I have not read the vast majority of posts here BUT the one thing I would say, as I suspect most have said, is to not buy anything that has been tuned, or tuned and then de-tuned. No one knows what stupidity may have been applied to these vehicles. I would also buy only one that is fully stock...

I don't believe I have ever changed brake fluid on any vehicle in the last 50 years except when brake pads/rotors et al need to be replaced. Might be every 5 (or more) years. Seems like an invitation to simply introduce contaminants and/or cause leaks.

I didn't say TPMS flagged high pressure but when I add air to left front, I can watch the pressure reading going up on the right front on the screen. Clearly, bad QC and will get it re-programmed at the next servicing. Overall, my 55 years of experience with Japanese vs American cars has been...

I have not read all the pages in this thread but FORDS (FixOrRepairDaily) do have their QC issues. One would think a 2022, 8th year in on this generation of Mustang, would be (should be) flawless. I had 3 Fords back in the 60s and 70s and they were all crap. Never had one again until I bought...

I have heard of jokes before but this one takes the cake. A poorly built, cheap 22GT subject to quality issues is better than a 911S? I have a 22GT too but it was not for reason of quality, ride, performance or class. The 22GT is simply an inexpensive muscle car with a classic exhaust note.

I went with the 3:15 instead of the 3:55 on my '22 A10 for lower highway rpm at speed and technically better gas mileage but I doubt that made measurable difference given where the optimal torque curve is. I probably should have stayed with the standard 3:55 for more responsive downshifting at...

My vehicle sits in garage for 3-4 months here in southern BC (Canada). I agree with those that simply say: 1. full tank of gas 2. stabilizer to gas tank while at last fill up to move the stabilizer around through the fuel system (need special long funnel to get stabilizer in). Don't really think...

Have only had my '22 GT vert for 2 summers so far so that still is in 'thrills' mode and enjoying it. In the Southern Interior of BC, just above WA state, it is a 8-9 month vehicle with about 6 months of that top down. I just put it to bed today in my garage with a battery tender. I bought...

I would have gotten Magneride as well on my GT

About to turn 74. First Mustang and first true muscle car. Intended to scratch an itch that I couldn't afford in my 20s. Exhaust, power, top down. Nuff said.

3. The margin is higher for upgraded units. When there is limited ability to produce volume due to scarcity of parts (chips) or labor, why waste precious output on a less profitable vehicle?

There are a myriad of opinions on this matter as regards facts versus supposition and opinion. Much of it is ideologically or emotionally charged and I simply don't engage any longer in such discussion. Regardless, EVs are here to stay in one form or another, in varying quantities yet to be...

I have little doubt EVs will dominate the new vehicle sales landscape by 2035 as many developed countries will mandate varying degrees of increasing percentages of EVs by then, but that is good thing from an environmental perspective, e.g. clean air on our highways and in our urban cities. It...

I added stabilizer circa Nov 1 on the premise I won't turn the engine over until about the end of March and won't be using any of the fuel. Stabilizer does reduce oxidization, and condensation especially in ethanol mixed gasoline but I actually don't think that is necessary with a high quality...

German brands simply kill one's budget once the repairs start, but if you must I'd go for the BMW M3 sedan. The standard version is4 second 0-60 but alas apparently only a manual shifter, while the Competition model is half a second faster with an auto tranny. The BMW Z4 was on my short list...

I store mine in an unheated attached garage so ambient can get down to about freezing point. However, since snow melts off our other vehicle when it comes into the garage, there can be standing water in the garage from time to time. For that reason, I added some stabilizer to a full tank of 91...

To add to my previous post, https://www.aaa.com/AAA/common/AAR/files/Laminated-Glass-Vehicle-List.pdf is a list of vehicle models with laminated glass in some or all of the side windows. Our s550 Mustangs have tempered side glass. My Mazda has laminated side glass for driver and front seat...

Windshields have been made out of glass layers with an internal polymer (hence laminated glass) since Henry Ford started using it in 1919. Laminated glass prevents/minimizes the chance of windshields shattering into thousands of shards of glass being sent into the passenger compartment...

From a climate, weather and environment perspective, Monterey, along with Carmel by the Sea, is a beautiful part of the state. Keep your vehicles stock is the best advice most anyone can give. There are many other things in life more important than cleaning out the bank account on mods.

I am really glad I made the decision to buy the '22 GT. - The front end of the S650 has almost totally lost its distinctive Mustang character. - I also like the slightly lower beltline but dislike the absence of lines along the sides. - I like the brake caliper options. - The digital dash is...
