So I've had the car for 3 weeks now and I drove it for almost 900Kms. mostly on weekends since I'm too scared some reckless c*nt is gunna hit it on my daily commute.
My first impressions are mostly positive, I'd say 96% positive. First of all, this car is so different than anything I've drove before. 3 main differences are Size, Power and the RWD. My other two cars are 2012 GTi and 2003 Corolla, both FWD, 2.0T and 1.3 respectively, and they are both smaller than the Stang. I'm still getting used to the size of the car, especially since I can't see the road ahead of me because of that big hood. Parking is not an issue, I've always parked in reverse, and of course the camera and sensors make it that much easier. I haven't been pushing the engine yet, I wanna get used to the power of the car yet, though I give it a little every now and then just to hear the sound of that V8 roaring.
Driving experience, it's very pleasing and enjoyable, very comfortable, even though I haven't found the perfect seating position yet. One thing though, I find the steering wheel a bit heavy, I haven't tried the different steering feel and driving modes yet. Interior is great, definitely a very nice place to be, with the exception of the hard plastics used here and there.
The negatives are mainly panel alignment (I'd say it's 90% perfect) and some rattling/buzzing sound from the inside. I'm trying to ignore them since the positives are much MUCH more, and in the end it was worth the LONG wait.
Reaction from people has been great. I think I've made the right choice with the color, even my parents think it looks great in CO. I've had thumbs up from Shelby's and S197's, mostly other Mustang owners. The other day the parking lot security guard stopped me to ask what's the deal with this car, I asked him what's wrong, he said everyone that's passing by stops to take pictures.
Overall, I'm very happy with my choice (and color). Will post new pictures as soon as I get a chance, probably by next weekend.
P.S. For anyone having a hard time choosing a color, and Competition Orange is a choice, I'd say go for CO; Simply gorgeous!
