When ford did the press release about the XR4 i rang a few dealers. They kept trying to correct me by saying.. You mean XR5T??? lol... at which point i hung up. To be honest if you want to know for sure. keep an eye out for press releases and ignore what the dealers say.. ALL LIES I TELL YOU NODDY

Double Clutch 6 speed as simmilar to Golf will be a great addition IMO. Thats a seriously good tranny there; more economical and even a bit quicker than the Golf 6 Manuals. Dont know that Id take it for the track but for the street = different story.

One or two more premium colors to choose from, and stereo controls on the wheel!!
My only wishes! |

It already has stereo controls on the steering column that work perfectly, no need to change that!

IMO I think wheel mounted controls would be better, as I have had a Territory then a XR6 and I am just used to it!

Agreed. That audio stalk is a silly design for me. I use the steering wheels controls in my territory but just us the dial on the console in the focus. I find I tend to hit my knee on it a bit too.

Each to their own I guess. I had my Focus for 4 years and found it much better in that when you've got the steering wheel on lock or turning out of a driveway, the stalk is always in the same spot. I've lost count of the number of times I've wanted to turn the radio down or up when turning out of a carpark or driveway in my XR8 and had to look at the wheel to work out which side the volume was on... I always found the stereo buttons in the column a good solution as they never moved.
Cruise control is different as nobody ever has cruise armed on more than a few degrees of steering lock anyway! My 2c anyway.
