7000 mile update.

[CF-105]

In less then 2 months, I’ve put 7000 miles on my new Bullitt. It’s mostly been an absolute blast. But like with all cars, there are positives and negatives. So far for me they are:

Positives:
Coyote is a fantastic engine.
Silly amounts of power. Insane how the engine just keeps getting stronger until the rev limiter.
Sounds great.
Nice shifter.
Great seats.
Fantastic ride. Damn. Those magnetic shocks are amazing. You feel the road but it’s never harsh or jarring.
B&O stereo is great.
Best digital dash I’ve seen.
Incredibly usable as a real car and daily driver.
Tons of space for 6’4 me
Amazing amount of engineering/tech for the money.

Negatives:
Sometimes a little too easy to see where they took the money out. Especially in the interior.
Driveline clunky in low gear/low speed situations.
Suspension clunky over small, sharp bumps or uneven road surfaces.
Doors sound cheap when closed.
Sync 3 is irritatingly slow at times.
Wish the Under hood view was more impressive. And a $50k car with a prop rod?
Even new and improved cooled seats are pretty useless.

Overall, a fantastic car and just an incredible value. How Ford managed to put so much great engineering, pure power, and technology into such an inexpensive package is beyond me. Throw a few more coats on paint on it, add some Connolly leather and Wilton carpets, and you get something as good as anything Aston Martin makes. Better, cause Aston is losing the capability to make their own engines.

Take out a few of the clunks, upgrade the interior, and you have as near a perfect road car as I can imagine.

Oh, and the stupid horn sounds like ass. Really, Ford?

There is a horn upgrade. Seems they only gave you one of the two horns required. Another place they saved a dollar.

Yeah, I’ll be doing that soon. Thanks for the reminder. I’ll have to get one ordered.

I’ve been told by my tuner the horn thing was to save weight........lol

I thought I was racking miles. I have had mine two months and have 3500 on it. My biggest issue is some electronics glitches mostly dash not sync3. That’s way faster than my 16 base GT sync was. Over all it is night and day from my GT I traded in. What a difference in just 3 years of production. Not like the old days of Ford sitting on their laurels

I don’t know man those A/C seats are pretty cooling, living in south florida, just saying 100 degree weather there is a benifit

Looks like we have a Race going on...

I do notice when I don't have them on, but I'd expect at level three, I'd get cold after a while, and I don't. I'm a large frame, 6.4, so it's not as if a lot of air is circling around me from the seat.

Only 10,480? You've got some driving to do!

The plan is to drive Toronto to California in September. I'm guessing I'll take a pretty commanding lead after that.

I found it a pretty big jump over the lower tier GTs I drove too. Magneride, in particular, is pure magic.

Now if they could just do something about the driveline clunks...

Question: Do you have the windows closed and the A/C on floor?
They will be noticeably colder. Crank the AC and you'll get the 'did I piss myself' feeling.

I drive with the windows down even in 25C-30C and they'll be ok (not cool) for a very short period of time until the hot air builds up in the seat. Especially on parking lot 401

Good tip!
Thanks, i,'ll give that a try.

Air only comes out of the uncovered holes, if I sit with my legs resting against the side bolsters it blocks most of the airflow & I do not cool off. I shift my position around a little & will lift up off the seat for a few seconds, makes a big difference. I service cars in the sun all day & this works well especially when its @ 95+ with high humidity, which is just about everyday in South Florida

I used the live in St. Petersburg for a few years, so I remember that well. About May 15 to October 15, it was brutal. Then 7 months of paradise.
