I discovered this Fordism on Thursday on way to lakeside in the howling rain. i did a quick flick on the wipers to clean screen and the auto turned off.

I have found the cargo netting though and i Like that

The cargo net is a fiddle to fit though as well! Would be better if it was integrated in the roller load cover.

Another thing I would like to see (on any car) would be a little 'vertical roller cover' rising from the boot floor to the bottom of the roller load cover. This would stop everything falling out of the boot when its opened.

Its not too bad opening a boot if its manual as you can control it going up, although mine is electric and if any luggage has moved during transit, it falls out!!

I seriously think this is one of the best cars I have owned. I'm kicking myself that I didn't think of getting one earlier.

If I had to say, it would be the way the struts don't hold the boot lid open in cold weather.

A 99 V70 2.4t SE.

It used to be the fact that I was thousands of miles away driving a horrible American specced Mazda 6 auto in a country full of nutter drivers. Now the only thing I don't like about her is that she didn't appreciate her 4 month holiday and is now punishing me by not working properly ha ha.

Still, I haven't lost faith in her yet, she will come good, I know she will because I've experienced her at her best, once...
