the dash.
None of the safety nannies bug... it is what it is every car has it nowadays. I'll also admit I'm a little surprised by the B&O system.....I was expecting to be really sad about it lol

It's a 30-minute job tops and that's if you're very deliberate, really you can do it in 15. It involves pulling the steering column cover, unplugging a connection, and plugging the device in, then reinstalling the cover. Works great. A tune is a great option, that said, if you think you actually may have a use for it, the eliminator makes it so it's just the push of a button away. It will also remember your stop brake setting. There are $15 discount codes floating around on this site to.

Thank you for your comment. I had no idea FENG was really a thing, but I really dislike the sound of my vehicle at times and now I'm wondering if this is why. So because of your comment I am the proud new owner of an OBDLink MX+ which will arrive on my doorstep in two days, and I'm downloading FORSCAN now. Appreciation!!
