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.
I also think 10 gears is 2 or 3 too many, but it does work well. At least in mine it does. It never hunts for gears and keeps the revs at the right point whether your cruising or getting feral. Sport and track modes are very well done.
I do like paddle shifting too.
Watch Misha Charoudins Nurburgring vids with getrag Mustangs, he changes into 6th and they fall right off the power band. It may not be such an issue for normal street driving though.
I'm guessing your roads are more winding than straight, like ours?
The 10 speed may be a better bet.
It's a bit of a pisstake Ryan. Don't take it personally. Like all pisstakes, there is an element of truth there. We took an Ev Uber recently, and he was raving on about never having to do maintenance on it. Just what I wanted to hear from a cab driver.
We actually thought about an EV years ago...
