First thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers.
Which reminds me.
A bunch of lawyers were on a charter fishing trip. One hooks a big bluefin and gets it to the boat. Another one grabs the gaff and hooks the fish, there's blood everywhere and sharks are closing in. The Tuna lunges and drags the...
I think the VAG system is hard to beat.
You have normal PRND, once in D you can pull back on the shifter to get trans auto sport mode, and move it sideways to get manual shifting by paddles or lever.
Recalls are a fact of life now. I'd rather have that than the old days of discovering production F ups yourself.
I've had 3 in recent years, one in a "bullet proof" Toyota, 2 in "high quality" VAG products.
If the water ingress recall is the only one I get with the Ford, I'll be very happy.
Gotcha. I normally mount detectors as high as poss. But under the mirror is the only practical place on the "Stang. It's usually easy to tuck power cords under the A pillar trim and edge of the headlining without disassembling stuff.
I'm lucky with the Ford dealership. Sales are useless, not even a "how are you enjoying the car" in the first year.
But service has been excellent. Car's ready when promised, work done well, reasonable cost and nice people.
The car I was going to order, a Cupra Formentor VZ, is now $NZ110 specced how I want it, similar to Mustang GTPP spec. That's up from the $NZ80k I paid 4 years ago for my Cupra Ateca (same spec).
A Formentor VZ5, basically an Audi RS3 in a different dress, will be around $NZ130K.
That's how much...
No mods here yet. I'll probably do shocks and a stop the hop kit in time.
I have fitted seat belt extenders, which work great. I also have front parking sensors, which would be great if they were installed properly, and I've fitted a front cam.
And this is the first car I've done a mirror tap...
I prefer traditional washing, but I have used the waterless "wash" supplied by the Ceramic coating company that did our cars, and it does work well in getting dust and insect splat off.
I'm pretty careful and haven't seen any swirls yet.
