Adaptive cruise control is my #1.
Ambient lighting.
Voice activated MFT.
Power liftgate, although I wish the window part could open separately.
Cross traffic alert.
Rear view camera.
Auto unlock/lock using door handle.

ahh yes, actually the way you can unlock and lock the car from the door handle without using the key or number pad is probably my favorite.
 






For me, the favorite option is the power liftgate.
 






Ambient Lighting is probably my favorite feature. I love how Ford has ambient lighting in all their vehicles. My second favorite feature is the power fold seats. It's so nice being able to just hit a button so the seats lay flat for storage.
 






Adaptive Cruise Control for me
 






I too have the power folding third row, which I like. However I wonder if/when the motor goes out or something malfunctions if it's a must to have it fix for it to work. Will it be able to start working manually or if there is some work to switch them to manual that the dealership will have to do.

that's my only concern about the power folding third row.
 






I'm loving the heated steering wheel, and it's not even cold out yet!
 






I must say that I love the BLIS, Cross Traffic Alert and Collision Alert features of the 2013 Limited Ex.

What I'm most happy about tho is the ride comfort. Since the roads here aren't exactly US or Canadian standards, good suspension systems are a necessity for the travel.

I also agree that I'm bit weary about the 3rd row power folding seats and the power lift gate in the future. But then again, the parts will come cheaper by then.
 






I really like voice activated features and camera. Comparing to Dodge you can actually use the camera and picture is pretty clear.
 






Gotta go with the pair of turbos under the hood.
 






I really like BLIS and I really like the electrically assisted steering
 






Here are my favorite features....

1) The looks
2) The options on the steering wheel and dash
3) Setting the cruise control at 87MPH and getting 22.5MPG in a "three rower"

4) Power Liftgate
5) Autostart
6) Auto up switches for front windows.
7) my iPhone address book available

I have the XLT so no ambient light or power folding stuff.
 






1. adaptive cruise
2. auto high beam
3. lane keeping
4. key stays in pocket
 






Dual sunroofs for sure! Then, all the MFT features and the roomy and very usable third row
 






This might sound dumb but I really like the Easy Fuel Capless Gas Cover. Call me lazy but I find it annoying to have to use regular gas caps after owning my ex.
 






1. adaptive cruise
2. auto high beam
3. lane keeping
4. key stays in pocket
5. Voice control (when it works)
 






Here are my favorite features....

3) Setting the cruise control at 87MPH and getting 22.5MPG in a "three rower"

You must have the V4 model because I can only get 18MPG when I set mine to 68MPH
 






Auto unlock/lock using door handle.

Peter

How do you lock it from the door handle? And don't tell me to read the manual lol.
