051A Guard V6 Review

[Malikona]

Congratulations on your new ride! Does Maryland require a Front License Tag? If not, I would have killed the idiot for mounting that Advertising Plate on the front bumper! I ordered a 2015 Base V6 Convertible too with the same 051A Package as well. You (did) order the Spare Tire, didn`t you, 66W instead of the Can of Sealant Goo and Mini Air Inflator, right? I ordered mine with Spoiler Delete 13D also.

Don't think he ordered it, think he just picked it up off the lot (but I'm sure will correct me if I'm wrong!).

Some Dealership`s down here in South FL print the Dealerships name and Logo on the Spare Tire Cover that fits on the rear door of some Jeep models. I don`t give a sweet rats a$$ if I bought the Car off the Lot or Special ordered it. They would have to order me a new Factory replacement before I took delivery. Unless they are paying their buyers a monthly advertising fee for putting on that crap, no way Jose!

Very nice, congrats!

I cut out part of one of your pics of the base radio:

For those that have never used one of these radios before, the 4 buttons with the lines on them correspond to the 4 soft menu items on the display (Options, Device, Info, Play/Pause). The soft menu items are contextual, and change depending on the media source or function selected.

I've seen people previously bitch about the apparent blank buttons on the base center stack and just wanted to point out that they are not blank.

Thank you for the deatails, kind like PDA's before the iPhone. Should be quite workable.

I personally think the chrome ascents are cheap looking...would rather not have them and have aluminum. I think chrome is tacky no matter what. ;)

Spartan: Your chrome is showing :-)

Take notice. The "Base Radio" in fact has (no) Sirius Satellite Button but the "Mute" Button instead. That, once and for all ends the speculation whether or not the Base V6 will have the Sirius feature. Thanks Ford. A 13K Hyundai Accent or Kia Rio comes "Standard" with Sirius Satellite Radio but a 30K plus Mustang, (not). What a hoot!

People still listen to satellite radio?

Unfortunately Maryland does require a front license plate.... And cops around here are terrible about pulling you over for that... Tried to go without a front plate on my 70 for awhile but kept getting pulled over... Wouldn't believe me when I said it never came with a front plate..! lol As far as the car! I did just pick one up off the lot so I did not order it. So no it doesn't have the spare tire but that was an easy fix as I have a few spares at home anyways! (My parents used to own a body shop)

the v6 would be the car to get if it had all options...running 87 gas it gets 300 (more than the ecoboost gets at 87)....running 93 im sure it would be at the least 305hp. My car is a 3.7 2011 with a tune/intake/axleback...i feel its fast and it has 2.73 gears which i desperately need to change next...the only negative to the v6 this year is having no options. if it had every option the ecoboost had, im sure more people would buy the v6 after test driving both.

I just stuck my plate in the front windshield for quite a while when I got my 2013 and didn't have any issues here in MO. I may do that again with the 2015 and see how long I can get away with it.

Exactly...I get all the music I need off my phone these days.

I have it for Stern. His interviews are great.

You're sure the V6 will make more power than Ford advertises as 'full power', and you're sure it would sell better than the EB with the same options. I'm sure you're right. :doh:

I do think Ford is definitely afraid of cannibalizing EB sales tho which is why they only offer V6 base. Still great car.

Congrats! Can we get some High Quality Pics of the Base Door Panels and Seats?
