Can’t say I had.

Had it on then removed it because I anticipate the dealership is gonna lose them when I bring in for oil changes which will be free for the next 5 years for me.

Honestly I think the AutoHold feature is for the 10 speed in mind, it makes sense to prevent autos from moving by itself during a stop and go jam. On a manual it messes u up when u add throttle to move from a standstill when paired with the hill assist and the auto blip when clutch out. I was...

The only good thing about the active exhaust ironically is the ability to silent mode. Normal mode is already annoying for me. As much as I love the sound of the coyote I don’t need it on all the time.

Yes it is. The first few drives reminded me of my first car a Mazda RX-8…. Yes I know I know it’s slow in a straight line but it was exactly the feeling I wanted a high rev engine. My Focus RS slightly modded was a low rpm immediate push to the seat but it ran out of breath after 5.5K rpm, I...

I got my Autotech Park shades from amazon, they have high tension springs and fit perfectly

My experience with that exhaust on my Subaru Sti is two years in exhaust started leaking via the slip joints and finally the weld where the curves are started leaking too.

There are back seats? Jokes aside I would have used it if it has a quick release to move the seats forward and back to where I set it after the passengers enter. Having to use the electric switch to move forward and backward takes too long. I wouldn’t risk having my child back trapped back...

You do not want to force too many clicks during fillup. I love Ford’s refuel mechanism, no switch no lock just drive up and pump but they are notorious (at least on the Focus) for failing purge valve, canister or solenoid with repeated fueling full clicks. I had to replace mine at 50k km. And...

The 2.3 ecoboost makes decent power with a good tune alone. While not a Mustang 2.3, I had mine tuned by Stratified tuning and it changed the smoothness and power delivery significantly.

It’s the same like the diagnostic mode on the Focus. The main thing to do in there would be adjusting the AFE bias so that it can accurately reflect your true calculated mpg or checking DTC.

Thanks. Good to know.

Mine being 500 miles at the moment I found to be decent build quality. It actually made me think I should have gotten the M2. Rattle coming from upper dash behind screen and the sensors area on the windshield. A small cut on the center console where the ebrake is and the most annoying would be...

They are disgusting but can always be swapped out so it’s just minor inconvenience. If I had to get the car spec’d out the way I want with these hideous wheels, I would rock it until the tires on them are bald.

The BMS is there to prolong your battery's life due to the start/stop system, it tells the alternator when to pump out the full voltage for charging and when to lower it for trickle accordingly when your battery is being depleted. Indirectly this also prolongs your alternator's life. The catch...
