2016 Mustang photos

People mainly complain about the interface since it looks plain. So that is their main argument, but seeing it can be updated via wifi, I am sure customization and updates will change that. It honestly doesn't bother me in terms of looks, I would rather have a more responsive system. I feel the same way about any computer I use; I don't care what the wallpaper is. But, some people that is important and if they enjoy MFT, then that is great.

You people.. An entire thread of people complaining about turn signals in the heat extractors. Honestly if you don't like them get rid of them such is the life. Talk about some damn first world problems.

Yet here you are! Feel free to move on...there's plenty of other threads. This one interests me. I don't go to this fourm to discuss politics or solve the worlds problems. I go to discuss the Six Generation Mustang.

I saw a 2016 Ecoboost Premium on manufacturers plates near Dearborn.... Like the grille more than I thought I would. Might even upgrade...

Don't underestimate the importance of Sync 3...

what importance? it does the same exact thing but made by rim (eww). I got no issues with MFT. To this date it hasn't failed me on voice recognition yet. I also didn't buy a 430 hp car for it's wanna be tablet interface that does same thing.

and 0% interest currently for non owners >sync3 and not getting 0%

1. "it does the same exact thing but made by rim (eww)" Don't get hung up on the ownership of QNX by BlackBerry. That's probably the only thing they've done right in years. The Sync 3 system has better voice recognition, and better hardware. It has more RAM and a faster processor, which makes it faster. It has a multi-point capacitive touchscreen instead of MFT's single-point resistive touchscreen. This makes it way more responsive and capable of things like swiping and pinch-to-zoom. QNX also allows iPhone and Android users the ability to use CarPlay and Android Auto, respectively. This allows for a much better of interaction and customization.

2. "I got no issues with MFT. To this date it hasn't failed me on voice recognition yet" I've never had a problem with MFT's voice recognition either. However many have. YMMV, as the saying goes.

3. "I also didn't buy a 430 hp car for it's wanna be tablet interface that does same thing." Good for you. The rest of us are quite happy that Ford doesn't rely solely on your input alone. I commute. I sit in traffic. Creature comforts like that are important to me.

4. "and 0% interest currently for non owners >sync3 and not getting 0%" I know this must be a shock to your world, but not everyone qualifies for that.

Agreed - I just picked up my 2016 GT yesterday, and the speed and accuracy of the Sync 3 system absolutely blows the MFT system out of the water. There really isn't any comparison.

What options did u get ? Pics would be appreciated.

 

[5.0 435]

so the hood vents opening is half the size on the 2016 compared to the 2015?

Yes why would you do that ?

 

[prash]

Yes why would you do that ?

The Euro spec Mustangs dont even have the hood vents. that should say the GTs dont really need vents. does the size matter then ?

then they got more problems than buying a car anyways. it's not hard to qualify for 0%.... so logic is to buy a 2016 that cost more and has higher interest rate? yeah that seems logical to do if you can't qualify for 0%...the real logical thing to do would be not to buy a car where you get raped on interest...because if you can't qualify for 0%, chances are 2.5-4% is out of range too as credit and income requires are hardly different. Hell you only need a 650 credit score now to buy a house at 3% down.

Alright, enough with the financial advice.

Let's get back to the photos! Here are some 2016s w/ Sync 3.

The auto updates are easy to receive as long as you're on WiFi. No more of this stick based updating from the old days. I remember back when I bought a first generation navigation and Sync system, only the dealer could update it. How times change!

PS - has the Shaker logo always been white? Is this new?

Nice photos. Yes, the white lettering is new, every 2015 I've seen isn't painted in, just stamped.

Can you confirm if the SD card slot is still in the armrest?

Sync 3 value is subjective. If you aren't getting Nav then the only real huge difference is Carplay/Android Auto; otherwise the functions it does are identical basically. Sure it's a bit more fluid but 1/2 a second extra wont ruin your life either.

There are plenty of 3rd party plug and play options for Carplay/Auto on MFT with devices like Lockpick for $300-400.

If you can get a 2015 with discounts and a 0%/low interest rate it'd be hard to argue Sync 3 against possibly $2-3k savings on the car itself for a comparable 2015.

Would like to confirm this too. From what I have read, it looks like it is no longer. :(

It,also,comes down to this: if what you want is not on the lot, you order. 2016 by default. I preferred to not settle for second best. If I'm spending over 25k on a car, I'm damn well getting it the way I want it. If I wanted to settle, I'd have bought a corolla and started suicide counseling.
