In Houston TX for a week, and my rental is a black convertible ecoboost. Pretty nice, though I do miss the interior of the Taurus.
the exhaust sound is noticeable, but almost like it tried to hard to be vocal. Its not a bad sound, but it is not a great tone. It sounds like Ford engineering tried anything they could to get it sounding like a Stang... but fell short. The car is not as fast as I was hoping, but the gas mileage is great.
I will say that the track options are great. And the proxy sensor is a cool feature added to the alarm. However, the absolute coolest feature is the gauge display options. Its basically a Torque display right on the dash. It starts off as a listing of all the available gauges, showing a digital number. You can then pick a specific gauge and get a larger view in a varying gauge format (for example, the boost display shows as an analog half circle meter). It would be awesome if we could get these pulled into our dash!
