Astonishing car!

I have owned this car for five months and still cannot believe all that it does and with such ease. And this is from a car that is 15 years old. From seat, side mirrors, tilt and telescopic steering wheel all of which retain memory positions for two drivers, to the side mirrors automatic lowering when the car is put in reverse to monitor the curbs and they going back to where they were previously set when you shift back into drive. The JBL sound system with build ins sub is specifically EQ tuned for the cabin. The car monitors so many things from traction control to transmission temperature. The list goes on and one, not to mention the 290 all aluminium motor right down to the block with 4 overhead cams, which gets 28 mph with a heavy foot. The car has such great finesse, drives amazing and has such power that it feels like it is lifting off the ground when you get in to it. Handles amazing too! And the suspension lowers and inch or so once you drive 80km or faster for better aero dynamics. Has an easy entry mode that moves the seat back and tilts the wheel so it is easier to get out and then sets to which driver has entered the vehicle. If you push the top of the seat forward the seat automatically starts moving forward and the list goes on and on. It has a neon brake light that lights up 2.5 times (approx.) faster than halogen which improves safety for the driver as it alerts the other drivers sooner of breaking then reg. bulbs do. In 97 they came standard with HID headlights which were fully automatic. Lincoln has had this feature since back in 1978, possibly sooner. All regular options like auto dimming rear view mirror etc. and the list goes on and on. Beyond unreal for a 1997 car.
