mikesphoteaux Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 Got it yesterday...only got to ride in it because the wife was hogging it up...finally got to drive today. WOW, awesome...trying to find something wrong with it is very difficult. 2 things though... 1. While in drive and at a stop, releasing the brake pedal doesn't really let the car move forward...in fact, I found it to be like a manual transmission on a incline... I'm sure Ill accommodate, but its strange 2. The gauges, really, the speedometer. Its sort of compact, and not a lot of numbers or notches...I think Im doing 35 because it shows 30 and then a line...but really that line is the 40mph mark. Likewise, Ill adjust. Thats all I can find. Very comfortable, the seats are adjustable beyond all belief...the wife and I actually use the presets! The headlights are incredible...excellent visibility...adaptive headlights are awesome..how did I live without all these cool gadgets? The car looks incredible in and out...especially at night..wow. THX stereo sounds awesome...I could use a tad more bass(I have 3 10s in my other vehicle), but the imaging is incredible. 6 disc mp3 makes me wonder if Ill ever bring the ipod into the car! Dual zone AC and heated/cooled seats will solve the fighting my wife do when Im driving home and shes cold and Im hot. Power liftgate makes me feel like a spoiled child. 18" wheels fill the wheel wells nicely. The Michellins are nice and quiet and having 6 gears puts the power in the right spot at all times...the engine has a nice tone to it as well. Here is a quick pic of the beauty: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tiaquessa Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 One other thing I noticed- when your driving, you don't realize how fast your going in these vehicles. I'm driving, and it feels like 65-70. I look down, and I'm doing 80-85. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikesphoteaux Posted February 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 One thing that really bothers me is that I think all mkx's should come with HIDs..I mean the car is a basic lightshow at night and it doesnt even have HIDs????
