EU Owners: TOP 5 Questions asked?

[Notes]

wonder if they will 'one day, if I ever get it' ask me if it's a diesel with the FR Borla exhaust....

Even with the stock exhaust people told me today I passed by their door at 9PM yesterday, haha!
Been driving with the windows down this evening and must admit it sounds pretty pleasant for a 4 cylinder, also noticed the turbo whistle when accelerating..

Now that some us have our cars for a bit now and arrivals coming in, what are the top 5 questions people have asked you so far?

Mine are:

1. Is it a diesel? (9/10)
   
2. What engine does it have? (8/10)
3. How much did you pay? (5/10)
4. Can I drive it (3/10)
5. Does it have beepers? (Parking sensors front/back) (2/10)

I figured this could be interesting... so chime in!

Update: I have another one as Bonus!

1. Is this a new car or an old one? Me: Yes new: Oh, I didn't know that they still make Mustangs (2/10)

Nice thread Notes! I haven't got my car yet but my friends already asked me if I ordered a diesel and how much I have paid.

Front parking sensors confirmed by Papinist :lol: :lol: :lol:

Oh no......now you will make him angry again.....

I'm patiently waiting the call... and then :rant: addle:

Rofl!!! I can't figure out why they all ask it's a diesel though! Maybe because 90% are diesels in Belgium, I dunno!

here too, I bet 95% are diesel engines.

My top 5 questions people ask me:

1) Where is your mustang?
2) Has your car been delivered?
3) So, where is the new car you ordered?
4) You were joking you ordered it, right?
5) When will it arrive?

me too, except #4 since I have told to only few people that I ordered a Mustang, and my friends know that I'm not joking on that!

But top of the top question I got asked every time is:
HOW MUCH WILL YOU PAY OF TAX\LUXURY TAX???

It's sad because here luxury tax has killed the sport cars market. My total with the EB will be about 1760 eur yearly... yesterday my colleagues at work are discussing about yerrly tax and they bothered they have to pay about 160 eur for this year

When I was checking out one of the new dealer cars this week there was a salesman with it and a couple. The guy was about 2 meters tall and asked the salesman if he could sit in the back. Instead of telling him that he could not possibly fit in there in a million years the salesman actually opended the door for him and invited him to try :doh:

Needless to say they almost had to call the fire department to get him out.

Heheh I should have done that :lol:

Now that I have my car for a week, I can update the top 5:

1. is that a ferrari?
2. How much does it costs?
3. is this a diesel?
4. what's the max speed?
5. a Mustang? what's the brand?

1 is fun in the ferrari's home country..
3 because nearly all cars here are diesel
5 because noone knows that is ford that makes mustang. Here ford is known for small and average cars, like fiesta, ka, focus... noone can imagine they also build something like this

New question:

"Wow! What Jaguar is it??"

 

[NewMustangDE]

Most common question by me now.....

"How many PS (Horsepower) does it have?"

The most common comment: "my dreamcar".... people are then seriously chocked when I tell them it's cheaper than my wife Volvo V40!

 

[John577]

My most common question during this time :

"How will you drive your car during the winter if there is a lot of snow?"

And someone says :

"You can put 2 or 3 cement bags in the trunk for more weight" :lol:

 

[papinist]

you made me remember another question:

"How much space you have in the trunk?"
Showing trunk and pointing out that rear seats are collapsible.
"Oh so you can fit an IKEA wardrobe too!"
:lol::lol:

Haha.

Exactly the questions I am getting.

Have to admit the DI in the eco does sound like a Diesel.
I had a kid ask me if it was a Lamborghini :lol:

 

[Lord Thunder]

I had an elderly couple roll down the window next to me while in a trafic jam, asking me "What brand of car is that?".

 

[Gryphon]

My coworkers have developed a habit lately of asking in an almost sarcastic 'He's making this whole Mustang thing up' tone - 'So... When's this car of yours coming?' every once in a while.

 

[Notes]

FYI the diesel question still seems to be the number one question asked after 2 months of driving this pony!
