Not counting looks , performance etc, what feature, gizmo or innovation on your Scorpio gives you the most childish pleasure , which you never tire of pointing out or demonstrating to friends , family or anyone who is foolish enough to show any interest.
My personal favourite is the passenger door mirror which dips when reverse is selected, to enable perfect parallel parking. Genius!!
The Puddle lights are great too!

OK, well if I'm not allowed to say the O/D button, I'm going to go with the boot release button from the remote.
Or... global closing

I have to agree with the mirror, but i'm not sure witch one; reverse dipping or rear dimming?
Mmm, I'll ponder!!

For me that'd have to be the mysterious missing clutch : o. Never going back to manual.
Ok actual feature gizmo thing.. the vanity mirror! Yes. Ha. Or the cruise control. I love that. Love it.
Yis.

PS, Mr Flop, good question!

Jeez, thanks Stevelufc, another feature of the Scorpio that I never knew about.

Do all Scorps have this AVC?
In mine I have found the menu setting on the radio and have set it to +7 but I don't notice any difference in the volume at any speeds

For me - its turning on the headed seat and waiting for my passenger to start moving from cheek to cheek
Oh and the heated windscreen is great too!
Daven
PS Vulcan - if the radio has the feature it should work, maybe the speed sensor wire is dodgy (think its the yellow one?)

The best Toy for me is the pedal under your right foot.
It's so much fun gentle pressure gives the quite soft ride of a limousine full pressure gives the feel of a monster sports car.I can honestly say never been beaten yet...yes I know it's all showing off and bravado and so on but the people who say what's the point of having a owerful car have never driven one.It's such good fun!!!!

I have a quick question regarding the remote boot opening thingy...
When you press the boot unlock button, should the boot swing open all the way? Mine doesn't! I think it's stiff/not lubricated enough/springs are too loose or too tight.

dave...
yes to that,the springs can be adjusted,but from what other members have reported,it looks like it could be a 3/4 man job,the springs are very difficult to manipulate apparently...

Really... right. One for the January meet then? Heh. Well that's cleared that mystery up anyway. People keep saying how good the automatic boots are and i'm thinking eh? It just sort of lifts a bit!
At least the boot isn't too important!
Cheers for that.
