stick30 Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 Hello All, Just bought a loaded 12' Edge Ltd with EcoBoost White Platinum. I love it. My first few items on the checklist is to tint the two front windows, Find a less noticeable antenna, add License plate frames, and maybe add a proclip mount for my iPhone.

attana Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 Can you tell when the doors in the grill open and close? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stick30 Posted January 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 (edited) I really haven't noticed the active shutters opening and closing but I really haven't been listening for it. Does anyone know at what speed they close? 250 mile in and I am still loving it, no problems with the MFT than just a little slow but hopefully the update will take care of that. The cross traffic warning already paid for itself....was in another world for some reason backing out of the drive then that thing went off WHEW!.

stick30 Posted January 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 (edited) As for the EcoBoost I am really pleased. When I drove the V6 I was surprised how doggy it was. Keep in mind I am not an auto buff and only drove the V6 once so my opinion probably does not carry much. It just seemed like it was always in the lowest gear and even when smashed the pedal down the reaction was slow and the pick up was slow. Almost like it was made for pulling something. Anyway, the MPG is still unknown but have 250 on the first full tank and have about a 1/4 tank left. I will keep track at the pump and see. But I am pleased with the performance of the ecoboost so far Edited January 11, 2012 by stick30 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
attana Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 Are the grill doors control by speed or temp. I assumed the latter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gimp Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 Can you tell when the doors in the grill open and close? After two months and 2,836 miles on my Ecoboost I have not heard or felt a thing to tell me when the active shutters are engaged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
