2011 for incentives, the 2012 might have a few more bugs worked out of the car though.

 

That's why I'm waiting - I've read enough threads about ticking noises, clutch problems, grinding gears, etc. - Maybe Ford can figure out what's going on and fix them all.

 

You're always going to see more posts about problems than no problems. The people with problem free cars are out enjoying them.

 

If the new options arent an issue then buy a 2011 and save some money. As for bugs all cars have bugs If they didnt we wouldnt need service departments and warranties. Good luck on your purchase.

 

i'm happy i waited for 2012 i feel better with my order, many faults are corrected without ever hearing anything about officially (i just see it at my work).

 

The big $$$ stuff will be corrected but some issues may never get fixed.

Like on the '05-'09 cars:

Hood corrosion
1-2 shift issues when cold
Trans plate buzz (still does it on my '08)
Exhaust heat shield rattle.

etc, etc.

Granted, there are TSBs but still issues exist.

 

I ordered a 12 but seriously considering the 11 because of incentives and my 750 coupon.

 

They're finally putting in lighted visors/Homelink?!?! Frak!! I'd love Homelink again.

Wonder if there'll be a way (like order-able Ford part) to upgrade the '11 visors to this.

 

I've heard the '11s are pre-wired for the visors, but can't confirm this. I'd also like to get part numbers for the visors with Homelink so we can start investigating this further.

 

Well someone may be buying my car I was going to trade so if I sell it going to have to go with an 11.

 

Wow that would be awesome!! Missing Homelink was one of the very few sorespots I have about my car.

 

what is homelink?

 

I'm with you. Not a huge gripe, but it would have been nice.
