Our highways are nothing like your highways, probably more like your country back roads. Not the best for fuel economy.
I am a bit ashamed to be honest.
I turned rain sensing off. Same problem, a few drops of rain and they go to full speed. A great way to boost Fords wiper sales.
Someone here sid it was due to the speed sensing part of the system.
This was the last leg of our trip to see Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds.
I never thought I was buying an economy car.
That's about 27 mpg US, on our roads, on a busy holiday weekend, it's hard to believe.
It's not just the EU that's foisted this witchery on us. But at least Ford made it easy to switch off.
A double click of the mode button to custom mode and ASS goes off in the mode I set up.
Double click the lane assist and that's off. Much easier than the PIA system in our Skoda.
The other...
Same here. Always had smaller nippy cars, and bikes for real thrills. FWD is always a challenge to get as good as RWD. My SEAT Leon Cupra had very good steering, but not a patch on the GT86 we had before it.
But I was smitten with the Mustang, it's fun even when you aren't caning it.
The thing that surprised me when I first drove an S650 was the turn in, grip and general handiness of what is a biggish car down here on our narrow back roads. Much, much better than I had expected.
I'm certainly not trying to convince you to go auto, but Npole on here described how he does...
I'd be surprised if it hydrolocked from rain getting on the filters. Usually it's some numpty thinking their car can ford metre deep water and swallowing the bow wave.
