I have XM in one car and Sirius in the other. Liked it when I had a 2 hour commute, not so much with my current 8 minute trip to work. When the free period runs out, I will not subscribe. I really don't see any benefit to paying for it when I can get plenty of radio for free and it doesn't drop every time I'm under an overpass or in a tunnel. I tried to buy a vehicle with out satellite radio and if I'd ended up ordering one I would have done without, but I got great deals on both vehicles and negotiated the price down to compensate for the unwanted additions. The dealers were welcome to, and encouraged to, remove the satellite equipment, both choose not to do so.

That's just BS. Navteq provides the data that Ford is willing to pay for. They also supply the data for the Nav in my 2004 Inifiniti G35, which has more streets, 13 million more POI's and is considerably more up to date than the software in my brand new Edge, and it's 4 years older. I might actually purchase a new DVD for the Infiniti, but I'll probably buy a new nav for the Ford. I will never pay money for a Navigation system from Ford again. Biggest waste of 2 large ever.

Tires are 1 year/12,000 miles. Wheels are in the B2B 3/36,000 category.

Just for reference, my '07 AWD SEL + has been a steady 17-18 MPG in town and 24-26 on the highway.. and that is manual calculation, not the computer... though it reports withing a tenth or so.. usually under actual.

BINGO

There is one screw under the pad at the bottom of the finger pull on each door.

I just ordered GR8 D4NE. I haul 3 of them around with me just about everywhere I go.
