are the soft tops reliable keeping the rain out?

if anything get a manual v8, you wont regret it. By the way, ford's softtops are really reliable

That is not 100% true, though it is one of the causes of a possible water leak and yes, it ranges from 2005 to 2009. I'm not sure if 2010 had that problem still.

Mine comes down the passenger A-line pillar in a thin stream, if the sun, moon, stars, clouds and rain align correctly, oh and gravitational pull. I am lucky to not have any SJB problems but it didn't happen enough for me to worry, though I park in a garage now.

The black and red is nice, but it is normal for our "leather" seats to form cracks. Not rips but it will have lines and wrinkles in it and it tends to get dirty so it looks even worse. It's even worse with red since the dye sometimes does not want to stay... so be careful what you use to clean it with.

Another thing that comes to mind is that if you like to listen to anything, such as mp3 player, your phone, etc, only 2007+ have an aux in jack. Otherwise you will have to mod or put in a new system.

Again, it's your choice if you want an auto or manual. You'll be driving it, not us.

P.S. it's hard to tell if there is a water leak without it actually being wet. If you do smell dampness, moldiness, etc, then it's probably a sign it does leak.

anyway to repair the leather dudes?
do these motors use hydraulic valve adjustment?
is the cam driven by chains?
is the hydraulic clutch heavy?

are the gearboxes reliable? problem is every ford i have ever owned has been nothing but trouble..that was back in the 90's though..ford sierra was a nightmare to own..
cheers ole phucker

you are dangersouly close to cussing and getting a warning.. I like it! However, I have no clue on your questions.

This whole thread reminds me of Battlestar Gallactica ,.... frakking.

hydraulic valve adjustment or manual?
camshafts...belt or chain driven?
clutch heavy or light under foot?

v6's are not bad by any means so dont get me wrong, they have their place, but im sure everyone here can relate when i say this: as soon as you purchase a v6, youll start getting an "itch" for that v8 power, sound and growl. Let alone its an auto
