The Pirelli PZ4's are very different to the older Pirellis - much improved.

400 miles is a long way, I picked a nail up on the way back from a dealer once with a brand new car - 9 miles!

Mine had the rear glass 'scratches' on the inside and more developed with time - they wiped off however so they were not scratches just static film deposits. Front fender - yes I have the minor alignment issue where it joins the wing but very minor. It is a mass produced car manufactured at...

I'm not sure that is quite correct as there have been different minor versions of the 10R80. If nothing else the stop start versions have an additional electric pump fitted so even 10R80's used by Ford will be 'different'.

I think I would be looking to get a replacement car

There are 3 ways of doing this actually. The cheapest (but few dealers seem to even know about it) is to extend before the car is registered, this is what I did and in fact in my case the dealer paid for it as part of the negotiations. You can secondly extend during the existing warranty period...

10R80 is as tough as old boots - nothing to worry about

Yes 3 plus extendable at cost in the UK too This thread is a year old

You could but the price difference between a SVC speaker and DVC speaker is nothing so you may as well just use a DVC

The OEM sub is DVC so it is a straight swap

New M2 and M4 are pretty fat now too, very similar to the Mustang in fact

BYD has just overtaken Ford for global sales!

I am well over 3000 without any problems

100% My S550 at 6 years old was fine on its original battery. Very rarely went into deep sleep unless left for over a week or so. My S650 has been the same over the first 16 months.

I think you need to go lower than those two. Dacia make the cheapest cars together with low end Hyundai / Kia. Fairly stripped out but sell well. Sales are not everything of course - no point selling a cheap car and making no profit or even making a loss.

Agree 100% - every car I have had with S/S the battery has lasted much longer because it is bigger. It has been around for 30 years so there is plenty of evidence for this. It is all going to be irrelevant anyway going forward. The old S/S systems fitted to the Mustang has been replaced by mHEV...

If you don't drive your Mustang in the rain in the UK you will never drive it! My S550 was a daily for 6 years, rain, snow, salt, sun, dust - and it still looked good and drove just fine after all of it. It's a car - drive it!

I'm not sure Japanese cars were 'cheap' at least not here in the UK. What they were was reliable and very well engineered. They did rust badly but obviously so did UK made cars at the time. Korean cars were 'cheap' here (and nasty) when they first started to be sold but very quickly that...

Mine very rarely goes off This is a 3 year old thread so long repaired I expect

Maybe - maybe not. Neither of us have a crystal ball. What I would say is China exported 8.8 million cars in 2025, up 30% on 2024, whether they need to expand or not, they are doing very quickly. I realise this is not to the US (yet) but just consider the scale of that, double the Ford...
