The 10 Speed is well regarded, but it all depends on what you prefer. For me the modest performance increase in the 10 speed is not worth the trade off - a boring driving experience (I prefer rowing gears in my fun car).I currently have a yellow 2015 gt pp MT 50 yr package Mustang.
The dealership is interested in my car and trying to talk me in to an 18.
I know with the 15 that the automatic was the better transmission and that I could have done without a few things.
What are the suggestions on the 18, is the 10 speed auto any good? What about the active exhaust and the magnetic ride? Any feedback would be appreciated! Thank you!
Yeah, my apologies to the OP. Agreed that we should all drive what fits us best.Not to turn this into a Manual vs. Auto thread... but you just did, LOL!
My 15 was auto and I loved it. It was fast!
My 18 is manual, and I love it! Not as fast as my 15, because I can’t shift as fast... but I am enjoying the hell out of rowing the gears again. Feels more like I’m in a race car!
Drive what you want and F*&k everybody else’s opinion!
It's a "waste" to make the car better? Don't think so from my perspective, stock is never good enoughOne of the good things about the '18+ is that you don't have to waste money on expensive extras.
I did the X-pipe on my 16 GT and as the carbon builds up it will get deeper and louder, just give it time.I would say Auto for sure unless youre a die hard manual guy. i love the 10 speed. the rest depends on what you want to do. i like the PP1 and the magne ride for all the auto adjustments done based on mode. the active exhaust in my opinion you can do without as most people will buy a nice exhaust. for me im just going to do an X pipe to delete the suit case but the exhaust stock is pretty decent. jsut needs more volume.
It's apparent the car is an automatic in D and it's also apparent the car is an automatic in S. Paddle shifters aren't instantaneous. That transmission isn't a replacement for a manual. A manual and a GT are synonymous . Nothing will ever change that. Car sounds better with a manual too. Just my opinion though.Not to turn this into a Manual VS Auto thread but I find it funny that so many say "The auto is boring, you must row gears to enjoy driving the car". I actually find the A10 the best of both worlds. Its super easy to drive if you want to, throw it in D and go. Or you can choose multiple drive modes, throw it down into S and let it be more aggressive automatically or paddle shift it yourself. The only thing you are missing is the stabbing the clutch with your foot and tailoring the release to your taste or purpose. Yeah the paddles are a bit more video game like but it can be as or even more fun with more option. You can just stab the throttle once and the A10 will down shift to the perfect take off gear or you can control it yourself. So much variety in how to drive it, it truly is more fun if you want it to be. I actually would prefer a manual in a smaller more go cart like vehicle like a Miata. Then the clutch is light and easy, you most likely won't break it and the car is meant for whipping it around. Maybe I'm just starting to show my age. LOL
The paddle shifters in my 2018 are instantaneous. I would bet they are faster than having to press and release clutch in a manual. Sure the experience is different manual vs auto, but it's not less responsive with paddles.It's apparent the car is an automatic in D and it's also apparent the car is an automatic in S.

No doubt man, paddle shifters are definitely faster than a clutch+shifter.The paddle shifters in my 2018 are instantaneous. I would bet they are faster than having to press and release clutch in a manual. Sure the experience is different manual vs auto, but it's not less responsive with paddles.
