No problems.
Pros:
Cabin in the Titanium X is well built, everything fits together nicely and works well, certainly comparable to my previous Audi.
Integrated Satnav/bluetooth phone is the best system I have ever used. You can either use the large touchscreen or the steering wheel mounted controllers and the central Convers+ display.
With IVDC, the car seems to be even more comfortable that I remember the test cars (a Titanium X sport and a Titanium X on 17" alloys), with the IVDC set to comfort you barely notice any road imperfections, with it set to 'sport' you can throw the car around with confidence.
Keyless entry / starting has worked without fault (unlike some owners) - it's great to just walk up to the car pull the handle get in press the start button and drive off. On the Titanium X the power folding mirrors now fold away when the car is locked, so it is easy to tell from afar if the car is locked or not.
I have had no problem with water from the tailgate (Ford have changed the design of the drainage on the tailgate recently) or water obscuring the wing mirrors (may they have changed something in this area as well).
After 1000 miles the engine is starting to loosen up and the performance seems to be getting better and better, although the engine needs to be kept up to speed (2000rpm+) for best response. My previous Audi 2.7 V6 TDI would pull like a train from about 1200rpm!
Cons:
Whilst the drivers seat is very comfortable and highly adjustable (8 way electric seat plus lumbar support), I find that it does not quite go low enough for my liking.
Going from Audi to Ford must have been hard. I feel for you.
If you're used to driving late-model European cars, Audi to (European) Ford is not such a big deal. The LOOK of the car is subjective, but the feel, such as doors shutting, the tactile switchgear, plastics, or the steering response, isn't that much off these days. Different if you're comparing American Fords -- they're a world apart.
I purchased a new shape Mondeo six speed 1.8 125 diesel hatchback with a 57 plate, and must mention that one has a very big car for what was always considered to be a middle range family saloon.
My car was nearly new with only 3000 miles, and being only the basic Edge model, it offered some good extras that the previous owner had specified on ordering, which included metallic thunder paint plus alloy wheels, and really important a parking assist sound system, which I am amazed is not standard on the higher spec models.
The car gives excellent mpg fuel results, although my wife says it is too powerful, and on the rare occasions when I "Go with the Wind", she says that the force of the acceleration pushes her hard back into the seat - can you believe that!
Overall it's a great car, and everything it offered has worked perfectly from the day I bought it, plus one feels good just being in it and driving this vehicle.
