Reviewed a 2015 Ford SE on Apr 1, 2015

Very comfortable car. I chose the 2.0 Ecoboost and I am very happy I did. It has no issues with power when you want it. I was willing to sacrifice the extra MPG for the fun factor. I use this as my daily commuter. Commute is 25 miles each way. 20 miles freeway and 5 miles in town driving form my house to freeway. Currently have just over 4000 miles on the car and I am averaging 26 mpg on the nose. I have the SE with the sport package so it has dual exhaust, black interior with red stitching, trunk lid spoiler, fog lights and 5 spoke wheels. We have 3 little girls from 10 months to 10 years and they fit comfortably in the back for trips to grandmas. Trunk is nice. A set or two of golf clubs will easily fit in there. It has sync, but I opted to skip the myford touch since Ford is phasing it out this year due to the horrible reviews and effect on its reliability ratings. I have a windows phone, so syncing it up to the car is awesome. I can talk to Cortana at the touch of a button on the steering wheel. Just drove it through the mountains to the cabin and I was very pleasantly surprised at how it handled. I put it in cruise control over a mountain pass and it did not have to shift down at all to maintain speed. It stayed in 6th gear all the way up the mountain at 65 mph. Going back down the mountain when in cruise it will shift down to maintain speed which is very convenient as well since I did not have to ride the brakes down the hill to maintain speed. In fact, I didn't even touch the brake pedal. Overall this is a very fun car to drive. I have yet to take it on a long trip, but I am thinking the seats might get uncomfortable for log periods of time due to the length of the seat bottom. It reaches out to about mid thigh. I'm thinking it probably should reach out a couple more inches, close to underneath your knee for optimum comfort. I am 6'0, so maybe its just me. My wife is 5'3 and has no issues with it.
