2024 GT Quirks…so far

[Zig]

I beg to differ, there's a pull handle on the back of the seat for getting in the rear. Worst part is thinking "memory seats!" and finding out "yeah...not really."

Just shy of reach by little ones wondering, what’s that thing do.

Ahem, allow me:
1- Manual recline handle on power seats?
2- "Custom" settings revert to "Normal" on startup...isn't this "My Mustang?"
3-The obnoxious carbon traps...
4-If you turn off the engine and just sit in the car for a noon time nap, some evil spirit starts rattling around under the hood to wake you up after about 10 minutes.
5-No spare tire, just a can of fix-a-flat. Why? Cause eff you, that's why.
6-I paid for the gas guzzler tax, so why did I get such a tiny gas tank?
7-The rear deck speakers on the fancy B&O sysm are severely underpowered, like non-existent.
8-Shooting up an on ramp and rocketing past the lumbering big rigs, triple digits on the speedo...ok ok I forgive you.

#1 I'd guess weight savings and production costs of having a power seat back. It's annoying for sure.

#2 is annoying AF. I have read that Ford does this for legal reasons. They can not have cars starting up without TC and the nannys activated.

#5 Yeah, have to get he 401a to get a spare.

Just to clarify as long as you don't get the PP. I have 401a and PP and didn't get a spare.

It has to do with the brembos. If you have the brembo package, either with the PP or not, it requires a deeper wheel to accommodate the larger brake calipers. The standard spare won't clear them, so instead of just including a spare with a deeper wheel, Ford just gives us the finger and provides a can of fix-a-flat.

I THINK that was done for rear seat access, that said they put the release in the stupidest f***ing place possible.

The ironic thing is the 3 door Fiesta had a better system - they just needed to raid their OWN parts bin!

My bad.. lol

The last time I used a spare tire was 1969. Now that I've posted that, I'll probably need one tonight!

Honestly though the manual recline is so much faster than Electric. Already the seat forward / back on auto is slower.
