Said goodbye to my '16 ECB Premium PP manual CO Mustang w/ SOLO exhaust. Have fallen in love with the RF Miata.
Have had a bunch of performance cars and a bunch of little cars. Always appreciated the Miata but never enough to buy one. Well the RF just caught my eye and boom, got a Soul Red with...
Thanks. I am hoping the bug dies, but my history reflects once smitten, hard to let go. Might be why I was smitten with my wife when I met her when we were 16, 58 years later I am so glad she has kept me around.
Actually, she likes the Miata! Keep running, it works. At 5'10"" and 145-150 pounds...
Geez, I forgot to mention a used '60 MGA, a new '71 MG Midget(POS) and a used '79 911 Porche Targa( an expensive pos).
I noted not too many runners on the forum:).
Might well be losing it. Soon to be 74, I am kind of smitten with the new MX5 RF. My 15 month old ECB Premium PP with only 6,100 miles, may be for sale. I have a history of going big car/ little car. GTI to a 5.0 in '91. In 2004 went from a C5 Vette to a 2005 MCS. Then in 2009 to a BMW 135, then...
Pretty quiet? Yikes! I know this is pretty subjective, but even with my 73 year old ears- 20+ years in the Army, around a few howitzers and too many rock concerts my sense is it is not that quiet. I have a petition from my neighbors that will attest to the loudness:D
To me it can be outrageous...
Suggest you contact Ford. From a little research it appears that in a lot of cases it is the evaporator, which is a timely job. One of the techs I talked with advised that Ford starting sending out a whole new replacement for the evaporator. Up until recently they would replace just the core...
Mine went out at 4,800 miles! I posted in another thread about my 9 day ordeal. Got car back last Fri. All working great. Tech did a super job. Not found anything that would reveal the whole dash was taken out. Hopefully no more issues. I buy new cars to avoid aggravation.
Well Friday afternoon I finally got a call the evaporator replaced. AC working!.
Couldn't tell they had the dash off/ seats out. Great to have my car back. Every time I looked at my fusion loaner it reminded me I was 73. Got in my ECB/ manual and with the SOLO exhaust,I felt 21 again.:) Nick
Pathetic. Brought car back at 0730 on Monday. Was told might not get to it till Tuesday. Not happy. Told them I need a loaner. Tuesday Am, picked up a loaner- "17 Fusion with less than 2k miles. Told me it might be Wed to Thurs.
Suggestion: avoid Tallahassee Ford.
Thanks for letting me vent a...
Saga continues. Picked up the car today. Told to bring back Monday morning and they will replace the evaporator. Very frustrating. Maybe I am lucky, first time with issues with a new car since my 2001 C5 Vette. 2005 MINI Cooper S, no issues. 2009 BMW 135, no issues, 2011 MINI JCW, no issues...
Called for appointment on Monday, told to drop car off on Wednesday morning. Was told they were backed up and may get to it today(Thursday) got a text this PM. Evaporator being replaced. Hopefully can get my car back tomorrow. Only 5,000 miles. Sad.
Sorry to add a comment after all that stuff that just preceded my post. My 2016 ECB manual is in the shop- evaporater after only 5,000 miles. Been driving my wife's BMW- 328 auto. Pretty peppy in sport mode, but I miss rowing the gears. I have never owned a auto car for myself. At 73, I tried an...
Did a search and was surprised nothing showed up.
My first issue after 1 year of ownership, ac went out with only 4,800 miles on it.
Will I be offered a loaner car or am I on my own to rent a vehicle? Will Ford reimburse? Or, am I dreaming?
I have USAA, I will check with them.
Loaner car? Not quite. Bought brand new. Had for just 1 year. Used ac a lot, yet many days during cooler weather Drive w/o with windows down. More so since I put a SOLO cat back exhaust on.
On a trip will take to dealer next week.
My first week of ownership 1 year ago I had the mufflers deleted. Got rid of the ugly muffler look and cheap tips. Decent exhaust note. Thought about deleting the suit case resonator but wasn't nuts about the raspyness( is that a word?).
Spent a lot of time listening to exhaust videos and...
Coming up on 5,000 miles. Changed oil around 2,000 to Amsoil about 8 months ago. Monitor shows 16%. 90% short city driving. I realize this may trigger all sorts of opinions, know this, I am open to others, hopefully knowledgeable, thoughts on this. Thanks.
