The ES350 is the boringest of boring cars! I had one as a loaner for about two hours and thought it was the perfect car for an 80-year old.
Actually I find that having boring cars in front of me causes rage. :frusty:
The mustang is a nice pick-me-up in the morning, and the reward for getting...
It was quite hot here in Washington State in the US last June (funny if you know the reputation of the "Evergreen State" as a wet, rainy place).
My EB drove perfectly fine in 100 - 112 degree (F) heat. It wasn't as quick as in cooler weather, but it was still enjoyable to drive. No problems...
That EB will make a great highway commute car but...
If you're in stop and go traffic, it'll make you crazy that you can't open the car up and have fun you should get to have with it. Doubly so if it's a manual. The Hyundai probably won't create that problem.

Yep, the windows slime up inside, especially when it's hot.
Get yourself some of the Stoner Invisible Glass stuff and their silly-looking cleaning wand with the triangular head. Use it every couple of weeks. It looks stupid but works great.
I traded in an '01 IS300 for a '15 EB Premium. There is so much more power and torque available at the rear wheels on the Mustang, it's a night and day difference. I don't think the IS could ever have spun its rear wheels on dry pavement, where the 'stang certainly can!
