  1. Questions for Ford UK

    In Canada, the tri-bars are not sufficient for DRL regulations, so the fog lights are the DRLs. The tri-bars are still lit all the time, though. I'd imagine this will be the same in Europe.
  2. Something I just noticed on Mustangs and no other Ford vehicles

    They did mortgage their logo (or something to that effect), but the Mustang is the only car I can think of that didn't have multiple logos on it during the past several years. My mom's Focus and my sister's Fiesta both have the Ford emblem on the front and back.
  3. Something I just noticed on Mustangs and no other Ford vehicles

    My 14's got Ford spelled out on the faux gas cap, so assuming it was there on 10-13 as well.
  4. The hidden ponies

    There have been significant oxidation problems with the S197 hoods. Hopefully Ford's got it figured out for the 2015 (not to mention the F150...).
  5. UK/EU DRLs, are they different?

    They might be just like in Canada. The gill slight lights are on all the time, but the fog lights are the true DRLs. That's why fogs are standard in Canada.
  6. Anyone upgraded their outside mirrors yet?

    I made the mirror swap on my 2014 V6 and everything (puddle lights and heat) works perfectly. I wouldn't be surprised if the mirror swap could be made with the 2015s as well.
  7. 8 MPG on the tester car? Really?

    Not to mention all the people who turn the car on just to listen to the V8 sound, rev it a few times, and then turn it off without driving anywhere.
  8. Mustang Winter Driving

    I would argue clearance is the only issue if you're buying snow tires. I don't have any AWD experience, but I've had absolutely no issues the past two winters and we've had numerous significant snowfalls. For reference, we got over 12 inches of snow on Superbowl Sunday, and I had no issues...
  9. Your Anti-theft Solutions?

    For a quick test, roll your window down and get out and lock the door (either with the remote or with the door button while door is still open). After a couple of minutes, try sticking your arm in the open window. The alarm should go off.
  10. Your Anti-theft Solutions?

    My understanding is the alarm will only go off for a significant tilt (i.e. if someone tries to tow the car), or if an individual somehow gets in the car (doors open or motion sensors detect movement). Simply trying to open the doors won't trigger the alarm.
  11. Curb Alert Warning?

    I'm pretty sure the next generation Explorer will be able to park in parking spots by itself, too.
  12. Daytime Running Lights (DRLs) on the S550

    Not in Canada. The gills aren't sufficient, which is why all Mustangs in Canada have fog lights standard, as they serve as the DRLs. This is also the case with the 2014s.
  13. Heated side view mirrors

    If all the wiring is there, it would simply be the cost of the mirrors + installation time, the latter of which shouldn't be too expensive. Otherwise, it becomes a lot more complicated and expensive to do. For what it's worth, my 2014 V6 Premium did not come stock with heated mirrors but I...
  14. Did the GM bailout have any effect on your decision to purchase a Ford?

    The Canadian government gave billions to GM and Chrysler at the same time the US government did. That being said, the fact GM seems to be shifting their Canadian production elsewhere despite the billions they've received from the Canadian government is all but guaranteeing that I won't buy...
  15. The Ford Powers That Be!

    Over the course of the model year I highly doubt that 75% of the 2015 Mustang sales will be V8s. I wouldn't be surprised in the least if that number is under 50% (and likely has been in past years, as well). The V8 is very important to the Mustang (to an extent I think it even drives non-V8...
  16. Had my first winter driving experience

    I use silicone lubricant on my 2014 and it seems to solve the problem. Dealer should have it, but you can also get it elsewhere. Spray it at the top and bottom of the window and it works for quite a while.
  17. Reverse Park Assist

    If it's caked in ice, that's one thing and yes, there isn't too much you can do about that. I interpreted your post to mean that the sensors were cleared (and working normally) until you started driving and snow/ice moved from one area of the car and wound up covering the sensors (in which...
  18. Reverse Park Assist

    This is easily solved by clearing all of the snow off of your car, which you really should be doing anyway...
  19. Summer Only Tire Warning, Blue curbed 322 miles

    People making a conscious decision to drive using tires that may not fit the weather and / or road conditions is not something that Ford should ever be responsible for. Would it be beneficial to some consumers if the PP was offered with optional all-seasons? Probably. But, generally speaking...
  20. 2016 Mustang changes?

    My understanding is it's completely different hardware, so an upgrade isn't possible.
