I had a 2010 and a 2012 Ralliart, same transmission. Loved it, and it never gave me any issues. Maintenance scheduled called for changing the transmission oil at 60k miles. Only complaint I had was that it would act a little funky in the mornings before it warmed up, but my A10 does that too...
Well shit, where in FL are you? That looks like the same wheel/spoiler combo I was thinking about, but I'm not going to do that if we're both roaming around the same neighborhoods.
True, but loan rates are really low already, and most of the discounts don't get applied if you go 0%, so get your financing in place, and compare the difference between 2% and 10k in discounts or 0% and less in discounts if you're buying new. 0% isn't usually on used cars, nor their discounts...
Or have your financing in place from your bank/credit union before you show up. I find that to be a pretty effective tool, then once we figure out the price of the car, I let them try to beat the interest rate I've already secured from Navy Fed.
That's too much to pay on the first car. I was researching for a while because I wanted to trade in my wife's 2014 Vert V6. Found a used CPO 2018 A10 vert for a great price, and they offered me way too much for her trade in value. So, my wife got a 2018 Ecoboost Premium Vert (with the digital...
I'm a hard pass on race red or ingot silver. Black or orange they better be great deals and have everything else I could possible want. The rest I'm ok with.
If I climb into my baby before 9 AM, it's in normal/quiet because I'm not a dick to my neighbors. I think they appreciate it because one of them mentioned how quiet the car seems in the mornings versus later in the day. I said "you're welcome" then explained the active exhaust and quiet start...
Yeah, the Ecoboost sounds like it might be the better move for you. I used to like listening to my music pretty loud, but now I like listening to the exhaust. If you drove them both and the GT didn't grab you by the shoulders and shake the fuck out of you demanding that you pick it over the...
Do yourself a huge favor and call your insurance company. Have them provide you with an estimate on your instance cost for both cars so you can take that cost into consideration as well.
Regardless of what car you get, try to find one that is a CPO Ford so you get the extended warranty. It...
I'm guessing the tune played a big part as I didn't have a tune in my '15 and I feel like the '19 shifts faster. I do miss the downshifting in the '15 though. I feel like it was more effective in slowing the car down because the gears were more spread out.
The lighter you are on the pedal, the more jerky those shifts will feel as you move up the different drive modes, at least in my experience both in my GT and my wife's Ecoboost (both with the A10). If you're tooling around down but want to keep it in S or S+, use the paddles.
So, there's probably a few things going on here.
First, in comparison to the GT500, I would absolutely expect the GT to feel like it shits slower in comparison to the dual clutch transmission on the GT500, which would probably feel like, or add to the feeling of a delay or lag.
Second, in...
The transmission in the GT 500 is a dual clutch transmission, it's going to be lightning fast by design, you can't compare that to the A10 in terms of shift speed.
For what it's worth though, once the transmission warms up, I think it shifts faster (using the paddles warm vs cold). Also, it...
This made me laugh. My wife always has change up there in her '18 Ecoboost vert. Buy yourself a tube of M&M mini's. Eat the candy and leave the tube in the center console for your quarters.
