1st post in this forum. My wife got bored of the Escape Hybrid and wanted something more fun to drive. I've pretty much always been a Ford guy so of course...
Traded in the hybrid for this 2012 with under 12k miles. I wouldn't have out the fake scoops on there myself but the wife loves how it looks and after all... It is "her" car ;-)
And... Now she's bragging that she has more HP than I do ;-). I've banned her from horsing around with the traction control as she has never had a fast car and will mostly "grocery go get", seem like a good idea?
I did a search... Honest I did. I'm looking for a straightforward explanation of what the traction control (multiple settings?) does in this car, and how/when to turn it off.
Nice car. Really nice car. I dig the stripes and the hood scoop. The traction control in my '06 has just two settings - on and off. I turn it off to do burnouts and leave it on the rest of the time. Probably best she just leave it on...
Mine's a 2012 3.7 and it's hold the button 6 seconds for full off. Also there is a button on the side of the Automatic shifter that will make the tranny a 5 speed instead of 6. push to turn on and off.
New CS40's on the car. Staggered 20x10 and 20x9 with Nitto nt555 275/35/20 and 255/35/20. More excited to get the Suspension parts in the car now and get it lowered where it should be.
I was finally able to pickup a nice 2013 Mustang, brought it back all the way from Atlanta. I've had 3 fox bodies and a 2002 GT, but this car is so much better! Car feels solid and capable, and I love the Deep Impact Blue.
I'll get better shots in the next few days when it stops raining.
