    Great Ford Dealerships

    Thanks Ford My daddy was always a Ford man and so i have been. Late 2014 i was looking for a new ride to replace my 200k mile Subie. Saw a 2013 Explorer Sport for sale. Drove it,fell in love with but the dealership wanted too much. I kept searching. As my employer at the time used only...

    Remote Start Facts (2011 - 2015 only)

    Great thread Jason, and thank you. Just ordered a 5 button FOB for my EX Sport with power lift gate. Lots of Ford dealers here in Central Florida but I hope my dealer will give me the best price for enabling the remote start. I can program the FOB, no sweat. Believe it or not, I've used my...

    Ford Ecoboost Engine Carbon Deposits: What You Need to Know

    Good question that I'd like to know myself. I take my '14 Sport to the dealer I bought it from for service. I'm sure they use bulk oil.

    New Car Time... questions about the Sport

    +1 on Kirsten's statement. Same with my 14 Sport I bought back in September. I did put 8k down on it though,,, just me. You sound like a young man with a good head on his shoulders. You will do well. :thumbsup: Your story sounds almost like mine with the old Subie. I bought a new 2001 Outback...

    Ya think? :D I've had iPhone since the 3 when they came out to public. The only problem I ever had was on my 4, the on/off button became useless after a year. Carrying my regular 5 now for 2 years and I'm thinking about a regular 6,,, just waiting for the new to wear off. I have an S3 as my work...

    Delivery Day - Sep 18, 2014

    My Ford salesman and I took 4 weeks to find the '14 I wanted,,, he found it and delivered it to me 2 weeks ago. This was the first picture I took of it in front of my apt building. Me,,, giggling like a little school girl. In my 53 years, this is only the 2nd time I have felt like a got a...

    new SYNC Software V3.7 update

    Same here. Just registered with My Ford last night to activate SYNC, said there were 4 software updates I needed for my new 2014 EX Sport. Downloaded the zip file according to directions, went to extract it with the built MS unzip and like you all, invalid file. I tried a couple different ways...

    I Can't Think of Anything, Yet,,,

    Thanks Peter. I did join the Elite membership a few days ago but I haven't read all the stickys in the New Member section. My bad, I should know better. Thanks! The reason might very well be that I've been driving small vehicles since before 1990 with the exception of a 1995 F-250 and am...

    I Can't Think of Anything, Yet,,,

    I can't think of anything I don't like about my new 2014 Explorer Sport,,,yet. I did the intro thing here last week just before I got my Sport. My salesman delivered it to me late that afternoon, 9-18-2014 right to my apartment. A little over a week and ~700 miles later, I'm as happy as a...

    Subaru Owner for the Second Time

    I'm sorry I'm late getting back to you Brooklyn,,, gotta work more hours to afford this thing. Supposed to get it this evening! :D I have the NA 2.5L H4. I like the engine, it's the same displacement as my 2001 Outback albeit quite a bit more smooth. I am attributing my dislike of the CVT to...

    Subaru Owner for the Second Time

    Thank you for the welcome Brooklyn. From what I've found, Subaru uses a "chain" belt drive, not toothed like one would think. I don't know if that has anything to do with it or not, but it feels like a snow mobile to me, or centrifugal clutch on an old go-cart if you will. Changes in...

    Subaru Owner for the Second Time

    But not for much longer me thinks. Hey folks, Newbie here to your forum but not a newbie to forums. I come with hat in hand hoping to learn some things from you all. Long story short, lost job a few years ago, out of work for almost 2 years and my old 2001 Outback kept me on the road...
