So - aside from my little nightmare the month after I got it (stupid blind spots), things have gone very smoothly with the Green Gem (daughter still calls it "Sebastian").
I've had minimal trouble with MFT, good gas mileage, awesome mountain trip (North Carolina area - my mom lives down there) - no issues with the trans or brakes.
HOWEVER - this past week when I went to fill 'er up, the pump kept shutting off. Like it would go a sec and then *clunk* - done. I messed with it, only put in about 5 gallons because I was tired of it. Husband tried the next day or two and it did the same thing.
Saturday morning - I got the message "Check Fuel Fill Inlet" yellow error on the left cluster screen. ARGH!
So - it's sitting at the Dealership hopefully for 3 things: Oil change (I've been bad - but so busy), The gas inlet error and my MFT update to 3.2.2.
I will say though, that when I have running around to do (which is often), I prefer my X to my husband's 08 Fusion. That thing feels like my butt is dragging on the ground!! I like to be up higher than that.
So - my 6mo review - I'd do it again but I'd still fix the 3rd row headrests and make the windows taller. Even the new Expedition has huge windows like the mini-vans do. Why not the X? Anyways - whatever, it is what it is and I'd not trade it.
