Damn this disheartening. This is my main concern about going from a "luxury" sports car to a mustang. (no offense meant). Ill make sure to look at the quality of the showroom 16 they have as I go to put my order in tomorrow. My M has been solid inside and out no dealer trips in 2 years.No - it's a tossup at best. The car irritates me every time I look at it and excites me every time I drive it.
On the first one, I had no reason to expect that more than half the car would need to be repainted. Ford's quality control on the GT 350 is a problem. Every 2016 Mustang that's come into the dealer has had better paint and fit and finish than any of the GT 350s he's received. That's just odd. I really thought that over the course of the three months between the cars that the quality would have improved much more than it did - especially since Ford was involved in prioritizing the replacement.
My expectation is that the GT 350 should have at least equal-to-Kia-quality paint. This is not a $10K Kia Rio, and runs, drips, dirt, bare spots, scratches, burst paint bubbles, misaligned panels that rub on each other and window weather stripping that's twisted 180 degrees before a window was installed are totally unacceptable at any price point. You just don't see these things from other makes - a few problems, sure - but not all on one car.
Pardon me - I have to go make an open-exhaust run through the country now. :love:
