So what do you guys think of Sync 3? For me it's been a very pleasant surprise. By most accounts Sync 2 was a dog, so I didn't expect much from Sync 3 aside from it reportedly being more responsive. Having lived with it for a few weeks, I think it's an excellent system. We also recently bought a brand new Honda Pilot, and I can say unequivocally that Sync 3 destroys Honda's miserable infotainment system. At first glance the Sync 3 interface is not as "pretty" as some others, but the dark on light daytime theme is admirably glare proof, and most everything is readable and logically designed. It passed my "I should be able to figure this out without a manual" test with flying colors. I also like Ford's two instrument cluster displays on either side of the speedometer, although I'd like to see those screens updated to higher performance LCD's. The digital tach in particular is too small and runs at a low frame rate which limits its usefulness. I'll bet for the next generation Ford goes in the same direction as Audi and replaces the whole instrument cluster with a large LCD display on higher end models, but we'll see (Audi's virtual cockpit is superb.)
