I've been able to drive two different GT's so far and here's what I've realized:
Both cars were manuals one PP and one not. The Chinese made gearbox is quite good, short precise shifts with a nicely weighted clutch. I certainly did not power or speed shift but I liked what I felt.
The exhaust note is perfect, not too loud or too quiet but a nicely sophisticated rumble.
The ride of the PP on 19's is stiffer than the GT prem on 20's. I was pleasantly surprised that the ride on 20's was so comfortable.
The brakes on the GT prem were good but the PP's were superior in feel and bite; both were quite good though.
Fit and finish on both cars was spot on.
One car was CO and the other was Mag, under nighttime dealership lighting the magnetic car looked like guard (quite a bit of green under this lighting).
There was a third CO car (non PP) that had the premium painted 19's and they look great, the mag car had the 20's which also look good but didn't stand out on the mag car. I've seen the 20's on a black Eco that looked stunning. We also saw a white GT with the prem dark aluminum painted 19's that looked amazing.
I have yet to drive or even sit in a car with the color accent pkg and look forward to it as some of the plastics and fake stitching looked a little too low rent on a $40,000.00 car. Hoping the accent trim fixes most of this.
The seat bottoms are very cushy but I think might get too soft in less than a year's time. I think the seat bottoms could benefit from a denser grade foam over time. The seat cooling was very good and not too cold at all.
Acceleration was strong but nothing amazing...this could be attributed to just how well the car absorbs the road isolating the butt accelerometer a bit.
The doors close with a nice solid thunk and the frameless windows are mostly quiet when doing so. Overall build quality in all areas appears very good.
These are damn good cars and will only get better and better if Ford keeps it's mojo going in this direction.
