We're purchasing from Avis, and happy, with the process, so far. However, I detest certain features. Few front passenger seats are comfortable in any new foreign/domestic model. Ford makes passenger-side 6 or 8-way power seat adjustment exceedingly expensive. Seat comfort should be a basic feature.The same problem with dashboards. Black dashes are ugly and absorb excessive heat. The dash is what people spend hours looking at, not the exterior. Why should we have to look at hearse-color all our in-vehicle hours? Ford, are you saying your vehicles are coffins? The two cars I have most enjoyed over my lifetime had sky-blue interiors inc. the entire dash. Despite being small, cheap and rough-riding, they consistently brought emotional uplift, imprinting powerful fond memories. The Edges/Explorers huge black dashboards are chronic downers. We'll have to find/make a cover for the one we buy. If you want customers to maintain a lifelong positive sense about your vehicles, provide seat comfort and dash color appeal.
