Electric Spice '16 Sport - new to Ford!

I just bought a 2016 Electric Spice Sport in August. I love love love it so much. My fiancé saw the color first, and within a matter of hours, I wouldn't even look at any other colors. I've driven foreign cars my entire 20+ years behind the wheel. For some reason, my Dad always said "Ford? No way." Last car was an 07 Nissan Altima 3.5 SE, which I still owned at the time.

 

Found it online. 9k miles, was a corporate car for a Ford Employee. Bought this thing sight unseen from Wisconsin (they took detailed videos!) and had it shipped to Delaware. Cold weather, 401a, cargo, 21" wheels, inflatable rear seat belts, and some other (can't remember) packages. $50,995 sticker. Got it with an extended warranty for $34,000. Very, very happy. Handles like a dream. It does lag in D when I floor it, but Sport mode remedies this. (P.S. can you shift from D to S while driving? I know I can but I'm scared to!) This is my dream car as I've wanted one since the 13s - I love lighting, so I waited when I saw the '15 refresh with LEDs. We literally pulled the trigger on this one while I still had my Altima (which of course I later sold)

 

Like other posts I've seen from other members - I, too, sit in my car for copious amounts of time and just play with stuff. Read the manual. I find myself turning around as I walk away from it and say "she baaaaad!" I've already plasti dipped the chrome Edge and Sport lettering... I plasti-smoked the headlights today, then peeled it off as it looked like complete $#%!

Even though I didn't get a sport. I got the Titanium for the wife she absolutely loves it. Had a Mercedes. She doesn't even miss the Mercedes. And that car was considered her baby at one time. The Edge has lots of nice options and fits our lifestyle better. We have only had it for 6 months now. All has been good. Only change I have to do , because they look ugly to me , is change the rims and paint the silver part of the grill black. The grill is done already. Posted pics of that. Good to hear you are enjoying your car.
