UAW contracts specifically prohibit the emotion, nay the very concept of shame.
I'm on my 3rd S550 since April 2019. Nothing but good times and exhilarating driving experiences, and a comfy and cushy interior experience. Fun stick shifts, quick shifting autos, sturdy hard tops, airy verts, nice and supportive air conditioned and heated seats, recaros, on and on. These cars are an exceptional value for their performance, features, and ride quality. I've owned various cars. These new Mustangs don't even rattle.
No, it isn't. There's no excuse for poor work ethic in a competitive environment by a union worker in an American company who is building a proclaimed "icon" and is paid good wages and being treated fairly.
Shogun, I think you're a smart guy, and I enjoy and appreciate you here in this forum. You're off your rocker here on this one. Cloth seats? Gtfowtbs. Maybe if you live in Siberia... and you want a seat that never gets cold. Budget constraints aside.... if you can afford the 401a, it's a must have for multiple reasons. Like you said, $2000 is short distance for all those goodies.
If you have no panel or paint issues, here's some advice. Let your great dealer fix your car. Your issues are minor. I had the dash apart on my 2016 for the evaporator A/C issue and it went back perfectly.
I can see his perspective if he drives manual like I do because there’s no auto start. By the time you’ve gotten into the car and it’s hot/cold, it would take a decent amount of time for the setting to even be of any real help. The cloth seats are actually more comfortable than the leather seats I had in 2019 400a with the 10r80 I traded in for this car.
ha ha. My F150 has (sport) cloth seats and heated. I can admit the heated is nifty and useful on occasion. I bought $240 "can't believe it's not leather" vinyl seats from CarID and they're good enough "leather" for my purposes. And since they are slip-on, can be removed trivially if I don't like them. Only put the one back on so far.
To get this kind of a car with the performance you want, with admirable build quality you have to look else where. Unfortunately there isn't a US made automobile that scratches that itch. It's why I left for 20 years to BMW and Porsche. Just got tired of spending almost $100k for a car all the time.
Are you saying that built quality ( the line workers doing their job correctly) is not possible because the line workers are not paid enough or because the line move too fast and they will need more time to do the job correctly or because????
