How many are regretting

[Stratman397]

As

Colors are pretty restricted on the Dark Horse. In my case, I got to pick from one shade of red and it's pretty loud. The interior brings back the old Ford saying. You can have the model T in any color you want as long as it's Black. I probably would have wanted different colors but I can live with the ones I have though black may be a bit warm in the Arizona summer heat. By the time my car was delivered we were over the worst part of the summer so I will have to wait till next summer to judge that.

long as your air works good

I'm happy with the car overall. As far as the lighting goes cup holder rings would be nice as well as a glove box light and better lighting in the trunk as well. I rarely use the glove box or trunk though. I was kind of surprised by how many groceries I could fit in there one day when I didn't feel like driving the daily driver so the trunk is more usable than I was expecting. My only complaint so far is the lag in the screens sometimes. I have never reset it if that would help. It's usually pretty snappy. I would also say the car would be better to own in certain areas. I live in Saint Louis and while there are plenty of good roads to cruise on, I haven't found many good roads for spirited driving without driving at least 20 or 30 minutes just to get them. I'm in a quiet and safe neighborhood and have a food truck garden and some of the best pizza imaginable 3 minutes from my house so I can't complain too much.

I do agree 100% With the trunk size too, It does have a real nice size truck for as small as the car is, Even with the top down, it’s got quite a bit

My car was only scheduled at the end of January. I don't regret it but I have concerns/worries now with all the quality problems. All the manufacturers are like this now, though. I bought an older Corvette as a temporary car because its going to take even longer than I thought. I really like the Corvette and I don't want to sell it and get the Mustang GT only for it to be problematic. Only have space for 1 car, though.

My GT is at the dealer right now for what appears to be a leaking cv boot on the left rear. Yellow grease is all over inside the wheel barrel. I’m not too upset though, and don’t regret my purchase. It should be fixed under warranty and it looks like the s550s had the same issue from the factory. It just takes a while to discover.

From what I understand most of the chassis is from the S550, hopefully it’s an isolated incident with yours.

Sounds like the clamp holding the outer half shaft has a tear in it. Should be an easy fix.

Yeah no regrets here after 600 miles.

I mean

I said from the get go, probably was a bad decision. My husband had bought a new model of pilot. I had a 2015 and my hubby got the 2016 new model, nothing but problems with it. They say it is never good to get a new model car! So many people are having problems and they made a fun car to drive very cheaply. There are places that should have lights that don’t and I don’t feel it is, the “car” that Ford made it sound out to be. Next year I am sure it will be built much better as they will have the bugs out of it

I mean, have you have severe issues with yours? If it's just something where you're seeing issues on the forums, don't worry my friend. Forums are literally a beacon for people complaining, you're far more likely to hear about issues here than in the real world. Doesn't matter what the brand is, if you go on Toyota forums, there are already dozens of stories of people who've had to replace the engines in their brand new Tundras. That doesn't mean it's happening to everyone, or even the majority of people.

My maverick hybrid was essentially a first model year, even the first model year mavericks are some of the most reliable trucks on sale. The only issue I've had is some rattling in the dash, which can apparently be rectified with some well placed insulation. One of the reasons why the maverick was so reliable from day one, is because it uses components that have been around for years, over a decade in the case of the 2.5 hybrid and 2.0 ecoboost. So it's a new car, but the parts aren't new.

It's the same thing with the s650. Basically everything is just a tweaked version of what the s550 has. So you're quite unlikely to see major issues with the s650. The Honda you're referring to had quite a few transmission issues, a common theme for Hondas, but that's because it was a brand new transmission design at the time if memory serves correct. You don't have to worry about that with the mustang.

I'm still on the fence. To be honest, I'm not sure what to think. Maybe my expectations were too high with all the hype. I find all the electronic gadgets a little overwhelming, but I'm sure the younger folks like them. I've had my car for 4 weeks and it's already been at the dealer for a week to replace the Gateway Module with only 387 miles on the odometer. In the back of my mind I keep comparing it to my '19 Corvette Z06. I know it's not a fair comparison, but my Mustang doesn't hold a candle to it. Took my wife for a ride a couple of weeks and she promptly told me it's slow compared to my Corvette. Ouch! (She's not even a car person.) I'm hoping my feelings change after I put a few more miles on it.

What????

There is no size difference in the trunk when top is up or down. Or is this S650 different than S550?

I know the Camaro has a size difference in the trunk when the top is down, but not this car????

Sleep deprivation you crazy thing! I meant there is not a big difference in the trunk with the top down

You can store your vet here until you see what you think, we have 2 1 w car garage and an outside building that we have our jeep and boat on one side and truck on the other. Have room for a couple more cars in there. We can actually get 3 jeep wranglers down each side and still have room in the middle.

Is there any difference at all then?

Or learn from it!

As a further add- on, the overall quality is so much better than in the past. My 1st Mustang/Cougar was a 1967 Cougar. Within 4 years the body was rotted, and the 289 engine needed a rebuild. Back then I could pull that motor and rebuild it in my garage, todays motors not so easy. I had a 73 Olds, within 1 year the back fenders were rusted thru. Compare those experiences to a 4 year old 2020 Mustang. Get my point.
