I too am not a fan of the bumper portion.
Not sure why the ātan linesā matter. That could only happen if you ever remove the wrap; and since you cannot remove the paint, isnāt the equivalent of just leaving the wrap on?
A little late to this thread, it was an interesting read.
I struggle over Manual vs auto.
It will mostly be a summer car for me. But will take longer trips, not just a weekend toy.
I would like the feel of a manual, but been a very long time since I drove one regularly. I bought a new Chevy...
I donāt feel the tire tread difference should cause what you described.
I would asked if they checked the balance on all the tires.
I certainly would not want the red like that; especially that rear.
Based on what Iāve seen on a couple forum, that account is more of a social media account. They say they will look into issues for people, but all they do is call the dealer you give them and tell that dealer to call you. Maybe they put data into a database, but who knows.
I had a 2011 Ecoboost that I used as a daily driver for about 7 years. It was 301 HP. I live in the Rochester NY area, so should be similar snow amounts to most parts of MI. Back then I drove 30 minutes each way to work. I put Blizzaks on for winter, the car drove great. I did grow up driving...
FWIW - 19 is the default priority all retail orders get. Starting this year, dealers can actually assign down to a 3. However, the numbers only matter for orders within a dealership. If they make all orders 19, then they all have an equal chance of being picked up. If one dealer has an order at...
I saw that the other day as well. I was very surprised by that. Looked awful. Couldnāt tell if it was bad paint application or what. Kind of looks like the panel was pressed on while paint was still wet. So maybe a wrinkle in the mold, or when bumper is removed from the mold. Ick.
I would be disappointed too. Unfortunately, there are these bugs that donāt come up until a mass of people have them. Plus suppliers change things and arenāt always to original specs; or someone thinks the change wonāt matter.
I took a shot at the first year Maverick and glad mine wasnāt one of...
I am thin, width wise anyway š, and the recaros are too tight for my taste. If my plan was to mostly track the car, then maybe, but not for daily driver and trips.
Especially with no power.
But you should really sit in one yourself. A lot to spend on car without doing that.
I had a ā10 with Pony. Miss those wheels. Wish the ā24 had something like that. Havenāt seen the standard GT wheel in person yet, but doesnāt seem āgoodā in pics. I saw a Ecoboost with 20ā upgraded wheels, at Ford Carlisle, those looked ok.
Should need GAP insurance if your loan is more than the car is worth. Since you are putting down $6k, have to decide if it loses more than $6k when you drive it off the lot.
Thanks. I thought it looked like that shape, but I would have expected polished to look more like an aluminum color (thinking back to my 2010ās polished wheels). In the photo they look like they are slightly colored.
