New car paranoia?

[skinnyb]

I am a little in the middle. I like to keep mine clean and baby it in the garage thru the week, I do have a pretty nice daily driver that I drive since I drive 200 plus miles a day for work. That said, I do get it out on the weekends and take drives, I go for 200 mile road trips at least once a month across state lines to visit family. II have driven in a frog strangler rain storm more than once (the auto rain sensing wipers are awesome BTW). I've had mine a little over 3 months and have about 3200 miles. 1000 a month is the average. I doubt I will take it out much in the winter with summer tires unless it's a warmer day, don't want to have any ill effects of hard tires. My next set once the P Zeros are gone will be High Performance All seasons.

I will never understand people who buy somewhat affordable mass produced cars and not drive them. Seems a lot of older dudes like to do this. Which is puzzling being toward the end of your life preserving your car.

I daily drive mine and get it washed once a week. I don`t abuse my car but I also don`t worry about stuff breaking. The warranty for me is a big part of the car even though I hate working with dealerships. I even went ahead and bought the Ford extended warranty so I can enjoy this car for a very long time worry free.

450 miles on mine this week. I got it to make memories with my family not sit in a garage collecting dust.

I‘m just a little over 700 on my ‘22 from early July, but in my defense since I got it I’ve been rehabbing a new knee on the clutch side. Went a month without being cranked. But it’s starting to loosen up a little now and feels great.

might wanna check out the 25 dollar steeda clutch pedal spring. makes the clutch feel consistent. takes 5 minutes to swap.

The Steeda clutch pedal spring is one of the best mods I have done...and I have done more than a few.

Guys, isn’t it true that the Steeda spring doesn’t reduce clutch effort but actually increases it just a bit while making it smoother?

its kinda weird. the stock setup has like 2 so its really hard to compare the two.
the stock spring basically eliminates pedal effort and this just allows for enough so you can feel what's going on.

NO, the compression rate of the spring is consistent, throughout its cycle.

Take the spring out entirely. Enjoy your new clutch feel.

Mine has been out since the day I took delivery of the car, over seven years ago. Zero issues.

What is the potential problem?

At the end of the day, we're not driving out of warranty ferraris and lambos. relax a little and let it rip, could always be a bigger headache

What makes you think it serves no purpose? Think the spring is there because someone's uncle sells them?
