In October of last year, I got a gig (I'm a mechanical engineer contractor) working at a company whose location required me to drive in commuter traffic. BIG shock, after working from home for 5 years. My daily driver ride was 2007 Mustang Shelby GT with its 330hp V8. So, low gas mileage and stop and go traffic with a stick shift was not something I looked forward to twice a day.

 

After research, I bought a used 2014 FFE Titanium from the local Ford dealer and got the car pool lane stickers. I really liked the car, the gas mileage and it's ability to drive in the car pool lane. However, it only have nav and the moonroof as far as options.

 

Then it happened!!. At the annual San Francisco Car Show during Thanksgiving week, I saw a 2017 FFE Platinum. That leather interior with the diamond stitching in various areas...WOW!!. It was Velvet Burgundy and looked gorgeous under the florescent lights of the Auto Show Arena.

 

Plus, by then, I was having buyers remorse over the 2014, since it lacked all of the electronic driving aids. And the Platinum had them all.

 

Long story short, ended up leasing the 2017 FFE Platinum, in, you guessed it, Velvet Burgundy. And I absolutely love it!!

 

The 2014 is up for sale.
