Impressions after renting two s550

[oustaz]

Been lurking this forum since Sept 2013 and I have been following the s550 for almost two years now. I finally had the opportunity to test out both cars for 24 hours each.

Coming from a 2012 Camaro v6, the v6 s550 feels equaly fast despite being lighter, the base interior is really nice in person and the seats are comfortable. This car has a reliable engine and I will seriously consider it if the after market comes up with a bigger screen.

The ecoboost premium is definitely faster than my 2012 Camaro but I noticed a bit of turbo lag and the sound is also not bad for a 4cyl. The interior is nice and My ford touch is not as bad as described in my opinion. I liked the pony projector but cooled seats are not really cooling in my opinion. I could hear a noise under the seats but It didn't feel really cold out there so for people who opt out of recaros for cooled seats, I say get the recaros. I got good mileage(23mpg) with an agressive foot.

Overall I think Ford did a good job but I am really not impressed with the ecoboost, I can tell it has a lot of potential but the v6 is the better bang for your buck just because of the NA engine and great sound so I can't wait to get my hands on one.:ford:

Get the GT. Everything else is fluff.

OP previous thread. Go away.

I was pretty set on getting a 2016 Mustang ecoboost but the new Camaro really has me doubting. I am not really fan of the tail lights design but the 335 naturally aspirated v6 and premium interior available for V6 is enough for me to consider it. I don't know if anyone at Ford will read this but to counter the Camaro, they should offer a premium NA v6 with around 350 hp and aluminium door to save weight and offer the ecoboost for Overseas or as a base model.

What I said hasn't changed, I like n/a aspirated engine more than turbos. You guys gotta stop thinking that everyone is a troll.

It's Crazy how you guys don't want to hear any negative opinion about this car, well you have to accept the fact that this car isn't perfect and not everyone is loyal to Ford, I'm loyal to what I like and what makes me happy, I don't care about the rest.

Pretty much this. Although i will say that the V6 is a very fun motor. Love the sound it makes at full wail.

many of us

cooled/heated seats > recaros

I couldn't do without my heated or cooled seats in Chicago mostly the heat but the cool is awesome as well.
