Initial thoughts --
1. This thing is QUICK out of the factory. I'm betting that it is faster than my SHO LMS v10 tune.
2. The Apple Car Play is an awesome feature, but I need to figure out how to make it go away when I want to use my Nav instead.
3. I didn't go with the revel audio option, and I've already regretted it in 24 Hours of owning the car. (plans for a sub + amp already). I love music, the SHO hands down has a better system versus the stock MKZ system. ($1700 is a lot to stomach for a new system)
4. The ride quality is AMAZING with the active damping. I actually ride the car in Comfort mode. When I put it into sport, it automatically and instantly stiffens the ride.
5. The active noise cancellation is pretty sweet too. The drive is, in fact, quiet. It fully embraces the quiet luxury.
6. The car has an intelligent AWD monitoring system. It actually maps out what wheel is getting power. It revealed what we have been saying about the Ford AWD systems. These cars are almost 100% FWD in low RPMs. When you punch it, the Power goes to the rear. This is different than European cars (BMW, AUDI), where the power is primarily the REAR, and include the front in full acceleration.
Very interesting stuff. I'll have a few videos made when I have a few moments to get around to it.
