I don't know about the software, but I think cars are built much better today than they used to be. In the 70s I owned a bunch of cars from the 60s (I was a teenager and had no money). If they lasted 100,000 miles that was about their lifespan. Spark plugs had to be changed quite often compared...

Mine has around 27,000 miles. Not much for 3 years, I know. I use a second car depending on where I'm driving and what's more convenient in my driveway. But my service history so far into its life, both by age and mileage, is so much better than my prior Ford, which was a Mercury Mariner.

My Badlands is more than 3 years old and pretty much still drives and sounds as new.

Interesting. I have a '21 Badlands and people comment on how quiet and smooth it is. But that's with all the windows and sunroof closed. With anything open, even a crack, the wind noise is really loud. I can't see anything that would change that besides a body restyling.

Yes, I have seen some Teslas go off road. Awesome.

I've had my Badlands for 3 years (2021 model) and I've had zero issues. Have not even had to service the brakes yet. Only oil changes and washer fluid. People comment on how smooth the car drives.

Tell that to Marisa Tomei. I'm sure she'll have a thing or two to say about it.

The 360 cameras are a great idea. I hope they fixed the rear camera. It's always foggy and if it gets a little water on it it's almost useless. Other cars I drove the rear camera is so much clearer and brighter.

I don't know. Went to the Ford site to check for updates for my 21 BL: Not sure why they don't offer one for free and why it's so expensive just for a download. I guess I'll leave it as is until they reroute all of the streets and change the street names.

That's funny, I've had the car for 2 years and just noticed it a week ago.

We shall see. All I know is that I had to replace my Crosstrek's battery after 2 years.

Nice. What brand are the armrest and console covers?

The styling is great. Though I wouldn't mind a little more luggage and rear seat legroom, but that would entail a major redesign. Just updating the electronics and switches a bit would go a long way with me: Sync 4. Infotainment screen that tilts towards the driver. Music/radio titles that are...

I bought my first car in 1977, when I was 16. It was a 1963 Chrysler 300. (This is a stock photo. Mine looked much worse). 383 cu engine, push-button transmission. I loved that car, but it was kind of beat up (what do you want for $300, even in 1977?). I got into 2 accidents, and eventually...

After the really cool start-up graphics, both the info system and the dash are woefully lacking. A little more pizzaz, please. Perhaps some additional virtual gauges in the dash (on the Fusion the dash gauges changes when you put it into Sport mode, which is pretty cool). An altimeter would be...

I always turn my head and look back. Especially if there might be other cars or obstructions. BTW I love your red color.

I agree. I think the backup camera is horrible. It always looks dirty or something. If I wipe it that fixes it only temporarily. If it rains it fogs up and you can see the water droplets. But they made a big deal about the washer spray but that helps only minimally. Meanwhile my wife's Subaru...

I've had the 4-cyl Badlands for about 10 months now and love it. But I notice that the engine noise, rather than being a smooth sound like most new cars, has a kind of fast clicking sound that varies with the RPMs. Much more noticeable with the hood open. My previous Ford V6 had a smooth...

My brakes never came on in the 8 months I've had the BS, but the "Collision Alert" warning light and sound came on several times. First time I was on an empty road in winter in PA. Everything was white snow and ice, but no cars, and all of a sudden ...BEEEP.BEEP.BEEP.BEEP!!! Scared the hell out...
