New SPORT car in the stable

You sure it is not km/hr?

Here I was trying to help you by translating to americanish

OMG. That's so nice! A manual too! And the paint color and stripes. Love it all!

I wish I could add that to my stable. Our 2018 Ford Transit (auto - full size cargo) has been a great vehicle.

Set up a nice locking cargo sliding door in mine - no rattles. And some rear glass protection. Bring on the Zombie Apocalypse!

Interesting to see adaptive cruise on a manual. That's not available on any stick shift car in the US. Do other Euro spec manual cars have that as an option? Does it disengage below a certain speed?

Now with a few hundred miles on the clock I can better describe the adaptive cruise and how it works

Cruise works in all taller gears - at least from 3rd and up.

Most interesting discovery is that while on cruise it will let you up and downshift and still keep cruise speed locked. In other cars any touch of brake or clutch will disengage the cruise - and you then have to reingage cruise.

In the Transit it works almost like a semi auto as you just shift without having to revmatch.

So unless traffic comes to a complete stop or walking speed I can actually just keep it set to 75 mph, let the adaptive cruise do its magic and help out shifting gear if speed changes too much

Really great system

Wow, I really do want one now. What's it's rated towing capacity?

Transit vans are great. Properly quick with the 3.5 Ecoboost. AWD coming in 2020.
