Big American SUV built over there and Ford's attempt to capture some of the big SUV European market. From what I've read, it's a soft riding comfortable thing and fairly decent, although obviously not a sports car. Not my kind of thing at all but worth looking at if you're in the market for something like that. Powershift has a terrible reputation, no idea if there are trans issues with this model. But it's certainly a big thing with a lot of "presence". I understand 30 to 35 mpg off this site's data.

Is that the manual or auto?

This will be referring to the 'powershift' dual clutch automated manual.

The 210 hp version you're looking at is only available with the powershift auto.

I did a lot of miles in one last summer in the States and it was very good. However, like a lot of US cars what worked very well in the USA might not work quite so well over here. It felt very much like a typical domestic market Ford and while a slushmatic petrol worked well (and drank fuel) I think it might struggle as a concept which works in the UK.

Have to admit, on the few occasions I did use the "S" or Sport mode, it worked well. Clearly it's designed to change gear automatically if you push the revs too high in manual mode, but being a fairly conservative driver I never took it that far. Something like that in a less complex box would no doubt be a useful addition.
