The tech angle is something I’m amazed by. These little pocket rockets are amazing. Sounds like yours doesn’t exactly live up to that name, but it gets you there. That all that’s needed.
Mine still gets a move-on when I need it to. It doesn’t do it by the old muscle car standards to be sure, but I can get out of the way of trouble if I need to.
I’m happy with my Mariner, but I do wish it had a bit more of the technical gadgets today’s cars do.
It has navigation, very adequate. It has a six cd bank. It doesn’t have blue tooth, but I’m not a big music guy, so that’s okay.
It does have the back up warning system, which I use constantly, so it does have some of the later gadgets.
It has the hybrid mileage reporting system and helps too. I use them. It taught me how to drive more reasoned, economically.
Thanks for your report.
I'm amazed by it too but to tell you the truth, I only use or know how to use half the stuff it has. But I'm slowly learning as necessity requires.
The first winter I had my last Focus, after I had left my driveway after a snow fall, a light came coming on as I was driving down the street. I panicked and drove back home and pulled out the owners manual to figure out what the warning light was.
Turned out it was the traction control light which indicated that my tires were losing traction on the snow and ice....LOL!
Then a couple weeks ago with my new Focus, another warning light went on and I again had to check the manual to see what was up. Turned out to be a warning that I was losing air pressure in one of my tires...........
Yes, this tech stuff IS amazing and I still haven't figured out how to connect PANDORA (an internet music station) which is on my smart phone (I'm not smart) to what appears to be an option on my vehicle's audio system...........Oh well, I'll do it one day.
