What do you dislike most about your FX?

the seats bottoms are a touch to narrow. The cup holder that does not hold cups and lack of any input for IPhone or MP3
 
What you need is call the "door check" replaced. Its the black plastic that goes between the door and the frame. It may have been worn out, but I found hard to believe your 08 is doing that already. One part# for all doors, 82430-8Y90A
 
Is there an aftermarket door check that is stronger or firmer than OEM? Seems like mine was always on the weaker side. Gotta watch that left shin when parked on even the slightest incline.

I may go the cheap route and purchase one of those cassette with a wire to plug into my phone. For whatever reason my FX still has a cassette player. My ford was able to bluetooth which was nice.

look up USAspec they have an interface to add iphone to FX's

also i have seen a lot of comments that i cant believe me 03 does nto have bluetooth and still has a casette, keep in mind in 2003 technology in cars was not that far along, for example. my mother owns a 2004 SL500.... 03 FXs where what? 40K? an 04 SL500 was what? 85K? that car does not have bluetooth and still has a casette. now I have added bluetooth to it. but still the point that before 2005 it was not so uncommon for high end cars to not have bluetooth or Ipod control.

9 out of 10 times when I open the door it will want to close on me almost right way. And I am not swinging the door open causing it to bounce back.
 
After I added sound deadening material to the doors, if I'm ever on an incline, I have to make sure the door doesn't take my foot clean off.
 
I have an 05 but I get your point. I guess It just seems odd to me. Maybe in 05 they were marketing to people who could afford this car which would be older crowd.
 
The stiffness of the suspension. Not that I mind, but most Toronto roads are in such bad condition now (potholes are everywhere) that me and the family get jostled around quite a bit.

Wow, I thought the ride was very compliant. What tires are you running?
I run 20" Yokohomas and the ride is great.
 
I'm running stock rims with 18" Bridgestones (came from the dealership new). Come take a ride on Kipling Ave between Eglinton and Bloor...bone jarring.

Oh...and there is one other thing...the rear coat hooks are so small that it is difficult to hang a hanger for your suit jacket. The hook is also too close to the pull-down handle which makes hooking in the loop to your jacket difficult.:smile (2):

The fact that the Mic for the Bluetooth sucks so bad that I just can't use it.

And the cup holders that don't really hold cups too well.

YESS!!! I TOTALLY agree! I don't even use the Bluetooth in my FX because the mic sucks balls! People can barely hear me. I just use a Bluetooth earpiece instead.
