2025 GT — 12,000 Mile Review

[Neggytive]

While all of you in the cold weather states are getting ready to park your cars for the winter, here in SW Florida we are getting our cars OUT for the season !

16 months of ownership, 43XX miles on it.

It always comes out on non rainy monday nights to go pick up pizza

Yeah, I live in Dixie and there is no "put the car up" time of year. I can't imagine that.....literally.

And I get like 18 mpg . . .

Yea, me to! I'm actually at 17.3 now. Up from 17.1! Yippee! Glenn

18.6, 2000 miles. Mostly city.

It's surprising how many times I have to go for milk since I got my GT. Glenn

updated review on my 2025 GT Premium Convertible:

—Mileage 12,000
—Delivery 4-18-2025; six months of joy
—Driving style: Mostly backroad cruising on trips
—Longest trip: 2-1/2 weeks; 4,300 miles
—Issues: NONE
—Average MPG: 28-29; decrease when top is down
—Top Speed: Classified
—Overall impression: FUN FUN FUN
—Service: Routine maintenance by my dealer Phil Long Ford of Chapel Hills in Colorado Springs; they also did a top-notch job with the water intrusion recall (no water intrusion before or after; BCM no issue)

Must be nice. My Dark Horse is on its second transmission (I think it’s having issues again), second windshield (warranty covered, it was oddly slipping down and crushing the seal), Second AC compressor (seized and shredded the belt on the way home from work one day). It sucks because I do really enjoy the car but it leaves a bitter taste in my mouth to have a 18k mile car have so many large item problems.

28mpg?! I took a 400 mile trip the other day and averaged 60mph. I got 24mpg. Normally I am seeing 16mpg. Mostly city driving in SE Florida. So I-95 is basically the speed limit, not the name of the interstate.

Sorry to hear your having issues. . Hoping it will not continue.

YOU RULE. MINE IS A 2024, ALL OPTIONS, CONVERTABLE. I HAVE 2000 MILES, GARAGE KEPT, NEVER SEEN RAIN, HAND WASH ONLY. CLEAR UNDERCOAT, INCLUDING INSIDE FRAME. IMMEDIATE OIL CHANGE TO FULL SYTHETIC AT 1000 MILES. STORED IN HEATED BUILDING NOVEMBER THROUGH MARCH.
I NEED ANOTHER ONE TO DRIVE DAILY! ( I HAVE A 2024 ESCAPE AWD, AS AN EVERY DAY CAR).

I thought I was fanatical about my cars. But I bow to your masters level OCD.

We also have a mild climate. But we do see a lot of showery weather so the second car gets a lot of use around town in winter and spring

Thanks for the review. I am even more excited about my convertible now. Production week got moved up the 1st of December. Can't wait to join you on road.

You will love it. And they are very quiet when the top is up — except for the beautiful music of the engine!!

Sounds good! Wow 12 thousand miles in 6 months, I thought i put alot on in 3 months at 3,500 or so...

I will have had my DH for 2 years at the beginning of January and I only have 5300 kilometer on it.

OK, be honest, how many times have you gone to get milk and forgotten to get the milk?

That's the wildest tale of sorrow I've ever heard from a DH. I guess I lucked out.

One of my favorite things is driving a mustang in a nice rain, especially at night with all the gauges lit up. Can’t imagine keeping such a chastity belt on my pony but to each their own, mustangs were meant to be driven! Cant wait for my 26’ dark horse to arrive!
