I thought financing/purchasing was how someone gets "stuck" with a vehicle, whereas leasing let's them get in and out. In any case, in my situation there's only two cars currently out (Mustang GT and RC350 AWD) that I could see myself owning for many years to come, whereas the others I've test...

I arrived too late to the party where I test drove a Scat Pack Charger after they stopped making them. I really liked it for what it is and for a while considered getting one. But after my emotions cooled off I realized getting a vehicle that's more likely to get stolen than others wasn't worth...

Recently someone close to me recommended that I lease vehicles instead of financing them, mainly due to my interest in multiple vehicles. They made a compelling case but at the moment I'm not wholly convinced to go that direction just yet. I'm most likely going to wait a year or two before I...

I really like the upper grille, badging and seat color of the California Special. I'm indifferent towards the side stripes. I wish the lower grille and air vents matched the design of the upper grille. All that said, I'd get one with an automatic and active exhaust if I could.

That's my plan now (enjoy the 'Boost for another year or two while saving save more money). As nice as the vehicles I test drove were, none of them are quite at the level of "gotta strike while the iron is hot!". The RC300/350 might get discontinued in 2025/2026, but I imagine the rest will be...

Wow, at that price it definitely looks well worth it to me! And that decklid spoiler combined with the vinyl delete for sure makes the Dark Horse look cleaner! Well done!

I think this is what I felt when test-driving the 2025 Hyundai Tucson Hybrid. Far from mind-blowing performance, but very nice driving dynamics for a compact crossover from my perspective.

A number of people brought up the Mercury Marauder. Now that I think about it, if Ford decides to green light a performance sedan, Falcon or Marauder would be the perfect name for it! (Mustang Marauder perhaps, if Ford has to insist on the "Mustang as a sub brand" ordeal? It sure sounds a lot...

My understanding of GT350s is that if you want to get one used, your best bet is to get a '19 or '20 model. These ones have the better built engines from what I recall. From a purely casual perspective, I'd say get one if you love the GT350's unique sound and your regular roads aren't too...

Ford Wants to Stop Making 'Boring' Cars (motor1.com) He specifically calls out the Fiesta, Focus, and Mondeo in this article. Not a good look if you ask me. Why not just make them exciting AND accessible to begin with? (Much as I like the '90s Escort RS Cosworth, I'd prefer to see a "modern"...

As the new title of the thread implies...well, no need to repeat myself. Barring a few exceptions (Audi A4/A5, Toyota GR Corolla, whatever Ford calls their potential 4-door "Mustang" if they actually produce and sell it to the general public), I think I've got an idea of what I'm looking for in...

I would also strongly consider a 4-door hybrid Coyote Mustang as my next daily! Sadly I can't see a reality where it would be priced around if not below a fully-loaded GT Premium.

A quick post for now, I just finished test driving a Bullitt. I didn't go very far but I definitely appreciated having the Auto Rev feature on. Maybe it's cheating out, but considering last time I test drove a Bullitt I couldn't even go from idle to motion without stalling, I think for even a...

Sounds like my conundrum. 301A Oxford White with Active Exhaust, or 400A Oxford White with Active Exhaust and California Special Package...oh, and automatic (again) or manual (finally learn it for life)?

Interesting. Do the new EcoBoosts have problems with drone? (I think I read about that either in these forums or one of the magazine websites...) Oh, and how were the Camrys?

I 🥰 the EcoBoost, as frequently as I joke about it.

The fastback has better visibility than the convertible with the top up. That's the only difference I could find during my test drives.

I test drove an F-150 STX the other day. It was different from what I thought it would be. For starters I enjoyed the simplicity of having manual controls, right down to turning the key to start the car. The Coyote engine is always a joy to listen to, even if here it's not nearly as audible as...

That's correct. Driving your creations in Beam.NG is the best part, I think. Not sure how accurate the driving physics are in Beam.NG though.

I've only done Sandbox mode and have never seen anything blow up besides engine failures. Can you blow up stuff in the Campaign?
