2021 vs. 2019. First impressions, subtle changes

[MaskedRacerX]

Ok, we cruised about 150 miles today, and I think MagneRide is goodness.

Keep in mind not only are you getting better on-the-fly compliance due to Magride, but you're also in a Perf Package car with better electronic tuning, upgraded shocks/springs/swaybars, so you've got a better ride __and__ a car that has much better performance related handling vs. your 2019.

Yeah, the lack of a hard button for the heated wheel is sort of a drag, if space was an issue, the could've made the driver's side [hard button] seat heater control like a up and down toggle (up wheel, down seats).

Also, if anyone considers non-performance/handling-related accessories, I cannot recommend this cargo space organizer enough. I was skeptical at first but was willing to give it a try. (When buying a 60K car, it's easy to justify $80 extra.) This thing fits nicely in the Mustang trunk, leaves a lot of space behind it, and holds groceries or just random junk perfectly.

I agree having a storage place for Random stuff is nice
I made a cubby myself

The voices in your head ... ?

so, if anyone's still interested, it was the dash cam! The freaking dash cam does beeps every time we hit a bump because it thinks we hit a deer or something, and it's probably a good time to start recording. (I appreciate this feature, and this is the whole point of having a dash cam, but I would be happier if it did not beep. Gonna read the manual now.)

You know, I used to be a service manager at a Toyota Dealership in the 90's customer's like you is why I quit. Glove box light really?

Why not? Is it really too much to ask to have a 25 cent convenience feature in a 50K dollar car? Especially when we're talking about a feature that even Korean cheapos have had for decades, and which even this very car used to have until yesterday?
If that bothers you so much, then maybe it's a good thing you quit. This arrogant, condescending attitude is what makes so many people hate dealerships and avoid them like the plague.

If it starts recording after you hit it, that doesn't sound too useful to me.

What especially annoys me is that Ford is double dipping. Not only are they decontenting the car year after year, but they're also raising the price on the base vehicle and the packages, year after year. It's nonsense. Like, pick one or the other. Yes, in the grand scheme of things the things they remove aren't huge deals by themselves, but they add up over time, AND you pay more for the privilege.

It probably is recording all the time but saves the video (so it doesn't get erased) when it detects "incident" - it's how basically every dash cam works...

 

[Vlad Soare]

I see. That makes sense.

Yeah like the Mach 1 not having Adaptive Cruise Control, WTF! How was that even acceptable?

Yeah, but if you have the B&O stereo won't it block the sub?

Bass is omnidirectional. I don’t think it would affect it. Other than maybe rattling the bag

Another difference is the blind spot monitor for 2020 on the mirrors only an orange dim light would turn on when a car was at your blind spot for 2021 it the full and half car image lights up

It's like Ford is in the business of making money on their cars. Unbelievable.

well the hellcat and redeye do not have adaptive cruise control or even cruise control and they are 80k plus cars. That should make you feel better

I am not sure if you can read sarcasm, but if you can't - that's what it was. I posted in another thread about what every company does after releasing the car - cost reduces it.
