I wish drivers would be more attentive on the road. Stop using your damn cell phone when you're driving! Whatever you're doing on the phone, it can wait.
Yeah, like I said, it's a slow shifting transmission, even when you use the paddles. I've been ruined by DCT, and other good auto transmissions like the ZF8.
I'm not looking to start an AT vs. MT discussion. No one is wrong here, use what you like :)
Congrats. I may do the exact opposite as you in 3-4 years. I have the auto in my GT, and it's the one thing I hate about this car. Coming from other performance cars, this is a terrible automatic transmission. For everyday driving, it's just plain okay. When you want to have fun, or take the car...
I do miss the coding aspect from a BMW. You can without any ECU modifications remove the seatbelt reminder (Beltminder). Below is a video, and it's also in the manual (according to the video)

The Q50 is a hybrid, not all electric. It will NOT have 100% of the torque as soon as you floor it - that only applies to electric cars.
The Q50 Hybrid does also come in AWD, so that would make it easier to launch than a Mustang GT.
You absolutely have a reason to voice your concern. Like I said in my post, I'm not giving Ford a pass on the design of the ventilated seats. That shouldn't have got past through design/QC process. On the other hand, it is first world problem if I've ever heard of one :P
I had a F30 3 series with this gearbox, and it really is an amazing gearbox. It is hands down the best non-DCT automatic transmission. It shifts very quick, is very smooth, is in the gear you want to be in, and is very predictable. I also loved how it would downshift multiple gears if you...
That's a terrible analogy...I hope you didn't buy the premium package (I'm not talking about 201A/401A) for just cooled seats, because it's more than that. The cooled seats work, just not for the seat backs. I'm not giving the engineers a pass here - it definitely should be fixed. I've passed on...
Premium package was a must for me, although I don't have 401a. 401a would've been nice, as my previous car had BLIS, memory seats, but oh well. Base model is terrible - the small screen, no climate control, no leather seats, etc. There are so many small features the premium package adds like...
Heh, I saw that car on reddit. I love Tron, so I liked that Mustang.
Anyways, Mustang are less common here in western/upstate NY. We mostly have econoboxes, trucks, and SUV's here. I can understand why people wouldn't have nice cars here (at least a one car family). Winter here sucks, and they...
Wow, looks awesome on Ingot silver. Looks absolutely terrible on Guard though.
Not many changes, but that expected I guess. I'd love a Sync 3 and a black painted roof on my OW.
For the unlock, it's a setting you can change. I have mine set to unlock just the driver's door. From your steering wheel -> Settings -> Vehicle -> Locks -> Remote Unlock -> All Doors

I averaged 27 mpg on my 1500 mile trip, not bad. I was driving with a heavy foot, average speed 75-85 MPH when traffic allowed. I was also stopped for a while (border crossing/traffic/construction). I wish we had cylinder deactivation - that would increase the numbers by a bit.
I had a 335i...
