So i was watching this review of the Bullitt by savagegeese yall should subscribe to his channel.
He went into a review on the s550s in general and to be honest it got me questioning if we as owners and car buyers are just too demanding?
So one of the things he kept bringing up was these cars arent "drivers" cars like a BMW or Porsche is and you dont "feel" as much and the suspension system is built of steal to a price point...
But to me as a owner I think these issues are the biggest selling points of the car... I LOVE that unlike a BMW I dont have to replace my entire suspension system once a year...
I love the fact that when I go over a train track i dont need to call AAA and order a new set of wheels... I love that these cars are overbuilt, easy to work on and cheaply made. That means I can fix it myself, with non special tools. And i can get parts at AutoZone in an emergency or have a plethora of options if i want quality stuff... Compare that to my buddy who had a E60 M5 who dropped 15k on a clutch job... I really love having ford problems vs BMW pproblems..
I agree with his gripes about fit and finish quality, but really to me that stuff is nitpicky... Price cutting has to happen... There are no free lunches... If the price I have to pay, is a bumper gap, less "feel", but i still get a great interior, functionality, performance, great looks, reliability, ease of repairs bro I'll, take that deal all day....
What are ur thoughts.
