George the new 16 Edge Sport is gorgeous, especially with the optional 21" flat black wheels. Only complaint is you cant get the Edge SPORT in Magnetic, that colour option only available in the other models.
SYNC3 is in the 16 Edge already as well.
As you can see from promo materials it's a very basic GUI.
Performance wise its fine, and in no way has the issues MFT had in its infancy. Its ready for public consumption I'm just disappointed that to have stability they had to dumb it down so much.......
I guess Im just over optimistic for the next gen Ford systems given the last few years of frustration. While MFT works well now, the guys on here who started in 2011 will agree it was a long journey.
Thanks Sarge! As you may recall I was one of the "old timers" here with the 2011 Limited. Love the car, HATED the MFT when I got it because of crashes, problems, etc. I can take a basic GUI etc if it works flawlessly. It looks like it does so far but this time I am moving slower than I did when the 2011 Explorer first came out which I had by May 2011 (still have). I want the bugs out first this time, been there done that. The GUI is not pretty but as long as it works well I am there.
I love the Explorer but I "think" I want something a little smaller. Love the Edge Sport look now, home run in my opinion. A little smaller than what I have now but similar cargo area. I actually rented one (2015 Edge SEL) on a trip I was on recently on to Florida to see if I liked the size. Seemed about perfect for my needs now. I can only assume I will like the Sport even more and being an ingot silver kinda guy I'm good!
I wouldn't be surprised if at some point Ford kicks the software up a notch on the GUI side with Sync3. Maybe once they know it is working well they will make some changes, background colors are kinda bland so I would like to see that configurable for instance. If the Apple interface works great it will be just what I need to top it off.
Thanks for the reply back Sarge!! (ps: my son is NYPD)
