I've had the Ex (Ltd, 20" polished, tow package, Nav) now for a couple of months. I traded in my 04 Ex and have never looked back. Compared to the old truck, this thing is nothing but awesome. I have a short commute to work and look for ways to make the trip longer. I cannot imagine anything else out there in this class that handles, drives, and performs like this truck. My old Ex with the 4.0 is an absolute slug compared to this thing.
The interior is first class. I showed it to a buddy who drives a 6 series BMW and his jaw dropped when he sat in it. You could tell he was ticked when we started talking about all of the features his car did not have.
There are 2 other people who drive this vehicle from time to time, and to be able to have everything re-adjusted with the touch of a button is incredible. MFT has been upgraded to 2.8 and is bug free. Its not perfect, but who else has anything close to this. The voice command features work 90% of the time for me, whether its finding a radio station, making a call, setting a destination or playing my iTouch.
I've had the regular stuff like outdated sync version, fan squeal, A-pillar rattle, and rear hatch fitment, but I took it to the Ford dealer and everything has been dealt with, no questions asked. Kudos to Kanata Ford in Ottawa, Canada.
To those that have ordered their Ex and second guess their decision based on the comments in this forum, my advice to you is stay away and come back after you have taken delivery of your Ex. That way can can add your own first hand info based on real driving experience and be able to sort out the BS from the rest. There is no shortage whining and complaining here.
This is by far the best vehicle I have ever owned. Everyone that has been in it has been absolutely amazed. They can`t believe Ford can produce a vehicle that is this sophisticated and refined. Way to go Ford.
