No problems with mine yet. Itching to drive it again. It's been 2 weeks since I drove it. Snowing today. I ran a couple
11.92's bone stock then basically put it away. Only 800 miles on it so far.

3700 miles here. No issues.
Saw its first pass at the track at 540 miles. Sees redline almost daily.

Comfort wise I’d easily drive this across the country and back. Plenty of room for two. Actually has a trunk with decent space. I believe the ride is super comfy for a pp1 car. Real world handling and braking are incredible.

Power on the corn with A10 is plenty to get you in trouble. Solid and repeatable 11 second car (non sea level track, 2700 DA, headwind) on factory oem tires does not suck. One hell of a value proposition @ 7k off list. Camaro and Challenger not even close $ wise on new unit. Boom!

2019 Magnetic Metallic GT PP1
2019 PP1 Magnetic Metallic MT-82 here with 3200 miles. I bought it late-August and it is not my daily driver but I find myself driving it more and more. Normally I would only bring it to work on Friday's and drive it on the weekends but now I will drive it to work mid-week and to the gym in the evenings from time to time. The only time I will not drive it is when it is raining.I've been caught in the rain and it annoys me because it gets dirty lol

Anyways I love this car. I'm still getting used to it as far as the technology goes and the difference between these and the Fox Body and SN-95 platforms. Yes it ticks and knocks and has the clunky drivetrain noises sometimes but I'm not paranoid about them. I'll drive it hard and if it blows, it blows. I have the 4/50 Lincoln Warranty on it.

I love the look and the body lines. I also like how they lowered the hood line from previous years. The fact that it rides so smooth and handles well appeals to me as well.

The value of it is excellent too. I paid $40k for mine and think that the power/tech/ride quality is definitely worth it.

I’ll chime in. Just hit 10k miles this week in my 18 GT A10. I did NOT break her in hard. Babied until 1000 miles or so. I have had zero issues or complaints. It honestly gets more thumbs up and looks than other performance cars I’ve owned. It’s been a surprisingly comfortable road trip car as well.....even with an X pipe and muffler delete. I find myself turning around to look at it, and taking pictures more than I care to admit, and wouldn’t change my decision to buy my 18’ a bit. For perspective, I’m coming from an E92 M3, and before that an E46 M3. This car blows them both out of the water.

2018 A10. Ordered in March 18, and arrived in May we haven't driven it that much, and the farthest from home (NC) it's been is Myrtle Beach, SC. This is the brides 3rd GT (prior ones were a'10, '13), and this car is the absolute best of the bunch so far. The ride, and comfort are great. The A10 is a blast. With 2300 miles on it I am very impressed with this 5.0L. As plans go we are thinking of taking it to Arizona this fall to visit some old friends.

My car has the tick occasionally and the diesel sound. It has since under 1k miles. I have no worries though because it runs so strong. I don't think it will be an issue.

Just wanted to say holy cow this trans is a beast! I’m surprised how good it feels. Super smooth shifts and in sport mode it’s completely awesome. Bone stock car

If someone with a healthy engine wants to post a video of their car at idle, I'd much appreciate it. I don't think I've heard a single good one, and would very much like to. I want hope that my new engine may actually be okay, and not just a big cycle of problems.
