Just picked up my 06 HSE and has been very happy so far coming from a P38 (I still have it). Amazed at the power, smoothness and ride comfort (a bit stiffer than the old rangie but generally a better ride).
My initial concern is the steering effort...too light specially at low speed although it improves at high speed. I also feel a slight tugging on the steering during light acceleration from a standstill while turning...something yould feel from an old front wheel drive car with bad CV joints minus the clacking noise. Bad ball joint? Bushing? There is also a slight knock when going over small bumps...they could all be related.
My next concern is also during initial accelation, i hear a slight whine along with some grinding sound that goes away as you build up speed. Wheels bearing maybe? It has the 20's supercharge alloys with Conti UHP 60% thread left and no visible cupping on the thread.
The vehicle has only 26,XXX kms but i expect a lot of wear and tear being here in the Philippines...a lot of stop and go driving and very bad roads.
