FORD: One of the worst

[LouG]

A boat is a hole in the water you pour money into. Not sure about aircraft. A hole in the sky?

I absolutely HATE my Mustang because the floor mats (rubber genuine Ford) get dirty! Can't Ford make a car that doesn't have floor mats that don't get dirt on them!!!!????

I have the ford magic floor mats, that no matter how dirty you get them, when i wash the car they are clean again.

Aircraft bleeding money on the ground and in the air. Double trouble

Out for a cruise today and got behind this Prius with a “M” tag.

Fortunately I turned and he went straight.

you must be living right. I put my signal on and the prius in front of me does the same. Even if I put on the wrong blinker.

The hatred is mutual.

Ever ridden in one? They ride like a tank.

I have Honda Civic (2012 I bought new, still in new condition), that gets easily 40 mpg on the highway. It has some pep too. Good enough for me. It's the most stolen car in America. Mustangs are supposedly number two.

Man, NEVER get rid of that Civic. I got a 2014 (like you, I bought new and it's absolutely mint with less than 20k km's on it / 12.5k miles). The days of simple, easy to fix, no frills cars...I shudder every time I have to dodge some yahoo on the road who's driving like a moron.

EDIT: Not sure why the quote is wigging out lol.

No, my Civic will never be sold unless it just explodes or something like that. In 115,000 miles literally NOTHING has broken or gone bad on it. Nothing but book maintenance and PUP oil every 5K miles. It's definitely a keeper. Great around town and the interstates.

I feel your pain. I came from a 2020 Type R. In terms of fit and finish, no comparison. Honda knows how to make a quality product, down to the details. So many unintuitive things that Ford does make me scratch my head... right down to the ridges on the floor mats which run left to right, instead of front to back, designed to catch the heel of your clutch foot every shift . And don't get me started on the tack-welded ripples on the rear bumper. Or the LED door lock indicators that are ridiculously dim. Or the plastic interior that scratches if you blow on it. I have to say though that after 2 years you tend to overlook the idiosyncrasies, because every car has them, and I find myself quite enamoured with the car. The look, the sound, and the straight-ahead performance (handling is meh, she's a big girl and if you've driven a Type R you'll know what I mean)and the overall "presence" make it a keeper.

You lost me when you said Honda, sorry 2020 Type R, you didn't say Honda on purpose. I will give it to you, they do know how to make hard plastics that don't scuff and quiet engines. My Honda 2000i is super quiet and the plastics don't scuff at all. Those inverter gensets are great.

Joking aside, i actually agree, what is with the plastics scuffing so easily. None of my previous mustangs did this, but this 2024 man look at it wrong and it'll scuff.

I'm not a Honda fan, they seem to be like Apple and Sony, in that they do things their way even when it makes no sense. Like cam chain issues on 90's and early 20's bikes. Regulator problems that went on for years. They are quite well built though.
And my 1989 Prelude is the only new car I've had that had a serious mechanical problem while under warranty, the clutch developed judder.

Regarding ambient lighting, cluster colors, etc. - (as posted elsewhere) -
The memory buttons on the driver's door store those in addition to the seat position, at least they do on my 2024. When an update reset all that, just pressing "1" brought it all back.

I've owned many, many different makes of cars in my 77+ years and I've had issues with all of them at one time or another.

Corps-unit-when? Thanks.

The new ones are surprisingly good looking and surprisingly quick

I'm a week late to this, but heres a shining example of when you buy a car for all the wrong reasons.

You buy a mustang for the engine and experience.
