No pics yet... first impressions? Great driver (as my Mazda6 is), but too much plastic in the interior.

If it's anything like ours, I really think he is going to love it. For the money it’s really a class piece. :nsmile:

He's definitely liking the way it drives

OK, what the HELL is with the COMPLETE lack of a digital clock int eh Milan?

BTW- Very comfortable car, nice driver, but WHAT THE HELL IS WITH THE CLOCK?

 

[Cross Bolt]

Doesn't it have the analog clock in the center of the dash? Some of our breathern call it the Baby Ben.

Yes, it has the analog clock, that's my point. Analog is nice as a finishing touch, but it isn't USEFUL.

What I like about it is that you can see it with out turning on the ignition. Anyway, someone was talking about reprogramming the radio so you could see the digital clock. I guess all the Ford radios have it inside but it's turned off on different models.

Yeah there's absolutely no reason either the dash or radio displays don't show the time.

What is not useful about an analog clock? You glance over and know the time...quarter past six, half past six, almost seven works fine for most people. do you really need to know that is is 6:17???

If I had both clocks I'd always be conflicted as to which one to look at! :lol:

 

[mz6zoomzoom]

Yes, you really do need to know it's 6:17. In today's world things happen at exact time... traffic comes on at 6:13, not 6:15, etc.

Not to mention an analog clock, no matter how "useful," is simply more distracting to read than a digital clock.

How does your Dad feel about the clock?
