  1. Potential steering issue on a brand new vehicle

    Hey folks, I've noticed something recently that I wanted to ask about - I'm unsure if it's a known issue or if you have any tips/advice. For context, I took delivery of my MY24.5 Mustang GT convertible a couple of weeks ago. It's just clocked over 1,000KMs, so still very fresh. But I've...
  2. Let’s go topless! Post your top down convertible pics

    I absolutely love the yellow with black accents. Gorgeous machine.
  3. Let’s go topless! Post your top down convertible pics

    Here’s my new baby in the Yarra Valley. She has only just clocked over 1,000KMs.
  4. Stuff you want Ford to fix in the next software update

    I want the heartbeat to work again! It's been silent ever since I got the car, haha. 🤭 Things I want fixed: Cooled/heated seats randomly starting when I start the car (even though I didn't have them on when I turned the car off). Apple CarPlay randomly going silent (not losing connection -...
  5. How’s your gas mileage?

    I've done about 1,000KMs in my car and I've filled the tank four times. I rarely drive on freeways though; I mostly drive on windy backroads near home. Lots of starting/stopping/braking.
  6. Screens—A love-hate relationship

    I'd love to see this too. It's kind of weird to me that we can't put the navigation on the main instrument cluster.
  7. Question about start-up chime/jingle

    That makes sense conceptually, but it doesn't explain why I'm experiencing the huge inconsistency I've described.
  8. 2024 Mustang sales comment

    It has everything to do with Mustangs. The point is that the rate of inflation has been relatively high since the pandemic. Inflation affects everything - it would have significantly increased Ford's input costs at almost every level of the supply chain. Under such circumstances, it's no...
  9. Question about start-up chime/jingle

    I'll try that. But I'm sure that in the past (like when I test-drove the car, or when I rented one in Hawaii last year) the do-do-do-do chime would always play whenever I sat in the car (before starting the engine). So I'm really confused why it doesn't always play now. Unless Ford has done an...
  10. Tyre recommendations for S650 Mustang GT

    This is really insightful, thank you. What you’re saying makes 100% sense - I will really never push this car to its limits I think, I’m just not super interested in that. What I’m enjoying so far is the linearity of the torque curve. It feels highly consistent as you apply power all through the...
  11. Tyre recommendations for S650 Mustang GT

    True on all counts - this is new to me. My last car was a CLA 250 Sport, an AWD 4 cylinder turbo. Stuck to the road like glue. I am being very cautious with this car. I only apply power on straights, never when turning out of a corner (for example). I have huge respect for this car. And you’re...
  12. Screens—A love-hate relationship

    I must admit that I like the screens. Having the HVAC controls on there is a slight problem, but can't these things be adjusted with the Ford Assistant? (Which I haven't actually used yet myself - I just got the car a few days ago, so I'm still playing around). My only issue really is that the...
  13. Question about start-up chime/jingle

    Hi everyone, I've got a question that I haven't been able to find an answer to no matter what terms I search. Maybe I'm using the wrong language, but I'm hoping you can offer some insight. When you get into your Mustang, there's typically a little drumbeat-type sound...
  14. Tyre recommendations for S650 Mustang GT

    I checked the tyre pressure last night - 32 PSI. So all good there I think. The slipping I'm experiencing with the tyres is only happening in one place actually: on my (very steep) driveway, which is bricked (and is therefore quite smooth). When I back out of the garage...the car squeals as it...
  15. Tyre recommendations for S650 Mustang GT

    Thanks everyone, this info has been very helpful - I will follow your advice. I’ll check tyre pressure first and also give them a bit more wear in time before I upgrade. Really appreciate your help!
  16. Tyre recommendations for S650 Mustang GT

    Hey everyone, I just took delivery of my S650 Mustang GT convertible on Monday. I'm loving it already! But I feel like the default tyres could be a lot grippier - they're a bit too slippery. I am thinking about replacing these with much stickier tyres, and I'm wondering if you have any...
  17. Australia - 24C35 S650 Recall and Service Action Lookup

    The B&O system is really solid. Quite surprisingly good quality for a Ford - I think it's good value. But I know what you mean. I listened to a few songs, then switched it off entirely. That gorgeous burbling V8 really stirs the soul; there are no words to describe how lovely it is. I was...
  18. Australia - 24C35 S650 Recall and Service Action Lookup

    I’ve just got the one photo for now: I am OBSESSED. This thing is so lovely to drive. That engine, my god. 🤯

    Happy to say that I picked up my car this afternoon. Very pleased!
