Strangely, I think the current Mazda CX-5, and perhaps other Mazdas, don't have touchscreens and require the use of a knob/joystick to control them. I have an older CX-5, and it does have a small touch screen, but the touch screen is disabled while moving, and you have to use the joystick...

Looks are always subjective, so it's up to each person to decide what they like or don't. Technically, I guess everything is subjective, but I think looks are more in that category. My biggest issues with the new ones are price, and electronics. Not only the dash, but all of the other...

Not die cast, but still a Mustang in miniature - I saw this at the local hobby store, and I guess they came out about a year ago, but that is the first I'd seen of them. A downside is that all the lights, and even the grille, are stickers. An upside is that with the lights and things being...

I'm a little late on this one, but I had a '14 GT Premium with the Brembo package and Recaros, with the MT-82, and I really enjoyed it. I didn't have a lot of issues with the transmission, but it did seem a little finicky at times. I'll also say that the interior is a definite step up in my...

Yeah, I priced out a car similar to my 2018, which I thought was pretty well optioned, and the new one is $7000-$8000 more than the MSRP that mine was. I was able to knock off an additional $5000 from that, which I think is unlikely in the current market.

My thoughts exactly, there's just a lot going on in the car world and Mustang world right now, so none of this is really shocking.

Sounds a lot like the rumor around Ford's plans for the Mustang, which I haven't heard much about lately: https://www.thedrive.com/news/electric-corvette-brand-coming-in-2025-with-suv-four-door-sedan-report

I had an '04 for 9 years with no front plate, got pulled over twice for speeding in that time and was never ticketed for no front plate. Things could have changed since then, though. When I bought my '18 the dealership told me they had to put the bracket on due to new government regulations...

Another Mustang drag race comparison:

The Throttle House guys did a quick drag race comparison between the new 400z, a Scat Pack, and a Mustang GT:

Yep, that's my fave as well - it's what I think of when I think of a Mustang. Here's another view of it, in a different color:

Some really great photos here - I love the looks of the S550. Here's mine:

Took it for a drive and thought this looked like a good spot for a photo. It was clean when I started, but got a few bug splats by the time I took the photos, but I don't think they show up in this shot.

Similarly, I have a 2018 GT (not as cool as a GT350, but still fun) and a 2016 Mazda CX-5 as well :crackup:

I'm not a big fan of personalized plates, even though I have them. The only reason I got them was because I wanted the black California plates, and it was the same price whether personalized or not, so I figured I'd get my money's worth and get them personalized. I regret doing that a little now.

I'd be interested in a test sometime with a passenger in my car whose 10spd is badly shifting - I'm pretty sure that at least half the time I'm driving in Normal mode, most people not watching the dash or hearing the rev change wouldn't even know the thing shifted, because it's so smooth. Makes...

A thread with a question like this could make sense if someone was considering which transmission to buy, and wanted input on the factors that people considered when making their decision, but the "Mine's better!" "No MINE'S better!" exchanges that this devolves into is pointless. I don't...

I have to wonder how it would go if Ford didn't limit the max output on the MME to 5 seconds. I wonder if that's something they'll change in an update, or if there is a hard reason why it can't go for longer.

My story is a lot like others that have already posted. I came from decades of manuals, and hating autos, but the A10 was different, and the changed gearing on the '18 manual made me decide to take a look. The A10 works well - it has some issues that all autos have, but in most ways works...
