That's a great post. Answers a lot of questions! Only thing I feel I am missing out on is the "real stitching" on the dash. The fake stuff does look a little cheap. Personally I would rather have that than the chrome surrounds though. Good that the little extras justify the high cost of the custom pack for those that have gone with it!
Itd be interesting to compare Etis from a non custom & custom pack vehicle to see what the differences in trim are.
How many times do we need to say this? The sales guys at the dealers only know what Ford UK tell them, which is nothing more than is on the website.
You don't remember because it wasn't mentioned. I have sent an email to our friend Andy about this issue and he responded to say "I must confess I don’t know the answer, but I will ask the product team to advise you directly". I will post up here when I receive an email back from them.
Out of interest, who's Andy?
Depends on what you've ordered. The Custom Pack people won't have the premium trim like their continental counterparts (despite paying a premium price). But the non-custom people wont have to worry about 'trim envy' or feel annoyed at not being given the full information at the time of ordering.
I had to read it a couple of times, but pretty sure he means RHD all get same interior. RHD are much much lower volume so it makes sense that they wouldn't make two dashboards. They could have made them all premium, rather than base though!
