I too have been disappointed since coming from OHV motors in Chevies when I was younger to these OHC motors. Honestly, I think of these as over-sized Civic engines. My new high-performance car feels weaker driving around town than the old 5L V-8 in the hand-me-down '84 Caprice I drove in...

The 12-speaker B&O upgrade I'd say makes for an okay, OEM sound system. Ya the highs still sound like they're coming from cheap paper cones, which they probably are. Besides better tweeters the upgrade should've come with a "loudness" button. I had to crank down the bass cuz it's so boomy at...

That's what I don't get about the idea of automatic climate control in cars. In my home it's a good idea because it's not the temp of the air coming out of the registers that I really care about but the ambient temp. But in a car where you sit right in front of the vents, it's the opposite. I...

When insurance totalled my '01 manual GT (young gal pulled out in front of me, on my green, her red), I bought and owned for just months a car that wasn't right for me, including having an automatic. I sold it to CarMax for a slight loss (the bigger part of the overall loss was in taxes...

Walking behind your locked car and pressing the trunk release button (on the car) causes the tail lights to light up full blast for a couple of seconds. On a dark street it's temporarily kinda blinding. I could pull my fob out of my pocket and pop the trunk from a safe distance, but usually I...

Yep, it's not just how dark some wheels are, but how full-looking that makes a difference to me. For example while I definitely prefer silver over black, the 15-17 PP silver wheels looked too busy to me. I like darker better when there's less spokes and the car is darker.

I noticed that a couple of times as well. But the pony in the middle makes up for it. :sun: Much better than someone's mini billboard advertising to me every time I get in the car. I don't mind the gap behind the accelerator, that's probably for liability reasons (so nothing can snag). The...

p.s. I will miss how they keep my dog cool in the back seat.

In general, ya, I like them on a car with retro styling, like my previous ride: I thought that generation definitely needed for example the hood scoop, because it was a pretty blank slate, with not a lot going on in terms of lines. But I got my current one in a light color because this gen...

Actually that's why I bought a 2019 (GT, not Bullitt). Ford said it would "be standard on 91 percent of Ford vehicles in North America by 2020" (https://media.ford.com/content/fordmedia/fna/us/en/news/2018/03/15/ford-co-pilot360.html). So I figured the 2020 Mustang would include it, and I very...

I'll have to watch myself and see, maybe when I'm grabbing it out of reverse my hand is not letting the collar fall or something. Oh yeah and I wish the parking brake lever was on the other side of the console. This one's shorter so I haven't yet, but my 2008's stuck up so much I banged my...

Besides having to remember that reverse gear is now on the opposite corner of the gear pattern, I'm honestly not a fan of it letting me back into reverse right after I've come out of it. Cuz I'm trying to go into first at that point.

Only 53, but I have bad knees, so I'm thinking this might be my last vehicle of this kind, and I better get it while I still can get in and out of it. My folks earlier this year traded in their Fusion for an SUV because getting in and out of it was getting too hard for them. I had been...

Speaking of, I chuckled when I got something in the mail this week from Sirius. Having never had a car with it, I was excited to get it, cuz radio kinda sucks around here. But it sounds so bad I can't listen to it. Like horribly compressed MP3's from the bad ole Napster days. I'm not sure...

Speed-sensitive volume doesn't work at all. Ridiculous. I got adaptive gauge lighting, adaptive rearview mirror, adaptive headlights, some people have adaptive wipers, adaptive cruise control, but somehow Ford forgot how to make adaptive volume work.

Adding this for anyone doing searches for this in the future. I tried it on Medium today, with my phone off. Still doesn't do a damn thing. When I turned my phone back on in the car, that message on my phone (a Note 9) was only a dialog asking do you want to bypass the limiting of sound...

That caught my eye too, but then I looked at the 2019 order guide and it says the same thing. Still "MT82-D4".

I find it a little too boomy. By that I mean it gives you a lot of mid-to-high bass but no low bass. Like a boombox. I had to turn it down in the settings, and boost the mid and treble to try to get some brightness out of the sound. BTW, I grew up on high fidelity stereo equipment, so that's...

It's a few model years later now, does this work for anyone? Kinda disappointing having to monkey with the volume quite a bit while driving. Especially when you went with the upgraded sound system. I have a 2019 with Sync 3 and the B&O audio. Worked great on my 2008. Seems to do nothing at...

I picked up a set of these from my dealer the Saturday after my ordered car finally went In Transit. They look the same as the ones pictured on Ford's site when you build and price one out, but for $50 less. But I wasn't sure if selecting that option meant the carpeted ones would be omitted...
