It has been a long time since I had my mazdaspeed3 so I guess we will say this is being added to my garage. My mazdaspeed3 had fbo, big turbo, and fuel. Just over 400 whp at elevation.
It will be interesting to see how the mustang does in comparison at elevation since it will lose a lot more...
I was looking to order an S550 for years now. If I had one, I do not know if there would be enough to get me to jump from an S550 to the S650 unless you absolutely love the tech and interior. Especially for the money.
I hate the wheel and tire fitment... rub city right there lol.
I do not mind the wider bar under the grille. Everything else, especially the headlights, look horrible. Even the s550 had headlights that follow the wheel well line upwards on the bottom.
No it did not... The MKVIII golf is pretty terrible. Like the capacitive touch steering wheel buttons and everything hidden in separate menus is really bad.
At least Ford seems to have put HVAC controls always on at the bottom of the screen.
I posted on one of these threads about my...
It is really funny reading through people's opinions and how different they are likely due to their experiences.
The best manual I have ever owned is my 2012 Xterra. The 2010 Mazdaspeed 3 was not great. Held power well but would fight you going into second if you tried to shift faster than a...
Window tint. Then PPF and cosmetic mods like matching the black plastics and some interior CF vinyl wrap.
For once in my life, I will keep the vehicle mechanically stock. I think it is time to retire my "I void warranties" shirt.
I think the front end is the one area where they killed it. It looks amazing all around. That and the interior. Did you know Unreal Engine developed the user interface? So awesome.
I think even the two screens are going to be a lot to get used to. I have only have a basic android auto head unit in any of my vehicles and basic gauges in project cars.
Drove my friends 2021 Ram Limited (the fully loaded model with giant tablet) a week ago during a road trip and after a few...
Pretty much sold on this color as well.
I also am not a huge fan of the rear end. I think the front and sides look amazing. I am fine with the interior given the functionality of the screens. I do really wish there were actual buttons for the HVAC but having permanent controls at the bottom of...
I wonder how hard the auto stop/start will be to deactivate/defeat on this car. My parents Edge ST was defeated using an OBD2 dongle that when plugged in changes something to permanently defeat this system. Then you unplug and put it away until you want to turn the system back on... plug back in...
That is awesome that things worked out for you to try something new and make money on it. I, too, hope the interior continues to grow on me. I really like everything other than how the screens protrude from the dash. Could use physical HVAC controls but the always on controls at the bottom of...
Where would it rank compared to the mustangs? I personally though the MT-82 was a dream compared the setup in my Mazdaspeed (horrible 1st to 2nd lockout). The MT in the BMW supra is apparently not great to reviewers. I just do not have a lot of experience with non FWD manuals.
I have not had a fun car in so long and am going to finally pull the trigger on a new mustang... I really hope I will not have to wait that far into 2023. Been nearly 5 years since I sold my last fun car.
Also waiting impatiently for order banks to open.
I think you are on to something. I do not have an S550 and I am very excited about this car. Touch screen seems to be very good. Super quick to respond to touch and HVAC controls are always on the bottom of the screen.
I am really excited for this car. Not so thrilled with the giant screens that aren't integrated with the dash and the lack of physical HVAC controls but the rest of the interior is so much nicer.
