I thought the BLIS feature was worth it and I was considering it as a must-have feature when i'm going to order the 18, but after reading your post i am really wondering if it's worth it. I don't care about ACC, LKAS, etc.My '16 SHO made me realize there was quite a few things I didn't want again plus hearing of complaints from other friends with the new Ford's they owned. Here's my list of things I left off of my '18 Mustang on purpose and why...
BLIS - system would fault like previously described on my car.
Auto highbeams - they would turn on when passing semis blinding the driver if the car didn't see another set of taillights or headlights in front of me. I actually had a couple semi drivers swerve at me over it.
Digital dash - the tach was pitiful in the SHO. Just wasn't smooth at all and the display graphics looked horrible. I expected a lot better on a car with a $47k sticker price.
ACC - After hearing from several friends that their ACC never worked correctly again after hitting a opossum/raccoon on the road and the dealerships couldn't fix it after multiple trips, i don't ever want it.
I did like the cross traffic monitoring system. It definitely kept me from getting hit a few times in parking lots where other drivers were hauling a$$ through the lot as I was backing out of my spot.
But the digital dash on the 18's is really nice. I like the 15-17 gauges and it looked like another gimmicky feature when I saw the cluster videos and pictures on the internet. I changed my mind after seeing it in person, it's very cool and thought Ford did a really great job. Besides, the 401A package comes with the heated steering wheel and a better interior so no brainer for me.
