Are the recesses on either side of the license plate vents, or just styling features?

They are openings to relieve pressure behind the rear bumper and thus reduce drag.

they’re definitely real vents!

just like on the front bumper and the ducting on the front bumper goes directly to the front brakes.

Observed that the horn button operates the horn behind the grille but the remote panic buttons runs both that one and one below the fusebox. Why not use them both on the button?

Generally curious question that’s not a deal breaker but, do golf clubs fit in the trunk? No I’m not 50 lol, but I despise folding the seats in the Fiesta every time I go out. I know my current bag fits the regular hatchback with the driver taken out.

I don't golf, but the hatch space seems unchanged from the regular hatchback so you should be good. I just fit 4 wheels and 4 unmounted tires in the back of mine (seats folded down of course).

I NEED THAT BUMPER COVER!!!! If anyone knows the part number it'd be greatly appreciated.

likely it’s the rubber guard / protection from the previous corolla hatchback. you can find it that way.

What do y'all set the AWD Mode to for Canyon runs and why?

50/50 would be your best bet.

We dont have canyons up here in PA near me, but usually put it in 30/70, cause its fun. 50/50 VERY serious.

They don't call it track mode for nothing!

we've only got urban canyons in Houston, it's a very straight grid type system with stoplights every 300ft. not much difference I can tell when I'm going through those canyons.

I feel ya on that, I live in metro Detroit and there are straight roads everywhere. I have to go to western Michigan to get any kind of curvy roads. I wished I lived closer to mountains (smokies would be great).

Drive modes question:

my understanding is that aside from eco mode, the drive modes just change the AWD split and not steering or throttle response. Can anyone confirm? A few reviewers mention throttle response or steering feeling a certain way in a certain mode,I’m thinking they’re mistaken?

How do you manually seek the FM radio? Only way I see is it seeking to next strongest signal, or having to manually type the radio frequency in.

Yes you can. You can also save presets favorites etc...

No, why would it. Imo that'd not make sense at all. The different power modes do though

Not fully understanding your answer. My question is, does the steering weight or throttle response feel different between sport/track/normal. Obviously the balance of the car and how it puts down power changes. But one reviewer said how the steering is light in normal mode, another mentioned throttle response in normal mode but never talked about it again.

Steering weight and throttle response changes between Sport/Normal/Eco but not between Sport (30:70)/Track (50:50)/Normal (60:40).
