This is a feature I also want for my car.. but we must distinguish between three different features:
1) Honk when locking the car - this is when you turn off the car, get out, close the door and push the lock button on your remote (most cars in US do this);
2) Honk when double-push the...
In Italy periodic vehicle inspections are after 4 years and then every 2 years.
I'm pretty sure they wouldn't notice neither the different exhaust nor the sequential turning lights, or the tribars :D
I have watched many of these inspections, and they never checked what type of exhaust a car has...
Never used Waze in my life :D
Integrated gps could not be the best looking\feature filled system, but it's just right and do the job very well. It looks better since it's integrated in the dash - no support, no power cable - and it lowers the music's volume when speaking.

I'll do the swap in a friend's garage, the first time he asked me only 20 eur IIRC :)
it's not too much work once you lift the car.. the hardest part is to carry the stock exhaust to the garage! I used my parent's motorhome B)
I have the stock exhaust tied to a wall in my garage, and will swap the Magnaflow before the 4-year control.
(even if I bet that it will pass the control.. no one here knows anything about this car)
I remember that the space inside the fog light housing is very tight, and you need a short lamp for replacing.
I swapped the entire fog light with the US led stock one, that fits perfectly without any modification.
Here we are like the poor brother of sweden:
high taxes but medium living standards, free healtcare but very often you need to go paid to have decent standards and times, paid unis even if compared to US they are very low cost (but low school standards), guardanteed pension but they increase...
I totally agree with you. Italy is the same as Greece. I've just written to the municipality asking (since they sais that there's no money to repair it) to CLOSE a 7-km road because there are so many pot holes that it's incredibly dangerous to drive there. And this is a main road leading to the...
Probably since in US european cars have an 'exotic' and exclusive image, they wanted to grab this feature to have major appeal for US customers.
Don't forget that they work primarily for the internal market, that warrant Ford with higher incomes. Export is a relatively small market. Keeping the...
I agree with you Makis: the american taste is fading out.. even if I still like the front and the entire car.
However, if I now try to think to an american 'muscle' car, the first popping in my head is a Challenger. Rude, uneducated and with basic interior like you've ever thought for an...
I suspect that the power of Ecoboost is THE SAME as before, but when 2015 was released they were in a rush so they set a wrong value. Then, after many complaints, they had to correct it, but only in the new version so they could use the excuse of 'something new'..
That way, I'm paying an higher...
