Sold the Mustang

[Mark_B]

Hi All,

So I bought an Ecoboost from a Ford Dealer last week, I drove it around for a few days and I wasn't getting on with it at all. Maybe it was the specific car I bought, but it had no guts. I'd put my foot down and it had no urgency at all and was struggling up hills. Maybe there was a issue with the turbo? And the manual shift was notchy and wouldn't go into gear easily. I can't imagine they're all like that. So I sold it back to the dealer. Bit sad to see it go but it didn't drive like a performance car.

And instead I've bought a V8 auto from same dealer. I'm pleased to say that it goes like stinky and I absolutely love it.

Here's a shot of it.

Yes, once you feel that V8 power, it's hard to settle for less. Nice!

Congratulations! Great looking car, although i might be biased having a similar black vert. I also traded in an ecoboost for the v8. My ecoboost was not bad, and the turbos made it quick and responsive, like a little sports car. I just longed for the 8 cylinder rumble.
Best of luck on the new ride….

I’m not sure I understand how one “gets it on” with their Mustang, but it is a new world full of many different choices I suppose. Glad you had fun with it before you let it go. Enjoy it. The new one is sweet.

I'm sure I will. It's a 2016 with only 15k on the clock. So it hasn't had much of a life.

Is a very common term, replace it with hammered .. understand?

That sounds horrible!

The 2016 is my favorite year for the GT. Love the hood turn signals and the pony on the inside of the hood. Er, you might call it boot, I understand.

Feel or HEAR that rumble….

Yes, once you feel that V8 power, it's hard to settle for less. Nice!

Evidently it wasn’t very good either because you dumped it.

I can certainly understand the desire for the sound. But my EB has proven to be quick enough to cause me trouble a time or two. If I had the extra HP the damn thing would probably be impounded by now...

OP, enjoy your car, it's not a convertible but I'm sure it's fun enough anyway.

Thanks. Looks like a convertible to me.

Mark, what color was your ecoboost? Mine was blue, loved the color… black looks so slick when it is clean and shiny… until 2 minutes later when it gets dirty lol

It was Magnetic metallic grey. A great colour. Yes black is hard work.
