[QUOTE="racebannon, post: 1553110, member: 43692"] Amigo, 4500 miles since taking delivery on 8/26. Amazing vehicle for daily driving. Getting back into my 5 series feels so off after driving the Raptor regularly. Nothing wrong with the 5 series, but the all-in-one capabilities of the Raptor, the power/speed, and spaciousness of the interior is essentially unmatched both in and out of this segment. Plus feeling like an overjoyed kid every time I look at it is always a plus haha. Ride quality: On par if not much better than the 5 series that’s for sure. Handling in sport mode is surprisingly good, only a bit of initial “squish” from the tires but it feels like it tracks. Try it out on curved on/off ramps. Cabin noise: almost not there. Sound system: B&O sound system is pretty darn good and have no complaints. Not as good as the 15 speaker HK in the 5 series but I’ve never had a moment where I was even remotely close to unhappy with the audio quality. Seats: Non-Recaro*, leather is great and seats are perfect. Love ventilated seats! Storage: basically enough to pack an entire apartment. You can’t find enough to fill this thing. Adaptive cruise control with stop and go: This is honestly amazing. It’s not quite like the systems in the S class and other luxury cars, but rather fits more with the aggressive overall ethos of the vehicle. I love it. Ford Pass App: can schedule vehicle starts. Using this way more than I thought I would. Also other little things like oil life, scheduling service appointments, fuel level, etc. Fuel economy: gets better as you drive it from new... also maybe better after putting on a tonneau cover to. I’ve been between 16.7-17.3 since installing the cover. Full tank can yield you over 600 miles going 70-75. Joy factor: unmatched. The only other vehicle I’ve felt this level of excitement driving, getting in/out of, and walking up to/away from is the Porsche 911. End of story. For anyone who has managed to get to the end of my rambling: go buy a Raptor now. I recommend a Magnetic 802A SCREW :). Might be one of, if not the best daily out there. Go from the office up a mountain and back in the same day. [/QUOTE]
