Is there something I am missing here? I have a Canadian spec 401a without the Recaro seats and I've never noticed having integrated turn signals in my mirrors?? Is this something my car SHOULD have had or is it just US based cars that have it?

I go teal primary, secondary and ambient because it is almost bang on the dash backlighting colour my 92 Prelude had, which was my first stick shift car and the car I spent the most time driving as a teenager. Never forget where you came from.

I only got it because it came as part of the performance pack. If it was a standalone option I wouldn't have got it as in all reality it's more of an aesthetic thing to have a "handbrake lever" sitting next to my manual transmission gearshift, even though the lever is really just a glorified on...

Saying using paddle shifters is shifting "manually" is like saying you washed your clothes manually by pushing the button to start your washing machine. While I agree the paddle shifts do add back that all important versatility of being able to be in whatever gear you want whenever you want...

For those of you wondering how a properly equipped Mustang performs in the winter too, my Mustang has full paint protection, interior protection, undercoat and electronic rust prevention because I PLANNED on winter driving it. Dealer provides a 10 year exterior damage warranty including any rust...

I didn't spend 72K CAD on a car just to spend more money insuring and driving a second car and storing/winterizing this car in the winter. As far as I'm concerned letting a car sit half the year is probably one of the hardest things on a vehicle even if it is properly winterized and stored...

Because I run my Mustang year round in the far north of Canada where temperatures lower than -30°C are frequent and can get as cold as -55°C. This is lower than the temperature the manual states you should start using 0W30. Just makes more sense to run it all the time in my climate.

I first checked my oil hot at about 1000mi/1600km and it was right on the low dot. Added a quart then and hasn't moved since. Gonna get my first oil change at 3000mi/4800km. I know sooner probably would have been better but I want to make sure any oil consumption is fully stabilized before I go...

So good news is I went and got a haircut and the car sitting for long enough seems to have reset it. Bad news is basically every driver aid system has now been disabled. No traction control, electronic stability control, anti lock brakes, no blind spot or cross traffic alert, no drive modes...

Did anyone else have the Sync 10.1.0 Update completely break their interior lighting? The interior lights are gone, the menu for colour customization and ambient light level is gone, and all the icons on the screen that change colour to match are completely black, they function but I can only...

First off, octane boosters are often misleading. That particular one you have linked to claims to boost octane by 20 points (or 2 rating numbers) so you've went from 87 octane to 89 octane at best. Secondly octane boosters typically use older style chemicals such as manganese and other...

Maybe I'll start using 94 when I get a raise and if I start flooring it everywhere. But fact of the matter is I value the flexibility of being able to gas up at any gasoline equipped Co-op cardlock in farmsville. Makes the logistics of long distance travel much less of a headache trying to plan...

The problem is it's a convertible. Only sad old men and teenage girls like convertibles. Lol. Joking aside, convertibles ARE usually less desirable in general to the average buyer, especially in the winter months. If you look at the market right now how many convertible cars are out there for...

I got full PPF installed car wide. By my dealer for like $1300 CAD. Even the windshield has a layer on it. Cheaper than the ceramic coat was and it is hydrophobic. Helps the dirt and crud just melt off when I wash it which saves on car wash costs and it has saved me from a few rock chips...

I have to agree. I wouldn't say these cars are slow but they definitely are easy to get accustomed to. They are well insulated and planted which gives a sense of confidence and comfort even at high speeds. Even with the 3.73 gearing in mine the get up and go is definitely not as snappy as I was...

Unfortunately no luck. Popped the cab air filter out and it only got slightly louder. I let the car sit and idle long enough to heat soak the engine bay and interior so the heat got REALLY nice and hot and it did quiet down some but not completely. I'm thinking it's probably just wonky harmonics...

The last car I was driving before getting my Mustang was a 2004 Mazda 3 and it came with a leather wrapped book that held all of the original warranty information booklets and dealership info as well as a manual so thick it made the Bible look like an informational pamphlet. That being said if...

Yeah it doesn't seem to change even if you switch between defrost, vents, or floor. Moving the facing vents around does nothing too. It's most noticeable at speeds 4, 5 and 6, and doesn't happen if it's REALLY COLD. I'm gonna see if I can take a look at the cabin air filter after work today and...

So driving around in the winter I've noticed that my HVAC blower motor has quite the whistle under certain conditions. It is coming from the passenger side, and sounds almost like a kettle screaming it is quite noticeable. Only happens when the heat is set high enough that the blend door is...

Huh. I actually had to go to a parts breakdown to verify the brake booster is actually vacuum run. I thought all this time it was electric due to how quiet mine is. Makes not more than a low hum with no minor whooshing noises like you'd expect out of a vacuum booster let alone any loud noises...
