£722 with 0 no claims (it's not replacing anything) from Ford Insure is £400 better than anything on the price comparison sites, so I'll go with that. The Ford Insure website is pretty flaky, though!

So I took your advice Gregs24 (and my own advice) and sent out a message to every Ford Store dealer in the south of England asking if they knew of anything that might be available to sell that was 1) Convertible, 2) Manual, 3) Yellow Splash. Predictably, this led to an afternoon of phone calls...

Quick Q: what ball-pack insurance quotes are you getting on the S650? I just ran a comparison, and it seems to be twice as much to insure a S650 compared to an equivalent 2020 S550 (apprx. £1100 vs £550 p/a) Is this because there is no data on the car yet? Is this typical with any new model...

I cancelled because MY25 cars won't arrive before April and will cost £2750 more. I ordered Molten Magenta with Bronze pack, which would hopefully look good (no real pictures yet to decide), but it was down on my list of ideal colours compared to the MY24 options. I have been looking very...

Thanks, that's very helpful re. dealer pricing strategies. Yes, I placed an "order" (used in the loosest possible terms as they just select a car from a list that Ford have yet to publish, so it's little more than an intention to order right now) last Monday and cancelled it again on the...

Does anyone have the pricelist for the S650 when it fist launched in Feb/March time? Reason I ask is there are a few brand new dealer stock units appearing on Autotrader with several thousand off the list price without any negotiation and I want to understand if this is merely the price that the...

I visited my Ford dealer today for a test drive and he confirmed that - perhaps unsurprisingly - the MY25 UK allocations will be based on a selection of predetermined specifications, just as with MY24. From my test drive of a manual GT coupe, I found that: the digital dash wasn't especially...

A-ha! My dealer rang me yesterday to excitedly report that the order banks are open again, so this tallies. Will be popping over Monday for a test drive and most likely to place an order. "Intense Lime Yellow" seems to be a bit of a scoop. Nobody has mentioned that colour in any other markets...

I think they'd sell more Mustangs in the UK if they actually allowed people to order them. I tried to place an order 3.5 months ago for a '24 only to find the order banks were closed. Just got a call yesterday from my dealer saying...they're still closed. The Ford UK website is still listing...

Would double-declutching help? I know this isn't exactly in-line with a speedy zip through the 'box but thinking about mechanical sympathy...

In the UK at least, the late 1990's was peak Ford (IMO, of course), and this video kinda sums up what was great about Ford back then: cheap as chips, styled in a way that appealed to car people and non-car people alike, and drove better than most cars costing 2 or 3 times as much. The new Puma...

Odd. I assumed all the 'boring' cars would be the anonymous midsize crossover shapes that are filling our roads like non-playable 'traffic' from turn of the millennium open world-type driving games. Anyone who thinks a Fiesta is boring has never driven one and the Focus was one of the most...

It's like Ford don't want to sell cars anymore. I know they want (need) to sell more EV's, but if the market isn't there... If they up their rates again, you'd be far better off getting a personal loan and then Ford lose all interest payments. E.T.A. if Ford want to sell more EV's they need to...

If this was manual and yellow, then I'd have an empty bank account, grumpy wife, and a full garage, but they specced it in "safe" resale white, and it's still for sale. Go figure. https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202409123950509

Interestingly, a Dark Horse appeared on the official Ford stockist a couple of days ago, but was gone again a day later. Logic would state this was a cancelled order that was snapped up by someone on a dealer's waitlist, but I've been checking that list regularly and cars appear and disappear...

At a guess, it might be that people aren't seeing the one in Eastbourne. I have a AutoTrader search saved for all Mustangs listed as 'Brand New' but the one in Eastbourne doesn't show up there, instead showing as a 2024 used example. Perhaps it's pre-registered and it's a legal requirement to...

Oh wow. I know that modern Grabber Blue is metallic but - frankly - it always looks flat to me in the photos. But your close-up shots clearly show the lovely metallic flake in there. I can't see one in real life yet as these are so, so rare in the UK, but for those of you who can, does the car...

Just looking at this manual GT: https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202409023562422 Look at those ISOFIX holes in the rear seats! Do we think there should be some caps/covers fitted that the dealer has missed off or is that the finished appearance?

If you get one at all. The Dark Horse is a 2024-only model in Australia, so could potentially be the same in the UK.

Interesting. I think the beginning of November is the planned cutover from MY24 to MY25 builds. When did you order and what spec?
