Mustang down

[ivonovi]

Apparently they were was Mustang which spun off on a round about near the castle hill area. I was at the Power Ford dealership for the boys to have a look at some of the niggles in the car and they mentioned it. The damage seemed pretty bad.

All of us out there with Mustangs...whether Eco or GT, we've got a lot of horses and torque going out to those rear wheels and they will slide out.....so be safe out there.

Damn! No good at all.

Ouch thats not great.

What are your niggles BTW?

I was wondering how long it would take sadly-after seeing the crashes in the US and some of the GT reviews I reckoned it would be sooner than later.

I think pushing the envelope comes with much more risks, especially if its wet.

Does make we wonder about amping up the power.

Traction control off? Skill set - imagined better than real?

It's a shame though, hopefully nobody hurt.

So I was asked...when are you looking to get a Supercharger...all that extra horsepower and killowatts you can get !! My answer, the car has already got enough Kill-owatts to kill me if I am silly so am pretty happy with it

Niggles....well I have been very hesitant to post them cause to be honest I havent had the dealer sort them out yet, I have shown and made them aware of them.

BUT, the build quality is crap....the car interior seems to have been put together by some college kids on minimum wages.

The trim and the rubber linings are loose.
I have a convertible, and the plastic trim above the windscreen are literally falling apart.
The rear bumper is not properly aligned.
The driver seat rocks, not much but it seems as if it's not latching correctly.
The handbrake is loose...as in when it is fully engaged or disengaged, the lever moves..it's as if it loose.
The leather is already getting scuffed...and this is less than one month.
The mirrors dont fold fully
The little mustang puddle light is out of alignment and the driver side one is not looking too great.

Overall it's a great car, let down by the build quality, let down quite badly.
Now this might just be my car, I dont know and am hoping Ford will sort them out. They, the dealer Powerford and Ford have been pretty good for me.

Here's another interesting story. So the start/stop button sits really close the hazard toggle, I was in the city ...needing to change lanes, someone actually let me come in, so I decided to thank them with a little flick of the Hazard switch...and the next thing the car powered down !! So people with butter fingers or huge fingers...beware !

That should help the insurance pemiums to rise nicely.

Oh gees Ivonovi - the car powering down like that with the wrong button hit, lucky you didn't get hit by the other traffic. Thanks for your honest review. So sorry to hear that there are so many niggly bits not quite right. Hope they (Ford and the dealer) sort them out pronto. Keep us posted please.

Shouldn't you be off to the dealer, Bob?

I have been asked how much power the have countless times, my response it "enough to wrap it around a tree"

Then I tell them about my mods, and they ask why?

"to wrap it around a tree faster"

:lol: :lol:

Wow, that sounds really dissappointing.
Mine hasn't displayed any of the issues yours has, the one issue mine does have is the microphone for voice controls.... no use using it, it either cant here me or isn't working

Tires upgrades are a priority above all else. Safety first

After that... suspension stuff will go a long way to increase traction.

Must be this one I guess.. Found the picture on fb. Hope they are okay!
I wonder if the car is going to be a write off, if not how long till parts come in lol
